Otto Schutt is a big man with a little tumor that is going to be removed from his intestine on Friday. They cut him open last week to check out his appendix & saw that was fine and thought it was all just a nasty infection. The biopsy results came back Monday and unfortunately the doctors found the tumor is malignant (the bad kind) and although the prognosis is unknonwn at this time your prayers and support will help.

The cost is $30,000 for the surgery and there is no insurance. There will be a fundraiser to help defer the cost.

It would be impossible to count the number of fundraisers brother Schutt has lead in our community. From burning man camps, art projects, thefts, accidents, surgeries, children, environment and the greater San Francisco community, this man has been a leader of love and light for many hearts in our town.

We will be dedicating November’s FRESH at Shine on the 2nd to do what Otto would want us to do most…dance. In the event you can’t make it; please consider a little donation via PayPal to randomleekind@yahoo.com to show your support.

If you’d like to send a check please send it to:

Joy forwarded us the story of her friend Bjorn, whose laptop was stolen by soulless open-arsed rat turd from a bar during happy hour. Good news is, thanks to a well-hung surveillance cam, the perp was caught in the act, and now, hopefully, his 15 minutes of YouTube fame will be followed by a bit more time in a far less pleasant venue.

Stealing a person’s computer is low. All those mp3s, torrent downloads, emails, site passwords and pornography is had to replace, or perhaps irreplaceable if one’s lazy about backups. I had it happen once, and I still like to think that the perp’s going to a special place in hell where they’re forced by demons to dry hump cactus plants and then bath in a dead sea.

Here’s the clip—the notes from YouTube say:

thief (wearing camo hat and resembling dave attelle from insomniac starts a fake tab at the table on other side of the bar. then move to the 2 minute mark and see this punk slide in behind the bald guy and lift a bag and walk out. help find him or at least be weary next time you are out so some shifty, gutless punk doesn’t steal your stuff

Here’s a bit more info from the vic’s press release:

[The thief] hangs out in financial district bars, uses a stolen credit card to open a tab, and then cases the joint. He stole a laptop right out from someone’s chair last week at the Irish Bank. Help catch the thief and prevent further thefts in our neighborhood. You can see him in action on the surveillance video taken at the bar where he last stuck—instructions below. If you see him, please ask the establishment to check his credit card and/or call 911 or the SFPD non-emergency line (415) 553-0123.
