Our first Craft Mutiny sale/event was a huge success. We got to see and hang out with lots of people, learned the art of the fast pack up and worked together on our first event. We also added a new member! His work is completely different from everyone else's in the group and that is so rad. Sean Hennessey is a painter, a sculptor, and a faux finisher. He makes things with paint, concrete, plaster, & wood, plus does some mad Gocco printing. He is also married to Rania, another of our newer members. How cool is that?

Here is one of his pieces, which is for sale on his Etsy shop:

Donations Sought for J. Robbins' Son Cal Robbins diagnosed with motor neuron disease

Callum Robbins, son of J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Channels, plus a slew of producing and engineering credits) and Janet Morgan (Channels), is in need of your help.

In September, the now-ten-month-old Cal was diagnosed with genetic motor neuron disease Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Type 1), an often-fatal disorder; most children with Type 1 SMA will die before the age of two, as it affects their ability to crawl, walk, breathe, swallow, and control their head and neck. At this point in time, it does not have a cure.

SMA-stricken babies who live past the age of two are likely to be wheelchair-bound for life and probably require scoliosis surgery. The condition is an expensive one, especially for parents looking to test out its experimental treatments, which is something Robbins and Morgan hope to do.

As you well know, indie rock godfathers don't usually pull in the big bucks. Thus, DeSoto Records (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Channels) co-founder Bill Barbot has set up a PayPal account to raise money for Cal and his family. Donations can be made to the PayPal account of bbarbot@gmail.com or via the link on Cal's page.
