Tip Jar Event at Molly's at the Market on Decatur Street

We had some friends put this together. Thank to everyone!

Come tip your favorite bartender! A fundraiser in honor of Colin Brown.

Molly's At The Market
1107 Decatur Street
New Orleans, LA

More Info
Come out, Friday, April 15 from 6-10 p.m. to Molly's at the Market. We'll be serving Mr. Nick's original 1-800 cocktail (or something close) for the benefit of Kelly, Lucy, and Elliot. Don't drink 1-800s? Purchase a koozie or cup in Colin's honor, with all proceeds going to the "Tip Jar."

Rumor has it that drinks will be served by a certain guest bartender from Nick's who claims to have taught Kate everything she knows.

Please "share" this event and spread the word.

(Benefit 6 till 10pm, but donations are welcome all evening, so come when you can).

A Celebration in Video of Colin Brown

Thank you to everyone who shared in celebrating Colin Brown's beautiful life on Sunday evening.  The main message I heard throughout the night was that Colin had changed someone's life.  He just had that effect on people.  Once you met him, you knew that he was special.  For those of you who could not be at the tribute, we wanted to share the video that was presented at the memorial. 

Colin was so very creative, talented and inspired (by everything and everyone around him). It is such a unique talent to be able to put to music everything that you feel and experience. His wife and children being his greatest inspiration. This is very evident in his lyrics.  You are able to hear him sing his music on this tribute.  He is truly missed.

Colin Brown

It is with deep sadness and devastation that I post tonight. This evening, (April 1), we lost a father, a husband, a brother and a friend to so many. Please say a prayer for Kelly and the kids this evening.

One of Colin's favorite songs
The Flaming Lips

You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do you Realize

Friday morning update

Your thoughts and prayers are needed today for Colin. Thank you for continuing to keep vigil. Notes to careforcolin@gmail.com are being sent to Kelly. I am in New Orleans with Kelly and I know she appreciates all of you as do I. Rita

Thursday Evening Update

I am going to be very brief this evening.  Colin is having a lot of difficulties and remains on support today.  Please keep Colin and the family in your prayers.
