Repost of message from Aaron Jarvis tonight:

Heya, kids –

First off, super-huge thanks to all of ya for yer concern and help in the wake of Brian’s smashup. I ain’t gonna lie to ya, it’s been one brutal fucking week, and our good moments are all relative at best. The good news: Brian hasn’t gotten specifically any worse since Monday morning, and indeed, was upgraded by the slightest point on the Glasgow Coma Scale to a “5” today. This is still incredibly bad, and the prognosis is still not good by a long shot; but at this point, we’re seizing on any development even remotely good – or at least, any development not specifically worse. It’s the only way we can even begin to cope.

Anyway, if you haven’t already, please swing on by to what Katie describes as the “cyber prayer wall” for Brian, where you can share thoughts, wishes, and memories (and see photos of hairlines long since forgotten), and, if you’re able, you can donate much-needed cash to Brian’s expenses securely via PayPal.

There’s a slew of fundraisers in the offing as well, namely this Tuesday at Taste in College Park (717 W. Smith St, Orlando, FL 32804 – just west of Edgewater Drive; usedta be the ol’ Chapters). This starts around 10, I’m told, and is gonna boast a whole slew o’ local noisemakers, including Eugene & Chodorcoff of the JC’s, Terri Binion, and like it or not, The Mondellos and the Delusionaires, with Winthrop Fist subbing for Brian in the skinster seat (in his official Understudy role as pre-approved by Brian way back when – some of ya saw this configuration at Hukilau a few years back). Yeah, I know I swore I’d never play this burg again after the way y’all blew off the Crucials show a coupla months ago, but duty calls a lot louder than my own spite…

Anyway, please please please make it out, show yer support for this kickin’est of cats, and if you can spare a dime or a prayer, please send either Brian’s way. A world without Cannonball is not one worth livin’ in…

Seeya!
