This tragedy has been so difficult for my and my friends but at the same time, it's so encouraging to see so many people rallying together in order to help Japn with the relief. 

Our band (The Slants) is launching a coast to coast tour collecting money for the American Red Cross. So far, we've raised over $30,000 for the earthquake recover by working with a group of Anime Fans to do a 24 hour podcast.

With our upcoming tour, we're giving away free music for fans witha donation of $15 or more as well as doing numerous fundraising concerts. 

As Helen Keller syas, "The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker."

Here's our plea for help to our fans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlzJKy_e3Sg
