If you have gone to the Despair Faction boards lately, you have probably noticed that it has become a ghost town. With the band's silence and a lack of new things to get excited about, it's no surprise.
We want to change that.
DF member BlaqkStarr has started an innovative project called the Despair Faction Phoenix Project. The aim is to "reconnect" the entire AFI family together. To participate, send an email to despairfactionphoenixproject@gmail.com with your real name, your board name, and your full mailing address. Here is what will happen after that:
"With this project, every DF member will receive the mailing address of a random DF member. You will then write a letter explaining everything that you love about the DF, how the DF has helped you through hard times, your favorite AFI memory, your favorite memory you had because/on the DF, anything that you think will make another DF'er maybe remember that time, create a new friendship, or just relate to that feeling that you have! If you want to include pictures of AFI shows you've been to, paintings/sketches you've made, anything you want to add with your letter to make that connection!"
Even if you aren't a DF member, consider taking part. I encourage everybody reading this to participate in this project. Perhaps your life has become busier in recent years and you have lost touch with the amazing community that, for many of us, has had a great influence on our lives. Take a moment and send the e-mail, and make a connection with that anonymous fan. Let's reignite the community, starting today.
Through our bleeding, we are one
