Bonni Suval is a musician from the New York band Fear of Dolls who got run over by an (allegedly) drunk driver on Feb 9 in a hit-and-run while crossing Pike St after finishing a show at Neumo's earlier in the evening. The link is for a benefit show being held at Neumo's, one of a series being held to raise money to help cover her medical expenses.
Some people have medical insurance. Musicians, for the most part, have benefit concerts. Concerts generally don't provide nearly as much coverage as most health plans, but then again most plans don't allow for beer drinking and dancing. So I guess there's advantages to both approaches.
There's also a Paypal link on the page if you aren't the concert-going type. The full story from the P.I. is here, and includes the number of the Washington Mutual account set up to receive donations. Thanks to Josh for the heads-up.
