James Demarest hasn't added a story.
As the rage-tastic Summer of 2013 comes to an end, it's time to
cherish the good times and, as always, count our bruises. It's hard
work being a Rockstar/Rager/Warlock/Jedi/Bo$$. With epic amounts of
raging, danger has been known to be found right around the corner.
This year, we had a very unfortunate and innocent casualty. There was
an O.O.C.W.R.I. (Out-Of-Control- Wook-Related-Injury) that occurred on
the playa. It was just a few short days in to what was supposed to be
an epic Burn for our underservingfriend, Kelsey Kilsemer. Her poor
little wing was broken….badly…in the desert.
As many of us know,
Burning Man takes a massive amount of time, energy, and money to plan
for. It's not called "radical self-reliance" for nothing. So
you can imagine how devastating it would be for a virgin Burner to
have to leave on Wednesday. Especially after having her quite useful
arm broken by a drunken fool. Then followed by a not-so-fun adventure
to the playa hospital to get her bones put back into place.
Now having a broken limb can make things difficult. Without an
arm, working is tough. Without work, making money is tough. Without
money, Burning Man 2014 doesn't happen. Now that would be extremely
unfair for our brave little bird.
My goal is to send Kelsey on an all-expenses-paid trip to the
Burn next year. Playa Princess status all the way. I will personally
be donating all of the money I make from each show I play from now
until we leave for the Burn. I also will be offering DJ/beginner
production classes through Jedi Training Camp. Any students that take
this class will be receiving a metric shit ton of DJ and production
programs. All proceeds also being donated to the Playa Princess
fund.
A PayPal account is being set up so others can donate as
well. If you have anything extra please consider helping out during
these challenging times. We are blessed to have such a badass
community. Remember that it will only get stronger through situations
like this if we care enough to try.
You can also help out by
putting on your party pants and showing up to all of these shows I
will be playing! Let's create something magical out of a negative
experience and boogie the night away.
