INUNDATED
Not meaning to be insensitive, it is only as I come back to the US and have access to more English language media that I am now fully aware of the devastation of New Orleans. My access to newspapers, TV, websites etc. was very limited while I was on Ile de Re. My heart goes out to my friends there, at least one of which is now homeless. And of course, to the uncountable thousands whose lives are lost, in peril, or in trauma. We have yet to locate Alex Chilton, and of course hope he's hanging out somewhere safe and dry.
Needless to say, our show at TwiRoPa that was to have been this month is cancelled. No other dates appear to have been affected to that point.
There are numerous opportunities to donate to vitims of the hurricane and flood. Google's home page has a link to Red Cross donations via Amazon.com
MoveOn.org is asking for people willing to take people into their homes.
