FYI

From: Sasha Harris-Cronin <[email protected]>
It's another day of lots of Simnuke emails.
I wanted to update you all with the current state of media coverage
per the show and the Simnuke Project itself. The SF Weekly will be
doing an article dedicated to the show, The Guardian will be
featuring it, SFist will be doing a review (and perhaps an interview)
and Nichei Bei Times is interested in covering it as well. I've
included the thank you letter written by Camron Assadi, the
coordinator of the Simnuke Project. It's gotten international
coverage (anyone speak Norwegian?) as well as features in Wired News,
NPR, and Boing Boing. A lot of people came away much more moved and
motivated than they expected to be, which was what everyone was
hoping for.
Everything is looking good!
Thanks again.
sasha.

All,
The Simnuke Team would like to thank you for your support. We are
overjoyed
at how well and safely the event went off. We are recovering, happy
to know
that our message reached an audience. Sharing the 30 second
culmination of
three years of work with all of you has made it all worthwhile.
Thank you to all who attended and helped make this event amazing. A
very big
thanks to those of you that helped us load the truck on Sunday morning!
We very much appreciate the donations that we have received, we could
not do
it without them. That said, the team is still very much in the hole
for this
project, so if you attended and haven't made a donation, or were
thinking of
it, please do! You can paypal your tax-deductible donation to
[email protected] or by clicking the donate button on

From Zoe Keating, the amazing cellist who played right before and
after the simulation, bringing in the sunrise and setting the mood
perfectly:

You can listen to a studio version of the cello music Zoe played at
Simnuke.
From Zoe, "It's still a work in progress, and is not fully mixed or
mastered
yet, but I'd like to share it anyway."
