• “Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who was involved in the creation of this event, and all of the people who came out and showed their support. It was a real honour to be a part of this beautiful night. The spirit of peace and love that we all came together to create and send to Haiti will doubtless have a profound impact, not just on the island itself but on all of our lives here at home as well. Thank you all very much. I am quite sure I will never play another show quite like this one.” – Jdavyd Williams on Facebook event wall

• “I know the final numbers will be great, although I think the feelings of camaraderie and compassion alone were great gifts to CVille and Haiti” – event attendant

• “The event last night was super moving and impressive. I’m stunned at the ability of the graduate students to pull this off and, as always, by the quality of local music in Charlottesville. I personally loved seeing the UVa music department community and the public school first grade community in one garage style performance place for funky arts. The first graders were, of course, fairly certain that this was all about them. There was much excitement setting up their table which displayed as many pictures as possible. They sold the pictures for $5 bucks and explained to anyone who would listen that you could take the picture home or send it to Haiti…” – Bonnie Gordon, parent of two Burnley-Moran first grade artists [excerpt from blog-post by Bonnie]
