I'm calling on the people of VBP for a little charity on behalf of one of our interns, Julian Grimes. The other night, Julian attended a concert at the Filmore and his friend's car was broken to. Julian's bag was stolen from inside the car, and inside it was his personal laptop, his work laptop, and his own car keys. This led to his car having to be towed, and new keys to be made which required the removal of his car's dashboard and a significant amount of expenses just for that. 

Julian is a great guy and visiting us here from the VCU Brandcenter for the summer. Needless to say, this sort of financial setback is a serious one for anybody. But as an intern, it's particularly difficult.

I'm hoping that all of us here can chip in a little bit of money to help ensure that Julian doesn't end up in a mountain of debt as a result of his time here in SF. 

I hope you'll all find it in your heart to give a little bit to a VBPer in need. All funds raised will go directly to Julian to cover his expenses for his lost items and car repair. Thanks so much.
