I know that it will be an amazing evening and I want people to come prepared with their favorite Patrick Kenney story. Or simply words about how he stood out in your life. Yes, there will be a microphone. We will need one as I'm expecting a large crowd of PK friends and family. (It will be a private function.) We will also be having an auction for some of his beautifully framed prints, as well as small photo books of his work available for purchase. All money raised will be donated to APLA in Patrick Kenney's name.

I am currently working to see if I can get some sort of company donation matching either from MY employer, Dreamworks Animation, or both PK's and my previous employer, Electronic Arts. It's a long shot - but it's for a cause that Patrick believed in, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

If you've already donated to APLA - THANK YOU. If you haven't yet but are going to help out, I ask you to hold off until I find out the best way to channel the funds. I know that Patrick was always about making the most out of his money - and I intend to honor that tradition!

Thanks to everyone that has posted - and to those many people who have sent me separate emails as well. It's not surprising that there's so much love in the room for PK ... it's an overwhelming confirmation of what we already knew.

Until tomorrow...
Matt

What sad and shocking news. Patrick and I were good friends in high school and through much of our college years. I have many great memories of times we shared. He and I entered a teen talent contest on Long Island (we didn't win!). His house was the first place I drove to when I got my license. We used to laugh so hard together that we'd almost make ourselves sick. The last time I saw him was many years ago when I visited him in California. I was just thinking about old high school friends and decided to Google his name. What a terrible surprise to read of this accident that happened last year. My sympathy goes out to all his family and friends. I wish I hadn't lost touch with him for so long, but I'm glad for all the great memories I have. He was a kind and wonderful person.

Oh Pattypoo,

I saw that Deborah Gibson is at the Wiltern - I know that you would have been there and loving every minute of it. She'll probably use your pictures and not give you credit!Missing you, my friend.
