| About All of the Above |
Dear Friends:
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the demise of
The Salon @ Wilde Roast Café.
10/11 was our final show.
The Salon has been the one way I could "refill my pitcher" each week, to be able to continue pouring my love and energy into my heroic son as he fights his cancer. These Thursday nights have meant more to me than you can possibly imagine. A million times, thank you.
I have an intense desire continue to serve both artists and audiences by providing this weekly showcase, to broaden our horizons, connect with stimulating people, and strengthen community. Through live music, theatre, poetry, good manners, and intelligent discussion, we can share sincere and passionate ideas and a love of the arts. I am seeking a new venue immediately, so that we may continue this vital dialogue, through music and spoken word. If you have any leads, please contact henry@braincandyproject.org as soon as possible.
I am grateful to Scott Dercks, for sticking by me these last couple of years. You have been such a gift, my friend.
I am grateful to Steve Hegman for jumping into the Piano Bar Night with so much grace and talent, and for believing in me.
I am grateful to my weekly guests who kept coming and coming, week after week, to share your passion, culture and class with our audiences.
I am grateful to Tom DeGree & Dean Schlaak for their support this year, and encourage you all to keep patronizing Wilde Roast Café (www.wilderoastcafe.com).
And I am grateful to you, dear Friends, for your constant support, patronage and love over this past year. This has simultaneously been the best and worst year of my life,
as most of you know.
I will keep you updated as The Salon searches for its new home.
In Service,
Henry Allen

(To please and educate.)
Salons, at their best, have always been frontiers of social and cultural change. The Salon reintroduces this historic tradition, providing an opportunity to broaden our horizons, connect with stimulating people, and strengthen community. Through live music, theatre, poetry, good manners, and intelligent discussion, we will share sincere and passionate ideas and a love of the arts. Each week, Henry Allen will feature established performers, poets, and public figures, as well as emerging talents. "aut delectare aut prodesse est" (To please and educate.)

IN THE NEWS: CLICK HERE FOR A RECENT ARTICLE ABOUT YOUR HOST
HENRY ALLEN!
Dear Friends:
It was discovered on 11/27/06, through an MRI, that Henry Allen's son Cameron had a massive tumor (about the size of a large peach) in the middle of his brain, resting on his brain stem. Most of the tumor has since been removed, and the rest is being treated with chemotherapy & radiation. CLICK to go to CAMERON'S PLACE for updates, etc. Feel free to leave messages and ask questions in the guestbook there. We'll try to post answers and updates regularly. Cameron, himself, has been writing an amazing journal about his experience!
Financial gifts are needed to help support Cameron and Henry during this difficult time. The time and care required for Henry to serve Cameron's needs preclude his ability to work outside the home. Please go to PAYPAL and follow the prompts on the SEND MONEY page. Send To healthynoggin@aol.com Every contribution helps. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Checks can be mailed to:
Henry Allen
2614 Clinton Ave. S.
Minneapolis, MN 55408
PERFORMERS/ARTISTS & FRIENDS: If you are interested in participating in a fundraiser for Cameron & Henry, please leave a message for BEC SMITH on her MySpace page, and she will get back to you.
