freak accident
is this the same place as the Funk box under another name?
Hey folks,I\'m sorry to have to post the bad news, esp. after reading King\'s lastpost (we were all psyched for the weekend), but we are regretfullycancelling our party.Why? Cause Trace had an accident on Saturday, and may need to stay inSC for surgery next week.She\'s OK, but here\'s the story. It involves a water slide and a dog.Usually Jason & Jennie set up a slip & slide down the hill of the backyard into the pond. This year they got an extra cool version with abig blow-up ramp,water sprays, etc. This was set up on the hill withabout 50 ft of plastic sheeting below to send a slider on a float intothe pond. It was pretty awesome. Several folks made it in safelybefore and after the event. Trace\'s run looked good as she slidtowards the pond. At the last minute a chocolate lab stepped in theway and they collided heads at full speed. The dog was fine, Trace wasnot quite as lucky.She lacerated her eyelid about 2 inches across and fractured bones inher eye orbital and sinus. She had 6 stitches in her eyelid Saturdaynight at the ER in Augusta, GA. The plastic surgeon yesterday said sheactually had 4 or 5 fractures (not 2 as we beleived Sat night). Hewants to remove stitches Friday and assess her condition after someswelling has gone down (he gave her prednisone to help). Until then wewon\'t know if any sursery is necessary. If it is, that will be onTuesday in Columbia.So, Trace will be in SC this weekend. She said we could have the partyw/o her, but that just doesn\'t seem right. I\'m flying back down thisweekend and staying through until our closing next Thursday.

damn. wish i could make it to the funk box (8x10)... it\'s definitely one of my favorite small venues to check out the band.
check out the green room area while you\'re there! also, try to find street parking rather than the garage, there\'s definitely a lot around if you hunt for it.
