New England is Rejecting Loomis Like a Bad Kidney

As some of you may know from twitter, last Thursday Erik’s new apartment was burglarized.  He lost two computers (one from URI, one of his own), two external harddrives, and a truckload of digitized primary documents and music.  The loss of hardware amounts to roughly $2000, but the losses in documents and music are far more significant.  The trove of primary docs is the main source for the final chapters of Erik’s book manuscript on labor relations, environmentalism, and logging, and can be reconstructed only at considerable time and expense.  The music is permanently gone.

In support of Erik, we’ve decided to launch a short fundraising drive.  Aside from (small) overhead, all donations for the next week will go directly to Erik, in order to make up for some of the loss.  Your support is deeply appreciated.

The above links are acting a bit twitchy, so if they’re not working just click on the Donate button on the near right sidebar.

Best,

The Management
