Here’s word from Buttercup’s Cassandra Cossitt about a unique rock ‘n’ roll show coming up later this month. It’s a live music throwdown to remember longtime Fan District resident Chris Gibson (pictured above with her husband Tom Applegate), who died last December. It’s a fitting memorial for her, because it’s being held in a bar that features live music.

 

The performers include: Buttercup; Jonathan (the Juggler) Austin; The Deviltones; and of course – BEEX, live on-stage, and on-screen!

 

What: Christine Gibson Memorial Concert

When: Friday July 25, 2008, 7 p.m.

Where: Canal Club’s Downstairs Lounge, 1545 Cary St.

Admission: $5.00 — all ages

 

To write this post, I just put on my black Beex T-shirt that I got at the Hollywood Cemetery memorial service (12/14/07) for Chris. I suspect there will be a lot of them on the people who show up to remember Richmond’s undisputed queen of punk rock.
