if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
If you don’t know me, it’s because I’m a fringe-dweller who lurks on this messageboard but rarely posts. Yup. My bad.
I only post when I get a wriggling sense of urgency. Do the Beasties read their board? If so; STOP READING, you three bad boys. SPOILER WARNING. Online, I call myself MsPacMan; because I’m small and I look kinda sweet, but I never shut up. And sometimes when I open my big mouth, it gets me into trouble. But here I go, anyway: I’m an Aussie girl from Sydney. Yauch has ALWAYS my favourite. I admire him so much that I even bought the goddamn action figures last year because, well…….damn. Because he ASKED. And because it was for kids with cancer. I mean…………….damn. Watching them (via video link) at the Hall of Fame induction tonight, I was so INCREDIBLY proud of them, I thought I was gonna spontaneously combust. If you didn’t get to see their speech, you GOTTA watch it when it airs on HBO. It literally reduced grown men to tears. They were THE classiest guys in the room. Someone on the messageboard was just telling me that they had been listening to an interview with Yauch from a coupla years ago. Yauch said that he felt the Beasties might not be the best BAND in the world, but he WAS certain they had the best FANS in the world. I think it’s pretty clear that we’re all spending a lot of precious time and energy worrying about our man MCA. And for good reason. It would appear we have a bigger battle on our hands than we anticipated, people. By the time you read this, you would’ve heard that MCA was too ill to attend the ceremony. He wouldn’t have missed it for the WORLD. So we can only imagine how ill he must be. We are putting a LOT of good vibes out there. Go team! Positive energy. It can’t hurt. But why don’t we DO something? Couldn’t we DO something? As the man himself says: “intention leads to action”. If I was him, I’m sure it would mean a LOT to me - that SO MANY people were keeping me in their thoughts; and in their hearts. So why don’t we SHOW him how much he means to us? I’m STARTING something. “We gotta get together; it’s been too long.” It’s called the………. “PWR 2 MCA PROJECT” We are sending the power of positivity to MCA. But THIS time, we’re gonna send more than just positive THOUGHTS. And you just GOTTA get involved: Step 1: take a photo like THIS: http://pic.twitter.com/M1NWEWpa Just the same as mine. Write “PWR 2 MCA” on your hand. Make a fist. Take the photo with your other hand. Use a different background. Left-handed people aren’t allowed to participate. (Kidding.) Step 2: TAKE POSITIVE ACTION in honour of Yauch. Pick a charity that would mean something to him. Donate! MAKE A DIFFERENCE! It DOES NOT have to be much. It can be five fucking dollars, you lousy bum. hahahahahaha Here are Yauch’s favourites; but it’s your call: https://secure.commonground.convio.com/pablove/donate/ http://www.alexslemonade.org/contribute (you can just do it online; easy peasy) Step 3: send the photo to me (Twitter; email; etc), tell me your name (or pseudonym) and where in the world you are. Also tell me which charity (and; if you like, how much $ you donated; but that’s your call). You can remain anonymous. Step 4: now THIS is where it gets SUPER AWESOME. I will collect ALL photos, and collate ALL details. I’ll probably do up a super-nerdy Excel document. I will then mail ALL OF OUR PHOTOS to O-Scope, addressed to Yauch, and also a list of ALL OF THE CHARITIES we have helped...... ...........BECAUSE WE WERE INSPIRED BY HIM. And possibly also how much $ we have raised in his honour. I’m mailing the photos exactly ONE MONTH after the Hall of Fame induction. I suppose some horrid, wicked people could do the following:
There are 72,596 registered users on this board. Imagine if I got a hundred of them to respond? Two hundred? How cool would that be? I wonder HOW big this could get? This is ADAM YAUCH we’re talking about, people. Every single one of us owes him. BIG TIME. He taught us about peace and non-violence. He taught us to stand up and take action. He taught us “if it don’t hurt nobody else; then don’t be afraid to be yourself”. He taught us “with the interconnectedness that we share as one; every action we take affects everyone”. He taught us that “White Castle fries only come in one size”. (........which may seem off-topic, but I have been typing for a while and a girl gets hungry, OK?) YOU OWE HIM! Adam is fighting the real fight and we’ve just GOTTA make sure he knows how much we care. We’ve gotta do it NOW. PLEASE GET INVOLVED. I wanna be able to send, like, HEAPS of photos. I want to run out of ink in my printer. I want the people at the post office to think I’m insane in the membrane. I wanna send so many photos that it will “flip his wig back”. And I wanna be able to say “like, SHIT, we raised (however-many) dollars because of YOU, Adam Yauch......... WHOA! Look how many people want to show their support!” COME ON PEOPLE! UNITE! STAND TOGETHER! FOR YAUCH! Will YOU do it FOR YAUCH? How can you NOT? GO! mspacman723@gmail.com https://twitter.com/#!/Ms_Pac_Man_723 http://www.youtube.com/user/MsPacMan723?feature=mhee http://illadventures.tumblr.com/ PS. As I am writing this, I can hear music drifting through my open window. It’s coming from next door. It’s my 13-year-old neighbour, messing around on iTunes; upstairs in his bedroom. You know what the kid’s playin’? Hot Sauce, y’all. |

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
Oh Sarah I love you for this!!!! I wanted to do something like this last year but folks thought it was cheesy. I guess now it's not. Whatever, I am happy to finally do something for him from the fans. I had some other ideas to share with you laters.
This will be really cool and I think Adam needs that. I mean he knows the fans care but hearing from us I think will really touch him. @Randetica I will donate in your name.

The whole idea is to get up and take action on his behalf. He's too sick to do it himself right now. He taught us to be the voice of the voiceless. THANKYOU to everyone who's responded. Please spread the word. xoxo |

I still do it sometimes. I did it with them all the time. Did anyone else? I used to play "I Don't Know" from Hello Nasty on a loop while I was doing it. If a lot of us are still doing it, I might include a note saying that. He would like to know, I'm sure. |

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
Really don't want to be the one to ask this, but does anyone besides the other guys and parents really know what his condition is? Tweets are saying really ill, but does anyone really know? And if he really wanted us to know, wouldn't Adam or Mike have let us know at the ceremony?
That being said, I'm down for this.

All we know is that WILD HORSES could not have stopped him from being with Adam and Mike yesterday. So it can't be good. What's important is that Adam Yauch knows we are WITH him. I already knew I could count on you for this, Silence7!!!!! This project would not be complete without our bootleg Grandmaster! xoxo |

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
I think mike or Adam need to get on this messageboard (for the first time in years) {if Yauch's not up to it} and let us know what's going on...God forbid something happened and we learned it from Reuters or Yahoo.
We don't need details but we need the truth....

Re: if you care about Adam Yauch; PLEASE read this
I'm down with this project.
Would love a positive update, but would understand if he wants to keep this between him and his family. I think a negative update would only generate more doubt and negative thoughts. Lets all try and send out positive vibes. |

I don't wanna post photos, it feels wrong...but my vote would be no his condition is not good based on his appearance. Good thing is that it's something that can be fixed with rehabilitation, surgery or whatever the docs require. Le Tigre retweeted! Sweet!

Good decision not post those photos of him; I agree it is wrong. Your support means everything! We were all so depressed yesterday and now everyone is getting psyched about PWR2MCA! |
