due to a scheduling conflict i'm unable to attend something very special happening in boston over the weekend. to make up for my absence, i wanted to talk about it here. if you haven't heard about To Write Love On Her Arms, listen up! TWLOHA is a non-profit organization that aims to help young adults fighting depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-injury. it is such a kick-ass organization. before social networking became so major, TWLOHA spread the word by enlisting musicians and bands to wear their t-shirts during shows, festivals and appearances. TWLOHA is in boston this weekend holding a conference called MOVE at zuzu! in cambridge.
i know you want to hear about the bands and see some photos... anberlin, the rocket summer, paramore, boys like girls, switchfoot, panic at the disco and so many others.
love is the movement.
what i like most about TWLOHA is that they don't try to spread a message that life is always easy. they focus on heavy and light. and put the ugly stuff right out in the open. they are helping so many kids and i think that is freakin' fantastic.
