HIP HOP MEMORIAM: By now, you have probably heard how David Sale was brutally beaten and killed by three men during a brawl over spilled beer.

Come out and enjoy drinks, live music and fun all while supporting a good cause.
THE PERFECT CRIME: Based on the incredible true story, "Never the Sinner: The Leopold and Loeb Story" tells the story of two men who thought themselves smart enough to commit the perfect murder.
