Please support a badly injured songfight contestant

Post by greggb »

Hopefully it's ok that I post in this forum. I wanted as many people as possible to see this, and I figure it's for a good cause. Joey Hodgson from "The Lookouts" (singer and lead guitarist) was in a motorcycle wreck a few days ago. He's stable now but was left with a number of broken bones, including his guitar playing hand. He loves playing and won't be able to now for quite a while. He's probably going to need to get surgery on his hand. He's not going to be able to work or do much of anything for at least a number of months.

Things are probably seeming pretty grim about now for him, and I thought it be nice if anyone had any encouraging comments to either post here, or on his facebook page, which is:
--I can't post a URL here, so you'll have to do a search on facebook for "Joey Michael Hodgson".

Facebook would be preferable, if you don't mind. But again, comments here would be very welcome, too.

Joey and I live a few hours apart, and I recently became friends with him and his wife, which is why I'm posting here on behalf of him.

Thanks!
Gregg

Why not?

So...people that don't know him say "get better soon" will make him feel better? Where's the catch? Is his facebook page where the "donate now" button is?

Anyway, I don't have facebook and aside from all my suspiciousness, I hope he gets better soon. :P

Gregg, I'm sorry to hear about that. PM me the Facebook URL and I'll insert it into your post (new posters can't post links until they've been around for a while, as an anti-spam measure).

Also, I've moved the topic. I'm not sure if "concerts and events" is any more appropriate but at least it's less-inappropriate than the review section.

I said sorry. Isn't that the internationally accepted method for an apology? :P

Honestly, I didn't know Gregg was a member and because he posted in the review section and just joined, I thought he just randomly came here to get people to join a facebook page. We get a lot of that. Honestly I thought it was some sort of hybrid spam. The interwebz have turned me into a suspicious foil hat wearing pervert.
So stop being mean and making me feel bad. Because that makes you no better than me. :D

....fine, where's the donate button. 8-)
