Word came in today from multiple sources in the New York comedy community, and I'm passing it along to you:
Comedian Joe Powers survived a serious accident this weekend and is currently at Bellevue Hospital in stable but very serious condition in the intensive care unit. While the injuries he sustained are serious, he is doing well. if anyone wants to pay a visit many comedians will be there this Tuesday ( any other day is fine as well). His family has greatly appreciated the outpouring of support and his doctors think that continued stimulation will only speed his recovery. He is at Bellevue Hospital (27th and 1st Ave) -H building - 10th floor -Surgical ICU . Visiting hours are pretty much unlimited.
I've known Joe since we were kids. I still live here in Oregon and word got out that this serious accident happened. Please give Joe a message that Molly Ochs from grade school sends her prayers to him.
