flood Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hey guys, Thursday night, Mitch Dubey, a good friend of mine, and many of the other labels/bands represented on this message board was shot and killed during what police have dubbed "a home invasion robbery". He was shot after trying to verbally get the assailant to put down the gun, and later died of his injuries at the hospital. The Dubey family has suffered so much recently, as Mitch's father was paralyzed in an accident a year or two ago, and Mitch was helping his family with those expenses as it was. We're doing everything in our power to raise funds to cover the funeral expenses, and the travel expenses of his family during this horrible time. Mitch dedicated his life to helping out bands, and was always throwing house shows, and putting up bands for the night and just going out his way to support the scene in every way possible. If anyone would like to donate anything for the auction, you can send items to Asbestos Records c/o Benefit Auction 8 Spring St Ansonia CT 06401 for all the labels/bands that have already contacted me... thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. i will post the complete list of items here once we get the auctions underway in a week or so.

almightyseancore Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 goddammit i had a really funny beatles joke to go with this title, but then i read the thread and now i'm sad. i can't believe people are willing to kill other people for their shit. this should evolve into a poignant political debate on the bullshits of materialism, but then again this is a record collecting forum.
