Organizers have pledged that this year's edition "will carry a renewed sense of purpose" by raising funds for L.A. wildfire relief and "honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours."
HITS plans to approach this era with a renewed sense of purpose as well. Or we would, if we ever had a purpose to begin with.
