Devastation

Like Scott Wickstein, I am finding it very difficult to find anything to say about the devastation throughout Asia:

Its not so easy to write content about a terrible tragedy about this. What can you say for so many people dead, so many lives smashed, so many dreams shattered, and the pain of those left behind?

Fuck all, thats what.

I feel like something is stuck in my throat, and I can’t get my head around the escalating numbers of dead, not to mention the injured, sick and displaced people.

All I can do is pass on a request for non-perishable food, milk powder, medicine (like paracetamol), etc. Perth readers can drop things off here:

“Ceylon Style” Cafe
Corner of Etwell Street and Devenish Street
East Victoria Park

Contact: Rajindra (aka ‘Coach’)
Telephone: 0411 166 484 or 9361 1566

Thanks.

There will also be a benefit concert in the new year.

Update: Sydneysiders should head to the Sydney Goth Tsunami Aid gig on Wednesday, 5 January. All proceeds to Care Australia. (Via HBD & ES.)

    ab, I’m afraid I don’t off-hand. But if you ring Rajindra I’m sure you’ll be able to find out.
