I had told people that i would put up a video of me transferring the money to MSF, so here it is. Nothing exciting, just there for transparency.

There is a gratuitous quick tour of the man cave in the first minute if you’d like to see it.

Between Friday, Jan 15 and Wednesday jan 20th, people contributed 1270 Can$ to Doctors without Borders. I played 6 shows during that time, and Nad Gough, Damian Carbenell, Shamanes, JellyJellyJelly Benelli and Montian Gilruth each played a show with donations directed through me.

I wanted to re-thank everyone involved. Firstly everyone who donated .. from 20L to 25000L, I really felt people did what they could.

It started out just wanted to do something, and wanting to make sure any money raised went to the proper places. So I decided to donate any lindens I had, as well as any tips received for the next few shows.

Then LilJamie Lewsey got involved. She wanted to do something, and with the help of the good folks at Club Yana they donated over 20 000L.

Then Robin Roar wanted to do something. She lined up Nad Gough and Damian Carbenell. They each played a show at LC Live with proceeds going to MSF.

Then Bree Birke wanted to get involved. She had planned to donate any tips from the shows at Nitida Ridge on Wednesday to disaster releif in Haiti. There was already a kiosque for the Red Cross there, but she wanted to know if she could put the sign for MSF there as well, in case anyone preferred one over the other.

Shamanes, JellyJellyJelly Bennelli, and Montian Gilruth donated any tips received to one of these charities.

And once again… lots of people gave. If I thought no one cared, I’d list everyone’s name here, but i know that some would prefer their privacy. People gave out of kindness and not for recognition.

Thanks again, and lets keep trying to do what we can.
