The goal of the night was to help raise enough money via raffles, silent auctions (a photo session with me was auctioned off!), donations, and sales of t-shirts, beer, baked goods, and margaritas, to send our friends Maggie & Brian Muldoon to Liberia this summer. </span></p> <p>Why Liberia? Maggie & Brian are part of a wonderful foundation called <strong><a href="http://morethanme.org/">More Than Me</a> </strong>that’s mission is to do everything possible to keep young girls off the streets of Liberia, where women in the slums are at the highest risk of becoming prostitutes and involved in sex-trafficking at as young as 10 years old. This summer, the goal of the Muldoons’ trip to Liberia is to create school art programs and safe-houses for the girls, to keep them flourishing for their futures, rather than ending up on the streets. </p> <p><span>I think it’s safe to say that with everyone’s generosity, they cracked their goal last night through cash donated and the raffle tickets/auction, but theres a few days left to donate to their trip online at </span><strong><a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/SafeHouseLiberia"><a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/SafeHouseLiberia">http://www.indiegogo.com/SafeHouseLiberia</a></a></strong></p> <p>During the event last night, The Nuclears performed an awesome semi-unplugged set that shook the house and included covers of Kiss, Lou Reed, and David Bowie, as well as an unplugged version of The Nuclears’ “You Can Make It” and an amazing thirteen minute cover medley by Brian and Mick Maverick. <br/><br/>Above is a video of The Nuclears performing David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” with Sean Spada on keyboard. </p>http://www.jetboydiaries.com/post/22543937756http://www.jetboydiaries.com/post/22543937756Sun, 06 May 2012 17:41:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3meef0r9S1r06a2to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Band meeting.
