Our names are Peter Orth and Jonathan Wolff, and our old friend Tom Stern lost his house and everything in it in the Eaton fire recently - Tom is one of the most creative people that we know, and right now he is in the home-stretch of finishing his epic documentary on legendary art-punk band the Butthole Surfers.

He has been putting all of his energy, time and attention into this documentary project for years now, working with all of the band members, and many of their contemporaries.

He not only lost his house and a lifetime’s worth of his stuff, he also lost the elaborate backyard studio that he built himself, full of the puppets, sets and the miniatures that he had been assembling for the final filming sessions of the documentary.

He ran out the door with just a few important things, never expecting that he would return to a smoking ruin.

Please help him to set his life back on track - your donations will help him get back on his feet to cover the things that FEMA will not. We greatly appreciate you helping out our friend, and thank you very much.
