Re: Tribute to Walter/Edwin Hawkins
Barb, I decided not to go. It turned into total chaos.
The Hawkins couldn't find a place big enough to hold it.
The places that were big enough were booked.
The Oracle arena wouldn't rent the indoor coliseum because the Oakland As were playing and they wont rent it out when they're playing due to parking.
People were lined up for blocks trying to get in. they slept in sleeping bags, tents over night. Police were everywhere. It was a mess.
Like you said, the tribute will be re-broadcast this weekend (also on BET).
AND!!! The funeral will be webcast live today at 11AM!!!!
Let me know if you or anyone is interested in the link!
