Soho, Manhattan: Soho Grand Club Room (310 W. Broadway) - Memorial Benefit for Kate Blake with all-star lineup, 7-10pm, $25 min Kate Blake, niece of April March, and friend to many (not to mention actress, model, artist, etc) tragically passed away Friday after heroic struggle with recovering not only from a pedestrian accident that left her in a minimally responsive state for six months but also a murder attempt as well. While this night was initially set up months ago as a benefit for her medical expenses to help get her on her feet, it is sadly now a memorial that will go towards helping take care her family's enormous expenses. If you can't make it, go to http://theeducationfund.info/ to learn more about Kate and contribute. A very good cause to say the least.
