AFP - Indonesian sharia police are “morally rehabilitating” more than 60 young punk rock fans in Aceh province on Sumatra island, saying the youths are tarnishing the province’s image.

Since being arrested at a punk rock concert in the provincial capital Banda Aceh on Saturday night, 59 male and five female punk rock fans have been forced to have their hair cut, bathe in a lake, change clothes and pray.

Strange news of the day. Apparently the show they were arrested at was “organised to raise money for orphans”.

This is not acceptable

He liked to keep it simple. He liked to draw on the floor of his living room while watching old movies. I found this photo of his drawing space a while back with the caption “This is where I’m coming from.”

I am posting this with permission from his family.

Woops. I’m sorry I didn’t notice this sooner, but apparently AIDS Walk SF won’t let sponsors donate anything less than $25. I know that this has cost the cause some money, and that’s pretty frustrating.

Alternately, since everything I raise will be going to Homeless Youth Alliance, you can make donations of any amount directly to them here. Or, you could force the next four people you see to give you $5 each, and then you can make a $25 donation and claim all the glory for yourself.

There are also still a number of eBay auctions open, with 100% of the sale amounts going towards my AIDS Walk fund-raising efforts. Get awesome art and signed books, and help a great cause! Even though some of these auctions will close after the walk, donations can still be made over the next couple of weeks on the official AIDS Walk site.

Thank you.

“SJP & LDB vs AIDS” by Sina Grace

SJP = Sarah Jessica Parker
LDB = L’il Depressed Boy
AIDS = acquired immune deficiency syndrome

The drawing is by “Li’l Depressed Boy” artist Sina Grace, combining his three favorite things: LDB, SJP, and defeating AIDS. These two have never faced a threat greater than AIDS, and it may take more than a spikey Louboutin to end it.

This drawing is being auctioned here, and 100% of the sale proceeds will go towards sponsoring me in my AIDS Walk SF efforts. If you would like to learn more about my involvement and how what I raise will be used, please check out my post about it here.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE FOR AIDS WALK 2011! Tom Beland art!

**7/10 UPDATE** Auction closed.

Tom Beland says….

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE FOR AIDS WALK 2011!

Tom Beland, writer/artist of the Image Comics series, TRUE STORY, SWEAR TO GOD, and writer for Marvel and Bongo Comics, has donated this sketch to help raise money for the AIDS Walk. It’s quite possibly the single greatest sketch in history by any artist born on September 25, 1962 and raised on Pine Street in Napa.

The sketch, which features The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant Man and Wasp, is on 11” x 14” bristol board, inked with brush pen and colored using Prismacolor pencils. Not only does it have a nice collection of Marvel characters, it’s pretty too. Seriously… your walls will fight over which one gets it hung on.

I have friends who’ve been dealing with HIV for a number of years. This cause is as close to me as cancer research, so I’d appreciate it if people bring the price up as high as possible. I’m not getting any of the money and it’s for a very good cause, so feel free to dig deep into your pockets. The entire sale price will go towards sponsoring Branwyn Bigglestone’s participation in AIDS Walk SF. If you would like to learn more, check out her post about it: http://biggletron.tumblr.com/post/7046713395/please-sponsor-me-for-aids-walk-sf

Shipping is via UPS ground and I’ll toss in the shipping fees if the buyer lives in the U.S.

**7/9 UPDATE** Item no longer available, it has been claimed!
