Sep 22 2008 7:21 PM

Hey Adam,
Sorry for the delayed reaction - but I've been meaning to say since the show that you did a wonderful job orchestrating that whole event! We really enjoyed ourselves and felt great about the cause! All of the bands were awesome, and about your set, I just have to say I think Let's Make a Porn must have been my favorite. Those lyrics kick ass.
Please think of us any time in the future when you're saving the world in some way!! We'd be thrilled to help again! :-) xoxo Heather
