TNZ Halloween drive for mostlyharmless in Iceland
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you may know, mostlyharmless is a longtime TNZ regular, and a resident of Iceland, which has just undergone a severe economic collapse. I have been in touch with Glenn (mostlyharmless) and he and his husband Thor ar not wanting for food staples or cash right now... it seems the Icelandic people are pulling together for the most part and taking care of one another in this crisis.
My original thought was that they might need food or money... basic survival things. But what they need most of all, it seems, is a sense of normalcy... for life to go on. To that end, Glenn and Thor are still planning to hold their big annual Halloween party for their friends and neighbors as scheduled at the coffee house Glenn owns.
Unfortunately, frivolities like costumes, decorations and candy are hard to come by in Reykjavik these days... so Glenn asks that anyone who can help gather whatever Halloween-related items you have or can cheaply acquire... candy, decorations, last year's costumes... and send them to him at the coffee house. There's no time to gather everything together and send it as one big package, so here's the address:
ADDRESS DELETED
DO NOT POST ANYONE'S INFO HERE WITH OUT THEIR PERMISSION
If you want to help, I suggest you move quickly... Halloween is just about two weeks away and I don't know how long it takes to ship a package to Iceland. Thanks for whatever you can do! Remember: this economic thing is happening around the globe and it may be you or me who is next craving, but lacking, life's simple pleasures.
Based on pictures from previous years' parties, there are kids invovled in these things, so include some children's costumes too, if you can!
