Today was the day I finally came out of my shock and broke down in tears, just feeling so helpless and depressed over what’s going on down in New Orleans and that whole area. I’m worried about the few people I know down there, selfishly glad I don’t know more and glad I got a chance to visit the place and play there a few times before its ruination. The only concrete thing I could think of to do was to donate some money to the Red Cross, so that’s what I did. It wasn’t a lot but I gave as much as I could, and I hope y’all will think about doing it too if you haven’t already. I’m not saying that to get all self-righteous and moralistic on ya, it just made me feel a little better, a little less helpless, and maybe it’ll do the same for you. Click here, or if you can’t get through to their website then call to donate at 1-800-HELP-NOW.

I donated too… I have an article to send you from a doctor who is there now… just so scary and sad.

yeah. Too freaked out for words. My friends from there are safe in Florida. I just found that out this morning. Before that the knots kept tightening in my stomach. Those knots have only loosened slightly. Ugh, too hard to think about.

Our corporate office is located in new orleans, they’ve been checking in with us and are thankfully all safe. The owner/founder of our company is still down there protecting his house from looters. It’s been crazy.

I was talking with a semi driver at work earlier. He has 25 family members here in Austin from New Orleans. 20 are living in his house. He says they are NOT returning to LA. Theres nothing to go back to.
