BROOKLYN <3 JAPAN:
A Brooklyn Benefit for Japan Disaster Relief (Night One):
RA RA RIOT / SEAN BONES / DIAMONDSNAKE / LISA DELARIOS / EUGENE MIRMAN / TODD BARRY Hosted By: LIAM MCENEANEY Plus DJ sets by: DJ ANNIE HART (AU REVOIR SIMONE) & DJ BAIO (VAMPIRE WEEKEND)

An estimated 350,000 are reportedly homeless from the devastation caused by the Japanese tsunami and 9.0 magnitude earthquake earlier this month. Over 10,000 are confirmed dead, and another 17,000 more are reported missing according to the United Nations. Our hearts have been hurting thinking about this tragedy, and we've put together a two-part benefit to raise funds to help the disaster relief effort in Japan. 100% of the ticket sales and silent auction sales will benefit GlobalGiving.org, a charity that is currently disbursing funds to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. The funds will directly help survivors and victims with recovery efforts.

We've joined forces with other local Brooklyn businesses to help raise more money at both events through a silent auction, including hundreds of dollars worth of gift certificates from Union Hall, Floyd, Frankies 457, Prime Meats, Bogota Bistro, Fonda. Also contributing items to the silent auction are Bravo's Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen (a pair of tickets to see the show), a signed Les Savy Fav skateboard from French Kiss Records, autographed copies of Stephen Colbert's I Am America and Steve Martin's An Object of Beauty.

Please join us for two nights of wonderful music and comedy at the Bell House in Brooklyn! And don't forget to RSVP to Night Two as well!
