From Sean Carlson:
Tomorrow night, August 12th we are putting on a benefit so we can continue to do events like the Fck Yeah Fest, LA Scavenger Hunt & various shows all over Los Angeles. Here is an explanation why we are setting up this event.
This year the F Yeah Fest took a huge hit. The original financial backer pulled out days before we had planned to announce the line up, leaving the fest in a very bad position. We had to choose between canceling it entirely or scaling it down and risking going into an incredible amount of debt. We chose to go ahead and take the financial hit in order to keep what we have worked to build for the past five years alive. We didn’t realize how bad it would be until last week
Now we are well over $15k in debt. We do not have a financial backer to pull me out of this and it is impossible to get a loan when you are 23 years old and the only thing you own is a car worth about $400.
Tomorrows show is to raise a few dollars so we can continue to do events. If you cant make it to the show but would like to make a donation please use the paypal link below. 100% of your contribution will go towards keeping these events alive and will allow us to continue to grow. Anything you can donate will help us tremendously.
Thank you again for the years of support. We plan on doing this forever, even if it means we have to continue to live at home with our parents cause we cant afford rent.
Thank you again.

And the flyer. Well, yeah its pretty terrible but in a good way. Hope it makes you laugh.
And later today we will be making a huge F*ck Yeah Fest announcement regarding more bands, ticket info, art for the festival etc. And I want it to be known that Keith Morris has no ties to this benefit. He is a close friend of mine and we curate the fest together but he is not involved with this benefit. I do not want to get the impression that it is him asking for a helping hand. It is myself, Sean Carlson.
