Twin Cities Hurricane Katrina Benefit Shows

Pete Scholtes has been doing a terrific job these past couple weeks of posting thought-provoking images and reports about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on his blog, Complicated Fun. Pete also has the latest information on Twin Cities Area Benefits to help the people affected by this disaster, and to help the City of New Orleans rebuild.

The Star Tribune today also has a fairly comprehensive list of benefits that you can attend to help do your part.

The size of this mess is such that it really will take all of us to help start setting things right again. HowWasTheShow will do its best to get all these events posted on the Recommended Events Calendar as soon as possible. We will also be reporting from some of the shows, including Sunday's show at the Fine Line that features Leroy Smokes, New Congress, Skywynd, Fitzgerald, Romantica, Booka B and more. Proceeds go to the Red Cross. (6 p.m. Sun., Fine Line Music Café, 318 1st Av. N., Mpls. 18 & older.)

Visit the Red Cross Website and donate today. (The online site can accept donations of as little as $5, and every bit helps.)
