Saw a bunch of helicopters flying sort of near my house Tuesday night and wondered what it was - apparently they were news crews covering a fire that displaced 12 families living in Plano.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Picnic of the group PPT lost his home and studio in that fire. From an email from Idol Records:
It was a total loss of everything including his studio and recording archives. As most of you know, Picnic has produced tracks for many local and national artists including the new PPT Cd Tres Monos In Love. Picnic is one of the most talented upcoming Hip Hop producers and beat makers in North Texas and this is a devastating loss for him and the local hip hop community.
We are in the process of organizing a benefit concert to help him get back on his feet. It will be on Sunday Dec. 3rd at Doublewide. More details will be coming soon.

Sad, sad news, but I'm just glad Picnic is OK.
Let us know anything we can do to support the benefit show. As soon as you have details, we'll promote the hell out of it.

Drove by the apartments today on the way back home and saw them for the first time. I hate that this happened right before Thanksgiving. The amount of food we have at our house is ridiculous, compared to the people coming in to visit. Picnic, come on by if you want about 50 gallons of mashed potatoes.
Seriously, real sorry about the loss. I can't imagine what that's like. Man....
