Thanks to your hard work, Music for Relief has raised more than $246,000 for earthquake & tsunami relief in Japan. We're less than $4,000 from our goal and I know you can help us reach and exceed it. The more money we raise for Japan the more aid we can send to kids in need, and that means more of you get to see Linkin Park and B'z up close on August 31. Tickets are in short supply and going fast, so CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO YOUR PAGE and continue raising money for Japan. Now is the time to hit your goal if you want to get tickets. Think about other people you know who may want to help. Have you asked your neighbors? Your friends? Your relatives? What about your co-workers? Lets see how high we can get the total raised for Japan in the next 12 days. - music for relief...
Jesse Mohr from rev967.com has quite the strong opinion about Linkin Park's ongoing relief efforts for the Tsunami victims in Japan. You can read his post below. I wanna make clear, that I so don't agree with that!
1. Of course there are a million places, where people need help, but you got to start somewhere and Linkin Park have also supported and organized relief stuff for Haiti and tons of other regions that were hit by natural disasters. Also, we really shouldn't forget that millions of people will suffer from the after effects of the Tsunami in Japan for decades!
2. The point that people should invest their "hard-earned" money in their own countries first really pisses me off! When do we finally realize that we are ONE people on ONE earth? Everybody should decide for themselves which relief organisations they want to support, and in my opinion you should just listen to your heart instead of sorting people and their problems into hierarchies. For example, I have donated to Save the Children, MFR, Donate Life and I am an online volunteer for UNHCR, but that doesn't mean that I think other issues are less important, I just had to make a decision eventually.
You can discuss Jesse's opinion in the comment section!

Today is the one-month anniversary of the Tohoku quake and tsunami disaster, but my flat is still rattling from aftershocks (I counted three today, but I’m sure there were more). Last weekend was actually the first I’ve spent at home in Tokyo since March 11, when the big one hit. Much of the last month I’ve been up north, looking for my in-laws, ferrying supplies to relief organizations, and being a guide for foreign television crews looking to get close to ground zero in the first days after the disaster....

Group benefit show to lend a helping hand In Japan.
Artists and Photographers from all over the globe come together to help all those affected by the earthquake, tsunami and now radiation damage in Japan. When we first listed this event, we wanted to keep this as a print based show. After receiving so many emails from people wanting to donate original drawings, we've now decided to allow original works on paper.
All artwork will be priced at $200 or less!
This is a rare opportunity where artists lower their standard pricing in order to help those in need.
100% of the sales made from this one-night-only exhibition will be donated to the Red Cross.
