wow, i just still can't even really believe it. i never knew lance personally but seeing j church play this tiny club in gainesville about ten years back was magical. i listened to "nostalgic for nothing" (on cassette, even!) over & over in my freshman dorm room. i hope the memorial is sweet & inspiring, & not too terribly sad.

I honestly think it will be a good event. Unfortunately memorials are also reunions. But it'll be good to see a bunch a folks I haven't seen in years. You should come if you want. There will be folks there who only knew Lance through his music as well.

why, i edited his obituary for billboard last week. i hadn't heard of him, but i ended up having to research him a little to check some facts. very sad.

That's awesome that he had an obit in Billboard.

Beautiful posters.

Again, I'm so sorry that you've lost him.

Thanks J.

I kind of want to steal the icon in that second poster.

well, why not? It's not like we asked Banksy.

though who knows? Seems like everyone knew Lance.

Hey do ex-band members get posters? Those are lovely.

I don't have the poster but can e-mail you when I get home with who you should ask. Or just copy the image and print it out yourself!

Ah okay!

they're gorgeous posters. the world is sadder without him.

good job. you're good at being the/a person who helps the community remember and create rituals, you know that, right?

let me know if I can do anything to help and I'll buy the drinks when it's all over.

dumb but honest question

[bucky-sinister.livejournal.com]

do you think it will still be going around 11 pm?

i had plans for the Punchline that night. Cancel-able plans, but I'd like to make both if possible.

plans are that it will end around midnight. But I, personally have a feeling many people will be exhausted by then. Personally, grief takes a lot of energy for me. I don't think I can take 6 hours of memorial.

It's 6:00 pm now, or will people still be there at 4:00?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

yes, it moved to 6. some people are setting up earlier, but that info should be on the list serve. Are you on the list?

"Hi, I'm here for the Lance Memorial. I'm on the list..."

Nope, I get all my info third hand through you! I'm totally available to help set-up if such help is needed. I have no idea what to bring. I'm also struggling between dressing up and digging through my t-shirt drawer.

formal wear and Monsula t-shirts are equally appropriate.
