If you have not heard Joplin,MO was hit with a devastating tornado on Sunday, which essentially leveled 75% of the town, and has killed over 100 people so far.
This is the second worst tornado on record since 1950.
SO, the amazing folks from Wakarusa have created a disaster relief donation page. We must help our Midwestern neighbor get back on its feet. All donations will benefit the American Red Cross (Greater Ozarks Chapter). Wakarusa will match all donations made between now and May 27. Together we can and should make a difference.
Here is a link to the donation page: http://wakarusa.frontgatesolutions.com/choose.php?lid=53215
While I have your attention, it is highly recommended that you carpool to far away festivals such as this for many reasons. First, road trips with friends are very fun, you get to play games, and sing songs together. But dont break my #1 rule, "NO Music form a band you are going to see." You also save money on gas, leaving a much smaller carbon foot print on our mother earth.
In conclusion, go see bands like My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper, Basnectar, Mumford and Sons and many others and, help your brothers and sisters in Joplin, and carpool
