TIME: 5pm-1am As recently reported by JR Nelson and Jessica Hopper in Gossip Wolf, on May 30th our friend Eric “Ringo” Ringbloom -- who helped run Co-Prosperity Sphere and Buddy and about a million other things (but now lives in New Orleans, rebuilding homes) -- was shot at ten times in his own front yard. Ringo dodged nine bullets but took one in the ass, straight through his abdomen – he’s healing, and is back at home with his wife Mandy, but there is a long rehabilitation ahead. To help get Ringo back on his feet, the Co-Prosperity Sphere is throwing a party – RINGO FEST! It starts with a BBQ at 5p, an art auction at 7p, live music and live music and dancing at 9p. Bands include SAFEWORD (Hunter, Josh, Jamie) and Beast (Thad Kellstadt, Tim Nickodemus, Ben Russell), and then Hunter Husar and Rand Sevilla will DJ. Plus: beer, tote bags, donations at the door, and (whoa!) an Alf piñata. And all night long, you can video chat with Ringo for $4.99 a minute – all proceeds to help pay our friend’s medical bills. Come have a rad summertime time with friends and music and art and beer, and come help our friend heal up right, with love. Eric we love you! $ sliding admission after 9pm.. /// And if you can’t make the fest but want to paypal Ringo some help in the form of cash, email eric.ringbloom@gmail.com. Thank you!
