If anyone has music that they associate with Rick (and there should be a LOT of that, with a lot of us). Please let us know! We are building a Spotify playlist that anyone who requests, will have access to. So throw us a song or several, and we will add it to the list!

Event ProgramGreetings all--
Life without Rick is something we will all be reckoning with from here on out. So please let's come together, to celebrate who he was, and what he means to us. We will be gathering on what should have been his 61st birthday, so there will be cake!
We invite you to join us for an open house, 4pm to 9pm, at the lovely East Side Club, right on Lake Monona. The details may shift, but will mostly look like this:
4-5pm reception
5-6pm program with remembrances and gratitude. Expect tears and expect laughter.
6-9pm birthday celebration with cake and open mic. We hope you will share your memories and jokes and appreciation of our Rick!
Beer and wine and soft drinks will be provided, and open bar available. Delicious food, TBD but also provided. Toasting, and feasting, is important.
Weather depending, the Tiki Bar outside near the water will be open as well, and the East Side club has a band scheduled, so the mood should be high. Rick would enjoy it!
Attending for a small chunk of time is totally ok, and staying for the whole dang thing is fine too.
We'd love for you to join us, and if you are able to attend, please let us know. If you are not able, just celebrate Rick by raising a glass, listening to music, cheering your teams (better yet, HIS teams!) Go Pack. Laugh with your loved ones (overused? but is it?) particularly after a very quick joke or comeback. As often as possible! Think of Rick, wish him smooth passage. And thank you thank you thank you, for being a part of his life.
