What a great show we had on June 9, at Steven's Steakhouse !, Benefitting two East Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff's, who were involved in a gun battle, they survived, killed the suspect, but one deputy lost an eye.  Ticket sales were slow to start, we were a little worried, we paid for excellent talent.  We had KLOS famed DJ, Frazer Smith as our MC, and our Headliner was Mike Marino.  No pay wanted by me, I was honored to perform for my fellow officers, and those who support us.  Slowly as we got closer to the date, we started selling tables.  All of the Sheriff's Department UNIONS came through.  They all wrote donation checks, in support of LA Deputy Sheriff's.  I still was a little concerned because I had told Jim from Steven's I would have 300.  So he reserved the big room, and through in his own DJ.  As usual with these events, we had a big push the last week.  I didn't anticipate a rush at the door of over 75 tickets sold!.  It was a sell out in the end.  We had seating for 340, and ended up with 362.  Standing room only at the back.  What a great night.  Thanks to all who supported, gave, and attended !
