From the Monterey County Herald...
Arthur died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, Watt said, declining to give further details.
You will be missed! 
Saw them at the Paramount, a good sized venue but you still get a good view of the stage. We had front row balconey seats so that was cool. 
They played an all accoustic set of all their songs which included songs from Spinal Tap but also songs from the movie A Mighty Wind, a movie about the folk singing genre. They're fabulous! Their harmonies were outstanding and they're excellent musicians.
They played for about a full two hours and were able to take small breaks by occasionally playing videos. They played a clip from Spinal Tap's first ever video that appeared on a show called The Tv Show in 1977 and a funny psuedo-documentary about cheese which featured Ed Begley Jr and a wee Jake Gyllenhall.
There was even a little Stonehenge! 
Which was trod upon by trolls. 
There was the usual antipasto and salad and then we had ravioli in pesto and sliced pork loin with potatoes and veggies. They had ice cream sandwiches and Drumsticks for dessert and who doesn't love a Drumstick? We always get a chuckle out of having the children bring us more wine. Brings back memories of having to bring the adults more booze when I was a kid. (happy sigh)
Chuck and Debbie came with. 
Me and mah Honey 
We spotted this neat old-timey phone that's probably as old as most of the folks at the dinner. Jim said it worked but was very crackly, like most of the folks as the dinner. (I kid!)
Skins mah knee, Charlie, skins mah knee!
Tee hee hee
I hope Desmond's back soon! 
Sam Anderson who portrays Bernard. I feel a bit guilty, Sam came up and gave me a big hug thinking I was someone else. I apologized for not being who he thought I was but thanked him for the warm greeting. I must have really looked like this person because a couple of the creators said Hi and asked me how I was doing thinking I was this person as well. If I ever get to meet Desmond, I hope he knows this person and wants to her a big ol' hug. Oh please oh please! 
Sterling Beaumon, he plays young Ben. This kid was too adorable! He was having a good time basking in all the attention. He really made the whole evening fun. He gets extra points for selecting my raffle tickets.
Andrea Gabriel who plays Nadia.
(The photo is cropped because next to this skinny, young thing I looked like a sausage in a cocktail dress. )
On the left, Adetokumboh McCormack who plays Yemi and on the right, Sterling. Happy fan in the center. 
I won the autographed Hurley doll in the silent auction. I got Jack-jacked at the last second. Grrrr. 
My major awards. I won the photo as a door prize and won the two tees signed by Matthew Fox and Jorge Garcia in the raffle. 
Wicked!
Hate the shoes but love that dress and look at her work it.
And from the Gray Gardens premiere...
Love it!
We murdered the Pu Pu Platter! 
As the sun began to set over the Park St. bridge, we bid adieu to the tropical atmosphere and our cocktails (by finishing them) and headed over to Jeannette's to watch old vids and reminisce. A good time was had by all!
