Are you a Tin Can Bros fan interested in seeing more of their genius work? Do you live in/close to the UK or Australia and have you always wanted to see TCB live? Are you disappointed you only became a fan after their run of Spies Are Forever and would you love to see and hear the songs live?
Are you a Team Starkid fan and interested in seeing the creative writing/directing genius of Starkid members Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal, and Corey Richter? Or are you interested in seeing Starkid members Lauren Lopez, Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal, Bryce Charles, Curt Mega, Joe Walker, and possibly more on the stage again?
This is your lucky day! The Tin Can Bros (Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal, and Corey Lubowich) are celebrating their 10 year anniversary with no less than 7 projects (including a run of The Solve It Squad and Live Concert Screenings of Spies Are Forever), in 4 cities across 3 continents (Los Angeles - USA, New York City - USA, London - UK, Edinburgh - Scotland, Adelaide - Australia), and they need your help to make this come to fruition!
They have a kickstarter, the Tinlightenment World Tour (link in the reblog), that they need to get to their goal of 200k dollar in the next 24 days (before March 3rd). They currently have raised 51k so they are just above 25% funded, and we can help them get to 100%!
Still on the fence? If you send me a message with a screenshot of you backing/upping your pledge at least $5, I'll draw you a pixel art doodle of a character of your choice from a Tin Can Bros or Starkid production!

Day 10: Indigenous People’s Past, Present, & Future
“We would like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people who are the traditional custodians of this land on which we are meeting and pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal Nation both past and present. I extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in attendance today. This welcome shows respect for the traditional custodians of the Canberra region where we spent the morning at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.” Michelle Deshong, CEO of the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute, welcomed our class in the traditional way this morning prior to the start of our session.
Ms. Deshong gave us an overview of the diversity of the First Nations of Australia. Before colonization, there were 250 tribal nations. Unfortunately, due to past policies separating Aboriginal children from their families, known as the stolen generation, we are unsure of how many nations remain.
The parallels between our two countries regarding the interactions between westerners and indigenous people are uncannily interchangeable. One notable difference between Native Australians and Native Americans is that the former never utilized treaties to enable their peoples. This lack of empowerment is a primary factor driving their efforts towards nation building: two equal entities having conversations about their best outcomes.
Aboriginals practice a clan-based linear family and governance structure, which is very different than western hierarchical society. While this is foreign to our way of thought, Ms. Deshong encouraged us to “de-colonize” our minds to understand their cultural values and beliefs. From the outside this system may look disorganized, but when you take a step back, you begin to understand the origin of the phrase “it takes a village.”
Ms. Deshong went on to explain how current generations are affected by the decisions of the five generations before us. Therefore, it is important for our generation to consider the next five generations. When you lose these cross generational connections you lose knowledge.
We then took a tour of the Institute where they are archiving thousands of hours of film, audio recordings and pages of documents and books to preserve aboriginal culture. They are also working on developing aboriginal genealogies to help the stolen generation discover their history.
We ended with Ms. Deshong discussing the path towards sovereignty for the first nations of Australia. This means Aboriginals acting as nations by making a decision today, that will impact the next five generations.
After this session, the fellows went out to explore Canberra. Some went to the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum of Australia, Parliament, bike riding, and hiking Mount Ainslie.
“True leadership is only possible when character is more important than authority.” Joseph M. Marshall III, Brule Lakota Sioux Tribe
