“Beautiful More So”

WillowRaine — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:44:46 +0000

“I’ve been so tired these days
with loggin’ late night sessions
So uninspired these days
I hardly even try to write my own progressions”

Spencer Bell had a way with words. You only have to listen to a few of his songs before that realization grips you to your very core.
Often his words were blunt, and straight to the point without coddling and that my friends, is in fact something that has drawn me out of a darkened corner more than once.
If you don’t possess any of his music, or knowledge of who he is, please go to The Music Lives On and prepare to be lost in a vortex of talent and emotion.
That being said, I’ve been away for approximately two weeks, and when I returned home, in my email I found the link to a video (Courtesy of Bill Bell – Spencer’s father and Debbie and Shannon of ASCC NOW) that Jackson Rathbone and Will Schmidt have put together, in honor of The Legacy Show in Dallas, Texas on April 24th, 2010…

The vision in the video, and of those closest to Spencer, never ceases to amaze me.
I didn’t know Spencer in life, but I am thankful that I was given the chance to know him, if only posthumously, thankful to those closest to him, who share his memory, with someone, so many someones that used to be strangers, who are now treated as family and friends.
It is because of my respect for his family,friends, his legacy, because of the celebration of his life,and of the talent that has inspired and touched so many in this small, small world, that I will continue to be adamant and passionate in my modest dedications to Spencer.
That being said…

Let the countdown commence!

Thirty Three horribly long days left until the Spencer Bell Legacy show at Trees in Dallas, Texas!
Now, I know I’ve written several posts about this, and as the time inches nearer, as my excitement increases, there will be even more to look forward to.
I’ve informed you of the contests that ASCC NOW is hosting to raise money and awareness for Adrenal Cancer Research, you should have a look at their site and check it out for yourself!

I hope to see you there, because believe me, in the words of Ben Graupner “We’re Gonna Party!” There is no better way to Celebrate the life and Legacy of Spencer Bell, in my humble opinion.

74 Days Until The Spencer Bell Legacy Show!

Where are my fellow Spencerians? (Or The Stevedores,100 Monkeys,Drew and The Medicinal Pen, Tin Tin Can,Kissing Club, and Evro Fans?) I’m doing a countdown to the Legacy Show for April!
I started my first post when it was 110 days, my second one came at 90 days and now it is 74 days. It STILL seems far too long to wait to see my “new” friends, to celebrate Spencer’s life, to help raise awareness for Adrenal Cancer.
If you find yourself reading this and you have no idea who Spencer is, or why you keep hearing about him, then inform yourself at: THE MUSIC LIVES ON!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE THE NEWEST ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT SHOULD EXCITE THE MASSES! PASSED ALONG TO ME BY DEBBIE!

#1-
Exciting news for 100Monkeys fans!! They will be playing at Poor
David’s Pub in Dallas on Friday night before the SBL concert. During
Twicon, the boys played there and it was just fun for both the audience
and them.

Show is on April 23rd. Doors open at 8, show at 9pm. Tickets are $14 and
are on sale now. Front gate tickets is the site to purchase tickets.
BUY TIX HERE!

#2- Another exciting bit of news. I don’t know how many people were working
on contacting college radio stations to have them play Spencer Bell and
100Monkeys music, but we have one who posted at chatter (official
100Monkeys music site). Here is what she posted:
Have a hard time waking up in the morning?

Wish 100 Monkeys and Spencer Bell got more radio play??

Tune in Wednesday mornings with me @ wsinradio.org
and listen to my college radio show temporarily entitled : “Wake up with
me”

I will be incorporating both Spencer and The Monkeys into my play list
every week and will play them on air.

I even take requests.

I’ll play other stuff too, and give you a bit of news/weather etc.

Nothing but music and love here!!!!

the show is 9-10 Wednesdays eastern standard time. But this website
streams all over the world so anyone who is awake feel free to tune
in!

#3- Finally, Portrait magazine is having a poll for their March cover and
100Monkeys is on the list. The right hand side of the site,Portrait Magazine has the place to vote. Only one vote per IP address though.

THANK YOU DEBBIE, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE AT KEEPING US ALL POSTED!

Now, I’m going to post the original play by play of what all is going on to get you guys hands on involved, with some newly added information and a contest via the ASCC NOW organization! So don’t just skim over it, re-read it, you’ll catch things you didn’t see before, I assure you!

The when,where,time?

April 24th, Dallas Texas, at a wonderful venue called Trees.
There will be two shows (as per tradition it seems)
An all ages show in the evening and an 18+ show that night.
Trust me, the bands still have plenty of energy for the night show!

It was at the night show that I spent, what, 4 hours or more dancing? And in uncomfortable boots, but I didn’t care! (That’s how wonderful these Legacy shows are, how infectious, and powerful the energy is that fills the atmosphere!)

For this show who do they have lined up? OH get ready!

Tin Tin Can
Drew and the Medicinal Pen
The Stevedores
100 Monkeys
PLUS
New comers to the Legacy Show line up!

Evro

AND

The Kissing Club

But that’s not all. I know what you’re thinking. There’s more? Of course they couldn’t stop there, are you kidding me? These people know how to party, it is for Spencer after all!

There will be contests ( a music video contest, a t-shirt design contest), a special auction, and a raffle with celebrity donated items.

Contest prizes

* The winner of the music video contest will have their video played for the duration of the concerts. (how wicked is that?)

*The winner of the t-shirt design contest will have their design produced and sold through the Spencer Bell Legacy Project. (That would be something to feel honored about!)

Now for the auction, this will floor you, and at the very least motivate you to donate to a good cause!
You have to opportunity to bid on:

* Interviewing the bands prior to the concerts on live streaming Internet

*dinner with the bands between the concerts

-OR-

* a meet and greet with all the bands in a special VIP area

The Raffle Items:

* a guitar signed by Bowling for Soup

* autographed pictures from Simple Plan

* a special designed t-shirt by Kelly Rathbone

* autographed portraits of the bands

Winners of the raffle do not have to be present to win and the tickets will go on pre-sale in February 2010 (so grab yours early!)

NEWLY ADDED CONTEST!!

The Mad Hatter Contest: You have a chance to design a hat for Cancer Awareness (I hear this may or may not have something to do with a certain primate’s love for “ridiculous” hats… a trait which I find both adorable and admirable… I mean come on when one doesn’t care what others think, and they embrace their individuality it’s refreshing)
However when you can do something so artistic and expressive for a good cause? YOU SHOULD DO IT! Details have been posted. See the information at the CONTEST PAGE!

Inspirational New Information:

Kelly Garrett Rathbone will be at the Deep Ellum Arts Festival on April 2-4, 2010 in Dallas, TX. She is creating a collection specifically for this festival and has generously
agreed to donate part of her profits to adrenal cancer research. Know more by clicking:
KELLY ROCKS!

(Kelly you truly are an inspiration and each of us should be so giving. Thank you on behalf of everyone, for being such an amazing soul.)

Where are my fellow Spencerians? (Or The Stevedores,100 Monkeys,Drew and The Medicinal Pen, Tin Tin Can,Kissing Club, and Evro Fans?) I’m doing a countdown to the Legacy Show for April!
I started my first post when it was 110 days, and now it’s exactly 90 days.
NINETY SHORT DAYS, although for me it seems far too long to wait to see my “new” friends, to celebrate Spencer’s life, to help raise awareness for Adrenal Cancer.
