Martinis on the Roof
Sad news came last night that Sean Silver, a regular contributor to the Superchunk message board, passed away this weekend. Sean recently organized the upcoming Eff Cancer Benefit at Chicago’s Metro on June 20, featuring his and very possibly our favorite band, Superchunk, to raise funds to fight Chordoma, a rare form of cancer with which Sean was diagnosed four years ago.
While we never had the pleasure of meeting Sean, he was part of a small, but extremely loyal group of Chunk fans who would fly to Maxwell’s, SXSW, Chapel Hill, wherever necessary to see what in our opinion is the greatest live band of the past two decades. If you happen to live in Chicago or nearby, please buy a ticket or make a donation. Thanks.
I really appreciate Ms. Frizzle’s thoughts; I wish that we had her school’s culture of collegiality in our California junior high school.,
