There is going to be an impromptu vigil on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and San Vicente (in West Hollywood) tomorrow (Sunday the 8th) around 7:30pm. Please come to show your respect for Ferd, and to remind folks that people still do die of AIDS. I don’t have too many details, as there really aren’t any yet. I think it’s going to be a very “whatever happens, happens” sort of thing. So please circulate this today and tomorrow.
