Write-Aid benefit to be held May 24

The cause is just, the venue somewhat baroque and the price reasonable, plus the music is by 3-Chord Johnny, the house band of the magazine industry (John Macfarlane, David Hayes, David Macfarlane etc.) It's all in support of Write-Aid, to raise funds for the defence of Derek Finkle (late, editor of Toro) in his fight against a subpoena ordering him to turn over the research materials for his book, No Claim to Mercy, to the police.

May 24 (doors open at 7:30 pm) at Stones Place, 1255 Queen St. West, music by 3 Chord Johnny, DJ Dave Morris (Eye Weekly's music editor), and friends. You could bid in a live auction on one of three packages - Living Large, Writer's Starter Kit, and East Side Spree
