Out & Equal blog has details on a benefit tonight for Martha Manning, the co-owner of the Wildrose bar on Capitol Hill. Manning apparently went through a horrific ordeal last week. She was filling up her gas tank at the 76 station at Broadway and Roy when another car crashed into a gas pump. The pump caught fire, sending flames and hot metal right at Manning and leaving her with second- and third-degree burns. Tonight's fundraiser, which includes an auction and live music, starts at 8 p.m. at Chop Suey.
Wishing you all the best, Martha. Please have a speedy recovery.
