Dave Blood | Memorial Concerts | Donation Info | Dandrew Interview

Many thanks to everyone who attended the memorial concerts in honor of Dave! In all over $18,000 went to Studenica Monastery, the charity Dave chose to support.

50% of ticket sales (minus 5% Philadelphia tax) went to Studenica. Literally, the check was made out to the church directly. That check was for a total of $17,142.86. All the staff at the Trocadero donated their time. The facility fee was also waived.

Cash Donations
The first night we collected $590.96, and the second night we collected $735.39 for a grand total of $1,326.35, all of which is on its way to Studenica Monastery in Serbia. Thanks so much to everyone who picked up a brochure to find out more about Dave and his post-Milkmen pursuits and the charity he chose. Lots of people dropped in a dollar or two on their way past our table, and several people made larger donations. Dave would have been so pleased about this.

We handed out over 1000 brochures, and not one ended up on the floor or the street outside. Amazing!

Photos
I put together a simple web gallery of photos of the memorial shows taken by Milkmen friend Hugh Hamilton. These photos are from both nights and in no particular order, but I wanted to get them up here for all to see. If anyone has links to more photos from the shows – please email me the URL and I’ll add the link here.

There are some more photos of the Sunday November 21, 2004 show.

Lots of people chose not to be listed, and thanks go to them too. Every little bit counts.
