Let Live was a gigantic success! 

Hi all. We're back from our weekend off. We needed it, so sorry it's taken us this long to be here to thank everyone we need to. So a big thank you to everybody that came out to Let Live, to everybody who donated art, donated time and effort to help set up the space, to anyone who donated money, bought art, and to anyone who even couldn't make it but cares about this issue. It is all very much appreciated by we who have been planning Let Live for the past few months, and mainly to the SHAC7.

To everyone wondering, we managed to raise $9000! Yep, you heard it right. This is all going to the 6 defendants of the trial, and this much money should sustain them all for the couple of months they will be living in New Jersey with no jobs and still having to pay rent and eat. You can imagine how much this will help them all put their minds at ease (hopefully at least just a little bit) during their ordeal.

Josh Harper and Kevin Jonaas wanted everyone to know they were blown away from the event, and couldn't imagine a better way to spend their last night before the trial. Seeing a community come together like that was an inspiration.

Sometime shortly we will be posting pictures and maybe even a video from the event. Stay tuned. We hope everyone had fun. We did. If any of us looked crazy or stressed, we apologize. None of us were really prepared by the amazing amount of people that showed up! It was fucking great! Hopefully you all bore with us, and from seeing how many people stuck around that long, maybe you did. We love you.
