Let's Replace Danny's Laptop!
Donation protected
Our lives, and our relationship, revolve around live music. From concerts and clubs to raves and multi day music festivals, we eat, sleep and breathe music and dance like every cell in our body is affected.
Two years ago, we said 'I Love You' for the first time at Lightning in a Bottle. Last year, we conquered our first major festival as contributors to The DJ List and this year, we were back for the third time - for him, to cover the festival as a photographer for The DJ List and for myself, working on the Press Team with The Confluence.
We had an amazing weekend and met dozens of warm hearted, life loving, amazing individuals. Unfortunately, those memories are now marred.
On Monday morning while we were packing, we noticed that things weren't right. First, we noticed that our 13" Apple MacBook Air was stolen. Then, we realized that other trivial things like an Apple Lightning Cord + Phone Charger were gone...and so was our favorite pillow.
After putting 2 and 2 together to make 4, we've come to the conclusion that we'd been watched all weekend. The two of us had gone back and forth to the tent from the Press Area with our gear several times, and someone must have been watching.
This isn't just a laptop - this is Danny's photo laptop. This is where he's edited pics from Lucent Dossier, HARD Day of the Dead, Gem and Jam Festival and Sea of Dreams. He's also working as a live theater photographer and has deliverables to turn in weekly. The stolen laptop is more than an inconvenience, it's a monetary drain and is putting his work - his AMAZING work - on hold.
I don't care if we make all of the money back for a new computer, I don't even care if we only make half - I just want us to continue doing what we love doing, because covering live music and being part of this community is something that both of us are so passionate about.
All of these pictures were edited with Danny's laptop. Just LOOK at the magic! And know that he can't get us our LIB pictures until this is fixed!
ANYTHING would make a difference, even if it's just $5. Or your love, a joke...just your support makes all the difference.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts and top of our minds - and hopefully together we can make this right.
