[Phat Man Dee]

Hey, hey, hey! My phantasmagorical phat-o-licious phan base and super phriends!

I hope this letter of intent meets you well. I intend to do much as I have done before, which is sing, and hope you listen. By your reading of this letter, you indirectly agree you shall listen, and hopefully I will sing.

Now we have all the legal bases covered, upcoming show listings for Phat Man Dee and friends!

Tomorrow night, June 18, 2011

I'm deeply honored to be included in a show opening for Rusted Root. I will be accompanied by Colter Harper, Miguel Sague III & special guests. Also performing are Bill Deasy, Lightening Box and Drowning Clowns. Mr. Smalls will host the “My Heart Will Go On” benefit, an evening of music and artistry to honor the name and legacy of Reeva Alexis Kelly, a 12 year old angel who recently passed away. All proceeds will benefit The Reeva Charitable Fund, the goal of which is to empower the child suffering from Crohn’s and Colitis, and The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America.
About The Reeva Charitable Fund: “Our beloved Reeva Alexis Kelly passed away on November 15, 2010, at the age of 12 after a two year struggle with Crohn’s Disease. The Reeva Charitable Fund is dedicated to easing the struggle of children who suffer from Crohn’s Disease. Donations will help such young people take part in joyous activities consonant with Reeva’s many interests such as dance, theatre, photography and music. Funds will also serve to promote Crohn’s Disease awareness among educators and peers to help ease the day-to- day life of children who live with this disease.”  -The Berlin Family
“My niece Reeva was a beautiful and amazingly talented girl who was taken from us far too soon. Her mother (my sister) Katie and the rest of our family feel that the least we can do to honor her memory is to try and create opportunities for children like her to live a more beautiful life.” –Liz Berlin (Rusted Root, Drowning Clowns, Mr. Smalls, Creative.Life.Support)
