[diem's list] Season of changes redux...

A few weeks back I posted an open letter to the community, called
"season of changes". In it, I talked about how our community has gone
through many changes, and as part of the process in changing was my
desire to see us as a community work together toward direct action
projects. I asked for you to go to EschFest, or alternatively buy a
raffle ticket. And you all came through in a big way.

A few select members of the community, spearheaded by Evil Dave,
created EschFest, to benefit the children of Nathan Esch, burner and
friend, who died after an accident at fourth of JuPlaya last year. As
a result of EschFest, over $4500 was netted. But what is the net
result? With $4500 in the bank, being guided by the best broker we
know, and with eight years to work on growing the account, we have
paid off a hefty chunk of the college funds for the boys. As a
community we provided what Nathan no longer could. And I am very very
proud to be part of *us*.

The second project I highlighted was Kipa Ana. Kipa Ana is this
Saturday! As mentioned before, all net proceeds are gong to a burner
founded non-profit organization, called C.O.L.O.R. Scott and Jen
Longheyer founded COLOR in response to the tsunamis of 2005. It is my
favorite kind of non-profit: direct action.

All details are at the site:

[diem's list] Kipa ana is next week/tattoo?

Just two quick notes everyone!

1) Kipa Ana is next week!
2) Tattoo trade anyone? Pass it on!


****************************************
Kipa Ana is next week! And we're getting excited around here! You can buy
pre-sale tickets at:

http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/15508

Remember--100% of net proceeds go *directly* to fund tutoring programs for
Sri Lankan children. One year of English tutoring is only $240, and it
only takes one person in a family with a job speaking English to bring
them all out of poverty level.

You *can* directly make a difference!

**************************************************


I design websites as a side project, and am looking to barter tattoo work
for a website for you.

Generally I charge from $50/$100 hour, but would like to do a swap on a
hour per hour basis. If I spend 5 hours on your site, I get 5 hours
tattooing, if I spend 10 hours on your site, I get 10 hours tattooing, and
so on.

Want your site to look awesome?

Here are the sites I have made:

http://www.djdiem.com
http://www.massiveburn.org
http://www.kipaana.com
http://pgnew.djdiem.com
http://hammer.djdiem.com
http://www.electronicmusiccollective.com
http://www.pinkyvargas.com
http://www.diemfinancial.net
http://www.eschfest.com
http://www.ricandjan.com
http://www.thesnakepit.info
http://tms.djdiem.com
http://wedding.djdiem.com
http://wafinancial.net

Also, "pgnew" is not yet live to the world (hence squirrel sex image
placeholders) as I am waiting for final images from the customer.

Keep in mind I don't create content, but can help a little in that area.
Also, as an added bonus, I can set you up with hosting for a year or show
you how to host it yourself.

[diem's list] Kipa ana is next week!

Hey all! Kipa ana is NEXT WEEK! I hope you all can make it. This will
be an incredible time! Read on for a recent post and volunteer
positions still open....


********************************

What is it? Kipa 'Ana is a special night for C.O.L.O.R., a 501c3
founded by burners to help the lives of children in Sri Lanka (see
(http://coloraid.org/). Color's mission is to create opportunity for
impoverished children and youth through aid, education, and raising
social awareness. This is not some massive herculean non-profit -- it
is a *direct action*
non-profit. 100% of the net proceeds goes towards scholarships for
schoolchildren. By supporting one child, you give someone else a
chance to raise their family out of poverty. You can see a slideshow
of the work done by C.O.L.O.R.

Not to mention this should be a blast!:

--Headlining the event is Beehive! They just released a new album, and
will be solidly rocking it that night
--Ludington GT, playing a live PA performance of EDM
--DJ Geminitrix, the superstar dj
- and performances by Dane Ballard and a photo booth by John Cornicello.
Every artist is doing this free, and we can't express enough our love.

Help us out and buy your pre-sales early! We'd love you for it!
