Love Lee?

After building a website, printing 8 million stickers, making business cards, and making a bunch of iron on T-shirts, I think it’s safe to say that I certainly do not love Lee. At this point, I hate Lee, in fact, I may just spit on Lee’s shoes when I see him. Ok, really all this hostility stems from Gunita’s amazing ability to force me into doing things I don’t necessarily want to do, like help people. When Gunita told me that she wanted to bring Lee Burridge to Mezzanine quite sometime ago, I said fine, as long as you put me on the guest list. But because it is her first party I offered to help. Little did I know that I would be wearing a bandana singing “swing low, sweet chariot” working in Gunita’s sweatshop all the live long day.

In reality, a world I try to steer clear of, I’m very excited that Lee Burridge is coming to town. I’m more excited that Gunita is finally working toward something she really loves. But what I’m most excited about is that Gunita might actually make some money on this event. Over the two short years that I have known her, I have watched her selflessly, and shamelessly promote party after party without ever making a dime. She’s on every person’s guest list in San Francisco, by her own force and persistence, which has served me well on numerous occasions, but she has never profited from her promotions. She sends out a weekly e-mail to hundreds of people who rely on her and refer to her as the most influential person in San Francisco. Wait, that’s how she refers to herself.

I think it’s only fair that we take this time to support someone that has supported so many of us without ever asking for any bit of reciprocity. So I’m asking it for her.

Don’t forget to purchase your ticket for LOVE LEE live from MEZZANINE, September 23, 2005. This is not an event to miss. And if you’re lucky, you’ll run into Gunita who will most likely yell at you for eating fast food because when you are older it might give you a heart attack.

You can buy your tickets by visiting www.listedsf.com and clicking on the link that says buy tickets. It’s really that easy!

Oh, and I'll be there too.

See you at Mezzanine Friday the 23rd!
