help for Arin Rain

A few people here in this region has posted about the situation for Arin Rain in Oregon who has lost his home due the fires in this area. Below are a couple of posts (by Pound and Acid Mantle Promotions) about the situation. Arin says that he is now homeless with four children.

2020 has been a royal dumpster fire of a year. Sometimes it feels like every day we wake up to a new catastrophe. After facing many large scale problems that we can't do as much about, sometimes it's important to zoom in and focus on the problems that we can solve more immediately.

Case in point is our good friend Arin Rain from Medford, who just lost his house to the fires in Oregon.

Bookers and promoters like him in small towns are the foundation that the underground tour circuit is built on. Without the shows that the puts on, bands wouldn't be able to make much needed gas money to travel between larger markets.

His work and friendship have been invaluable to us over the years and without his efforts, Medford wouldn't be a town worth hitting.

He's been there for us, serving up rager shows in the back of a Chinese restaurant with a smile and warm hug and now it's time for us to step up and be there for him.

Arin is also a monster of an artist. We have two of his designs on shirts right now. Every penny from the sales of those shirts is going to go towards helping him.

In addition to that, he's working on a new shirt design for us that will go towards fire relief aide in his area. If you can afford to toss him some bucks, his paypal is urinalcakewalk@gmail.com

If you'd like to purchase one of our shirts with his awesome designs, the link to our bandcamp is in the comments.

!!! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ !!!

Anyone who has toured with me in recent years will remember fondly our time in Medford. Not only is King Wah's a great place to play, but the man who helps put these shows together is an amazing individual who puts so much time and energy into helping make these shows a great experience for all; bands and attendee's alike.

This amazing guy, Arin Rain (Black blood booking), and his family just experienced extreme loss due to the recent "unprecedented" fires taking place throughout the PNW. His family home of 34 years burned to the ground today. Burned. To. The. Ground.

I feel that someone who is so incredibly giving of his time, energy and enthusiasm (some of our most precious gifts we can give) deserves to receive the help that he so freely gives time and again. I am asking for you to please donate anything you can to help his family.

I will take physical donations of goods personally, as I plan to drive down to Oregon this weekend and deliver whatever we can put together. There is a list (below) of his children and their ages in hopes we can put together appropriate items for their needs. Also below is a PayPal email if you would prefer to donate in the form of money.

I know we all don't have much right now, but if you can give anything at all, I would greatly appreciate it.

Just confirmed my family home of 34 years has burned to the ground. I accept that it's only stuff, but I am now homeless with 4 children.

Left work early to defend the property, by the time I got there, was unable to gather much of anything before having to leave without risking my life.

Thanking fuck my people are alive and safe, but we have nothing now. I'm not that upset about my own things, but my children have needs and we've lost everything. I don't feel comfortable asking, but happy to accept any help.
