For the Love of Candye: A Benefit for Candye Kane on July 23, 2008

Next week, there will be a benefit for Candye Kane at the El Rio in SF. She has recently undergone surgery to remove a Carcinoid tumor, so the funds raised by the benefit will help to pay for her substantial medical bills. Being an artist, she doesn't have health insurance. Here are all the details for the benefit:
