Earthquake in Japan

Scribe — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 12:49:12 +0000

Adryn and the rest of our friends in Japan are okay.

As you may know, Adryn currently lives in Tochigi Prefecture, which is one of the places that was heavily affected by the 8.9 temblor that devastated the main island of Japan last Friday, March 11th. Scribe and Raven have both lived there as well. It has been, in many different ways, a second home to all of us. We feel very deeply about the need for action and hope that you will join us in supporting the relief efforts.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of those affected by the earthquake.

You can donate to the relief effort by texting REDCROSS to 90999 or at any of the following websites:

Or donate to any charity through PayPal.

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and continued support.

Eh?

I am not sure exactly what led to there not being a podcast up by now for this week, but I am sure that the explanation surely involves a dramatic fight-to-the-death between aliens and godzilla, and that there WILL be an episode seven up soon. Ish.

There’s a godzilla-shaped hole in my wall… Hmn.
