LUNGS remembers Brian Butterick aka Hattie Hathaway.

Our friend Brian was a poet, musician and performer that helped countless other artists find a platform for their work.

His impact on downtown nightlife is immeasurable. He helped found Wigstock and Night of a 1000 Stevies, was a Howl board member, and a great friend to LUNGS.

He bore the sadness and devastation caused by AIDS to this community with grace and demonstrations of love.

His genius, patience, sense of humor, and most importantly, his generosity will be remembered forever.
