The benefit show, that reunited Ghoti Hook and the Huntingtons for a night, did very well. It raised $5,000 for the Huntingtons original drummer's wife who is battling brain cancer. I had a chance to talk to Mike Pierce at the show and he was telling me how difficult this is for them.
He posted this on the Decap message board
I just wanted to thank everyone who came to the show. It was great to see old friends. I want to thank the guys in Ghoti Hook it really meant a lot to me that you guys played. And also to 274 and Speedy Delivery and MLR. And especially to Mike Cliff and Josh. And Conrad it was great seeing you and talking with you. I always really looked up to you for being so strong in your faith. And you helped out the Huntingtons a lot letting us play your stage at Cornerstone. But once again thanks you to everyone that came to the show. With out the fans these band would be nothing. Weather you where a Huntingtons fan or a Ghoti Hook fan it didn't matter. It was a great time of music and fun in a dark time in my life.
Thank You
Mike
