The concert in Rio Negro in Medellin Colombia was canceled due to heavy rain in the area which is causing flooding. It&#8217;s been one of the wettest &#8220;winters&#8221; on record in South America and the result is many, many people on flood plains and near rivers have lost their homes. Just goes to show you that disaster comes in many forms, big and small and if you don&#8217;t hear about something, it doesn&#8217;t make it any less real.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how to help out but I do know that the good people of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visionmundial.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>Vision Mundial<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (AKA &#8220;World Vision&#8221; in the U.S.) do a great work here in Colombia (and all over) for people in need and are a good start.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, a bit of better news, the fine people from the <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thebotsband.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bots<\/a><\/strong><\/em> sent me some photos that, how should we say are a little better quality than my little BS digital that I used last summer at the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.afropunk.com\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong> Afro-Punk Festival<\/strong><\/em><\/a> in Brooklyn (damn, now why was I so lazy not to bring out the big guns, the Sony or the Cannon?).\u00a0 Oh, and they have the additional benefit of being from this year&#8217;s warped tour.. so not only are they of better quality, they are more timely as well.. so my good fortune is yours. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bots on the warped tour.. Thanks Emily for the fine pics.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2309 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/224326_2020368226185_1153302200_2499750_643100_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/224326_2020368226185_1153302200_2499750_643100_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/230751_2020369506217_1153302200_2499757_2348674_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/230751_2020369506217_1153302200_2499757_2348674_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/225527_2020383786574_1153302200_2499790_3208412_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/225527_2020383786574_1153302200_2499790_3208412_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/225601_2020370346238_1153302200_2499761_154304_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/225601_2020370346238_1153302200_2499761_154304_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/222895_2020382946553_1153302200_2499787_2288645_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/222895_2020382946553_1153302200_2499787_2288645_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/229376_2020373986329_1153302200_2499775_1631459_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/punkoutlawblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/229376_2020373986329_1153302200_2499775_1631459_n-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After a brief stop in Miami I&#8217;m back in my new home away from home,\u00a0 Medellin, Colombia, and just in time too as there is, tadaahhh&#8230; a big punk show on Sunday which I&#8217;ll be hitting and if you happen to be here, you should too.
