Hello, it's Logan's sister again. In a little over a week, some great people are putting on a memorial celebration here in Petaluma for everyone. They've written up this description of it and everyone is invited! Please read:
---------------------------------------------
Logan Whitehurst Memorial Party : February 10th : Phoenix Theater : Petaluma : Free Admission
That's right - Logan is getting his very own party at the Phoenix Theater on February 10th, and you're invited to come along and celebrate in his amazing life. Meant as a way to fully enshrine the brilliant genius that is Logan Whitehurst, the night will include
photos, artwork, storytelling, and of course, music.
What's more, you - yes, you! - are encouraged to take part in the evening by performing some songs from Logan's vast repertoire. There will be a lot of musical equipment on the Phoenix stage for everyone to use (drums, guitar, bass, piano,
accordion, and more). If you learn a song to perform and sing, but you haven't
arranged any auxillary accompaniment, you will probably be able to talk someone into
backing you up, at least on drums.
Now's the fun part: what song will you perform in homage to Logan? Here's some of his songs that are already in the lineup and spoken for:
Schweepies
My Name Is Matlock
I Want To Live On The Moon
Goodbye, My 4-Track
What It's Like In Japan
What I Did (To The Cat)
We Are Fire Ants
I Want To Rock
Me & The Snowman
The Villain Who Wears No Pants
Spherical Dice
Lemmings Will Do Whatever
A Special Gift To You
Gentoo Penguins
Monkeys Are Bad People
Underwater Basket Weaving
Bryan Fernando Is Awesome
As you can see, it's heavy on the Very Tiny Songs. His older material is criminally under-represented at this point, and that's where you come in. Keep in mind that you could write your own song about Logan, too.
In related news, Dr. Demento is coming to be a part of the festivities, but we're not sure what he has planned yet.
Obviously this won't just be a musical performance - people are free to tell stories about Logan, revel in fond memories, do an interpretive dance of his various hairdos, or generally share his awesomeness in any form. The crazy thing is that it will probably be pretty fun, despite the unfortunate circumstances. But how could it not be
fun? It's Logan, for crying out loud.
If you'd like to perform any songs, or if you have any questions about
how you can be involved, please write to josh@pandacide.com, or send a message to
Pandacide.
Thanks, and hopefully you can make it. Vanilla will be glad to see you.
--Friends of Logan

I think I'm going to make some of Logan's favorite cookies for the event -- chocolate with peanut butter chips!
