To those of you who live in Philly, our friend Sabina, who had worked the door for Philadelphyinz many a night and was a consistent, sweet and cheerful presence in the nightlife scene for many years, was senselessly and brutally murdered two days ago in Northern Liberties. The details should be well known, it’s been on the front page of the papers.

We’re deeply saddened and upset by this awful event and we will be donating portions of the door and bar from our night at Silk City this Friday to her memorial fund.

You can donate personally to the fund, which as I understand goes towards funeral expenses and a reward for the apprehension of her reprehensible sicko of a murderer. You can do that by going to the following page, set up by the people at PYT, where she worked as a hostess and server.

There are also events tonight at Silk and Kung Fu Necktie where proceeds go to the fund, and tomorrow with us at Silk, at elsewhere at PYT, Octo and at the Barbary.

I don’t really have anything particularly eloquent to say other than that I’m really saddened, disturbed and disgusted by this whole event and hopefully somehow the world becomes a better place because of the outpouring of support that we’ve seen since this tragedy.
