Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

pretty cool to see Mike helping out firsthand. and no big surprise.
it's also cool to see his new status as food/art dude bringing clout to a huge effort like this...

and last night there was a Bones Brigade documentary screening in San Francisco to help the NYC Food Truck project that Mike D and his MOCA co-designer Robert McKinley started.

a whole bunch of original Bones Brigade and Beastie Boys memorabilia was auctioned off and Tommy Guerrero DJ'd while Ian C Rogers of Topspin hosted with director Stacy Peralta on skype

Yes it is!!! I read that the other day and thought damn okay it is worse than I thought myself. Definitely sending some donations their way.

Thank you Mike D, you are an amazing person with a huge heart. :cool:

Yauch would be proud of you right now!

I was at the Bones Brigade event last night. It was a good turn out and the documentary is good. Good event and awesome of Mike and the others involved to do this

Re: Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

that's really great (y) props, mike d (y)(y)


not that he isnt going above and beyond already... just an idea:

why don't they dig up a song and put it on sale on the website for $3, all proceeds (minus i guess whatever it would cost to do the whole thing) go to this effort? any fan would jump to that. motivating passive people can be hard.

something in high demand out that will bring the fans out.




edit: maybe this is already in the works or maybe not for a very good reason.
in a world gone mad

Re: Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

Yeah some fans sent me pictures of him helping out the other day... Really cool Mike! Luv yaaaaaaaaaaa

Re: Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

We're you able to go to this? It's so cool to see all the ways people are helping :)

Re: Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

I liked that documentary. Disappointed that there was no Mariano, Barbee, Hill, or any real street skaters from the late 80s. Mullen eventually became one, but a lot later at World. Skate or die.

This is wonderful. Well done, Mike. (y)

A picture of Mike D with a group of others was on Meet the Press this morning. With about 10 minutes to go in the show, they were showing pictures of people helping out on Thanksgiving and there is a shot of Mike with others standing by the back of a truck. When Sandy struck, I kept thinking that this is something that Yauch would have been all over, doing everything he could to try and help the people of his beloved city. I was glad to see that Mike, and I'm sure Adrock are carrying on his legacy of helping others (not to say that they didn't do that already).

His sons were there as well, helping.

I hope Mike D sees this......


I was affected as well in massapequa. I had almost 3 feet of water in my home. lost alll my furniture and my car. I doubt anyone would care but i wanted to let everyone know that we were hit very hard as well. I appreciate Mike's willingness to help others in need.

Re: Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

I think it's fair to say that everybody cares and sends there well wishes to you and your family. Is Homeowners insurance covering it?

Re: Mike D- Sandy relief efforts and statement
 

For sure, Kenny. Sorry to hear you got hit.
