  3. Yeah, 15% seems awfully stingy. 50% of sales would be more agreeable while still giving the bar a reasonable return. It's a benefit, not a promotion. Bar should step up to the plate.

  5. Okay-
    The benefit has a $5 donation to get in, as well as a bucket that will be going around during the acts. 100% of that is going to Ray.
    Sidewalk is donating their space, and their employees, 15% is what they can afford of the food sales. If you guys think it should be more, feel free to donate more, it'd really help out.
