| Here's some info on them: The members of BAND FROM TV donate 100% of their proceeds to charity (Epilepsy Foundation, Save the Children, Art of Elysium, Donate Life and CAPP). Led by "Heroes" star Greg Grunberg,"Desperate Housewives" star James Denton, "House" star Hugh Laurie, Cashmere Mafia star Bonnie Somerville and the original star of the "Bachelor" Bob Guiney. This celebrity ensemble really "rocks the Hizzy."

A promising fundraiser featuring a band of TV stars nearly became a financial nightmare for the Epilepsy Foundation of Southern Wisconsin. A concert by The Band from TV, which features moonlighting actors including Hugh Laurie of "House" and James Denton of "Desperate Housewives," was set for Alliant Energy Center on Saturday night. But due to "unexpectedly soft ticket sales," the Epilepsy Foundation cancelled the show Friday evening, narrowly missing being responsible for perhaps $50,000 in concert-related expenses without the revenue to cover them, foundation executive director Art Taggert said. ... |

| How unfortunate. Has this group been drawing good crowds elsewhere?

| There was a game on Saturday, but it was not in Madison. We were being mislead by the Events Coordinator as to the number of tickets sold. We will be having a board meeting after Thanksgiving and there are going to be some changes happening.

| Well, that's disappointing. Do you think the lack of sales was from lack of interest or lack of marketing the event?

| I think it was both and the fact that deer hunting opened that weekend. The events coordinator has resigned. We are now trying to pick up the pieces and recover our losses.
