Our Story:
Jessabelle Thunder, Chris Gomez , Jose Palos , & Miss Spent Youth are organizing this benefit to help the community of Altadena affected by the Eaton Fires. Jim Knell is a beloved member of the burlesque, vintage and swing dance scenes. He and so many other incredible members of this community have lost their homes. Though Jim was the original inspiration for this event, he has received an outpouring of support and wants to insure those without such a wonderful network also get the support they need. This event quickly grew beyond helping Jim or any single person as we identified community organizations with boots on the ground providing support to the Altadena community now and as we start to rebuild. Please come and support. We promise a good time, an amazing stage full of amazing talent, and a night to hug it out with friends. πŸ«ΆπŸ½
Sincerely
Jess, Chris, Jose & MSY
