In addition to the show, here's a video describing another group that's raising money for the JCCCNC to send to Japan for the relief effort. For anyone can't make it to the show or something like that, you CAN still contribute! Not trying to steal thunder from the show, but want to let others know that they CAN still help out even if they can't make it!
"GENKI FOR JAPAN is a charity group based in San Francisco. Our goal is to raise money to support victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami of North Eastern Japan.
http://genkiforjapan.org/
All the money raised will be donated to JCCCNC, which has been approved by the Japanese consulate.

P.S. Who made the flyer? The use of the Rising Sun Flag (Kyokujitsu-ki) is inappropriate as it is the military flag of Japan and is associated with Japanese imperialism and military aggression in the first half of the 20th century (the Japanese military no longer conducts war operations overseas; it is a self-defense force under Article 9 of the Japanese national constitution). The only acceptable use of that flag today is maritime usage; it's not interchangeable with the national flag of Japan, the Hi no Maru. Militarism has no place in the relief effort for a tragic natural disaster. Thanks and best of luck at the show!

There are rumors going around that we do not have permits to throw this event, whomever is spreading these rumors are being spread by individuals trying to purposely sabotage a fundraiser. We have a permit and we have rented out the entire lot. These individuals have even gone through the trouble to modify our flier and email it to th...e San Francisco port authority. The copy of the flier says we are charging for parking, we are not CHARGING any one anything. We are accepting donations where the proceeds go directly to the Japanese Cultural Community Center of Northern California and Directly to the Northern Japan Relief Fund. We as an organization make absolutely NO money if anything we are putting our own Money just so you as individuals can participate in a group effort to make a difference. To those of you that feel the need to sabotage this organization, I pray for you because that is just a horrible thing you are trying to do.
