Fab Faux
10.18.11
Looking for something fantastic to do on Saturday night? This could be one of the best nights of your life, you can attend the Fab Faux concert at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
Hailed as “The World’s Greatest Beatles Tribute Band," the Fab Faux will be performing “The White Album” in its entirety. And don’t worry about driving to Los Angeles, you can take a roundtrip bus ride from Laguna Beach for a much-needed cause.
The bus, called Brita’s Bus Trip, is raising funds for Brita Corradini, 31, a mother of a 13-month-old girl who was diagnosed with stage two-breast cancer while six months pregnant with her second child. She’s now eight months pregnant and fighting cancer.
Brita's Bus Trip works like this: just pay $60 for a ticket to see the Fab Faux perform, enjoy a comfortable ride to the theater on a bus with a bathroom, and you’ll have a safe trip home after the show. And all proceeds go to Brita’s fight against cancer. The bus will leave Hennessey's at 213 Ocean Avenue in Laguna Beach at 6 p.m., and return at approximately midnight after the show. You can purchase your ticket by clicking the add to cart button here.
