yo I really think this is a cool idea, just even if PWR2MCA became trending that would be sweet and MCA would have to notice. I really think the best way is to send @'s message with the bit.ly (shortened url) link about the project and ask for a RT... I have gotten direct messages and replies from lots of people but I suggest trying to get RTs from some big name people. Anyone who has or is friends with the Beastie Boys: @M1XMASTERM1KE @ztrip @DJQbert @adrock @B_Real420 @Bongoloidz @pbwolf hopefully someone who is close to him can urge him to release an official statement on his condition ya know...
or just get the message out to people who have a massive following who might RT @MDNA @Yelawolf @iamdiddy @justinbieber @Eminem I mean a lot of these people grew up listening to Beastie Boys and MCA has a special place in all of our hearts. If diddy RT it would goto 5,294,173 Followers. Eminem 10,244,360 Followers. @justinbieber 20,228,981 Followers. You get the point. So hit up your favorite artists on twitter they do listen! #PWR2MCA peace @djskrilla

and they do come on the message board sometimes and its usually Yauch or Diamond. Not Horovitz. Yauch does post occasionally.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

I'm down will be continuing to pray for his recovery and will donate some money to cancer,
peace, one love Mca

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

This is great.

Spread the word!

But of course the idea is not to put pressure on Adam Yauch in any way. I don't feel that his health status is our business - we are his fans; not his family! He will update us when he feels it's appropriate and I wouldn't want him to be offended by what we're doing in any way. Imagine if something we did upset him? The whole project would backfire. We need to be respectful because we are dealing with something that's very serious.

By all means; please tell as many people about the project as you can! I appreciate your support SO much!

Hear ye people:

The PWR2MCA Project now has a Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003248809602

I have never used Facebook; so forgive me if I make a few stuff-ups.

And I'm a little cut about being on Facebook, because now I can't buy this shirt:

News from Jordan@slimsammy on Twitter:

"I just got retweeted by Anthony Fantano (Big music reviewer on YouTube) he retweeted "PWR2MCA" to 12,400 of his fans!!!!!"


..................and later.................


"Some more good news: that one retweet caused a couple more retweets from his followers/fans!! Wahooo!"

Butterfly effect, people. Thanks Jordan!

Thankyou also to Paul Dempsey (Australian musician) who retweeted us.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where positivity is cheesy. Personally I am down with the cheese...Gouda perferably.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

No it wasn't you. It was in the past, differences aside.. We're all on the same page now and that's what matters. ;) I guess it was all about timing!

Sarah I want to share that facebook page but I think you need to correct some things. It doesn't appear to be set up as a community! EMAIL me back so I can help you with that!

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Oh crikey. Thank goodness for Jo.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

LOL. Oh y'kno I don't take my fanatic-ness to seriously ;) hahahahhahahaha

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

I know I'm on here the least of anyone but I just gotta say I'm so thankful you started this & we have something we can all get together on for him.(y) MCA just amazes me like everyone else & I have nothing but the deepest love & respect for him so I'll do whatever I can also! Anything for Adam.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Thank you for the opportunity. I have beautiful images of Yauch I will sell for charity. Solo shots of him not seen anywhere. Anyone interested? It has to go to someone special. Let me know how much you would be willing to donate and I will have my assistant send it out to you.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Thank you Sunny! I will spread the word. ;)

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

this is the coolest thing ever! Sunny Bak comes out of hiding to get involved.

the Beastie Boys community is on fire right now.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Sunny,

It is SO awesome that you contacted us. I tried to message you on Facebook but couldn’t figure out how to do it (folks on this messageboard will tell you I am VERY new to Facebook! My bad.)

We are Adam Yauch’s fans. We don’t know him and we don’t pretend to represent him. The whole point of this project is simply to show him our support, respectfully.

The fact that you’ve offered to help means a LOT to us!

I recently watched a video on YouTube about your exhibition, where you were talking about the incredible photos you had taken of the Beasties. I was hanging on your every word.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uFI-5Xg0RE

I never knew the Rodney Dangerfield story. It was absolutely mind-blowing to hear the background to a photo which I have loved for years.

Of course we would be interested in bidding for your photos of Yauch!!!!

“Solo shots of him not seen anywhere.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope I’m the highest bidder! I will put up a new post on our Facebook page once I have some more details from you.

How would you like people to contact you with their bids? Can I give them your assistant’s email? Would you like people to email ME with their bids? I am more than happy to help.

Much respect to you! We cannot thank you enough.

My name is Sarah and this is my email:
mspacman723@gmail.com

THANKS AGAIN, Sunny!
:)

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Ill be donating to this on tuesday of next week as soon as I get money i've been out of work for 2 weeks I start again next week and the second I get paid ill donate straight to this!

This is a great idea.

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

I know!!! How cool!!! PWR2MCA is getting around!! I bet Yauch has heard of it!

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Theres no deadline on donations right? I dont wanna miss this!!

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

No deadline on donations; whenever people can manage it. No pressure!

But if you want your photo to go in Yauch's mail-pack, the final day to send it to me is the 14th of May (one month after Hall of Fame day).

Thanks guys, for your support!

(And remember it doesn't have to be money! It can be another sort of positive action! Did you hear about Thad's 3rd graders, making the bowls? That was amazing!)

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
 

Hey MsPacMan - great post...

I specifically created a profile here to reply to your cause.

I've been a BB fan since about '88, seen them live a few times & the passing of Adam Yauch was & still is hard to take.. You only know what you got when it's gone :(

Your OP was so emotional & heart-felt that I donated my last $15 to AlexsLemonade. I still can't believe MCA is gone, 47 is too young he still had so much to give..

Donation Screeny:

Keep up the good work & lets not ever forget Adam & what he stood for.

Peace & Love.
