The Aftermath
The two-night sold out event “Death Blues (no time like the present)” took place this past weekend, November 16 and 17, 2012, as part of Alverno Presents at Alverno College. It was an intense and emotionally charged event for many involved, and the aim of creating an experience for all present was achieved. Also achieved was a sense of uncertainty and personal focus, as evidenced by some reviews of the event:
Eternal thanks for all those who worked so hard to make it happen, and to those who traveled near and far to share the experience.
