What's Happening Wednesdays: Streetside Storytellers @ The M Bar, H'wood

My post college career path was in the music industry so any benefit or fundraiser involving music strikes a nostalgic and familiar chord with me. Remember I'm the survivor that decided to produce a benefit a few days before the trial in NY. From LA. Um, yeah. Diversion, yup! Raise money for a good cause? Indeed.

This Saturday night I will be speaking and educating the Streetside Storytellers' audience at The M Bar in Hollywood. The Streetside Storytellers are a diverse group of acoustic musicians ranging from folk to rock who will be sharing the stage in a round robin performance. The storytellers enjoy having non-profits present so I will enjoy being there!

25% of the night's proceeds will be donated to RAINN , the largest anti-sexual assault organization in the country that, in 1996, helped me find another version of me and in the past year, have literally rocked my world with their wonderous innovative work on a national level, their steadfast dedication to breaking LA's third wall, and the humor and incredible support I receive from the people who make it all happen. They amaze me.

If you are East of the 405 this Saturday, stop by and say "hi". There's nothing quite like talking in front of a lively crowd that came to hear music. That element of surprise, the moment when people realize that survivors laugh, tell jokes, listen to music and enjoy life. We even stay out past midnight. Shocking, I know.
