Elephant Listening Project (ELP) is a power pop/rock band from Marin County consisting of songwriter Erik Smyth (lead vocal/guitar) Loring Jones (drums) Steven Winter (bass) and Danny Uzi (lead guitar). The music is guitar driven and melodic with well-crafted songs as its core. Members of the group have played in The Mo’fessionals, The Coup, Montrose, and Chrome Johnson among others. This supergroup is known for their musical mastery and their experience is always evident in their live performances.
In the early morning hours of August 19th, 2012 Smyth and Uzi were severely injured returning to San Anselmo after a show in Cotati when they were hit head on by a driver speeding the wrong way on Highway 101.
The March 1st Sweetwater show signifies the band’s triumphant return to the big stage and miraculous physical recovery. With the aid and resources of friends, family and the Bay Area music community, Smyth and Uzi healed and recovered and remain dedicated to making music despite the lasting effects of the accident.
The event includes a silent auction of valuable services and collectible items donated to ELP in the wake of their devastating post-gig car accident last summer.
The generosity of the Bay Area music community cannot be overstated and collections organized to support Smyth and Uzi generated an amazing assortment of items available for bid at the Sweetwater performance in March. Auction items include private performances by popular local bands and collectibles including autographed memorabilia from Lynyrd Skynrd, Metallica, Stanley Mouse and Santana.

I guess I can't hit the enter button because that submits the post so from now on (until they fix…Read More the problem), all of my posts will be one paragraph. What Angelina did was her choice, based on the multi-billion dollar per cancer industry, and by the people that like do unnecessary surgeries to line their pockets. Ask one of those male doctors if he is willing to have his testicles removed "just in case" he might get testicular cancer in the future. I'll bet that they would laugh at anyone who proposed that question. There are many ways that people can take care of their bodies to prevent cancer, like taking vitamin D, magnesium, selenium, turmeric and many more anti-inflammatory herbs. Also diet and environmental factors play a role in the pre-disposition to get cancer. In most cases, genes only play about a 5% role in a chance of inheriting or contracting cancer. But this big business of cancer research doesn't want hear about anything else besides expensive pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, anything else would threaten their business model. This post is a test of the new Patch commenting system.

Yes, and she also announced that she is considering having her ovaries removed also.

Thanks Jim W. for your reply and explaining things to us.
I look forward to a new Patch where people…Read More are more considerate of other's opinions. I hope the new filters get rid of the hacker/trolls.
And by the way, if you don't port over the comments about the transgender shower sharing article that I glanced at last night, you will be doing all of us a favor !

Thanks Rico. You make great points. We had a bit of a tech glitch in that some content from earlier…Read More this week did not migrate over yet to the new sites - but it'll all be there soon. And yes, we'll have more info on how to navigate the site. I'll direct you here with any specific questions for now:

But if that doesn't cover it or if you'd prefer to ask me, feel free - happy to help. And that goes for anyone out there with a question about how to get around on the new site.
