Many of you do still want to participate in the Skye Dailor Remembrance Day Project, so I’m going to re-post info from the original post with some minor changes/updates:

The Skye Dailor Remembrance Day Project - September 1st

Every year here at Fuck Yeah Mastodon, we observe Skye Dailor Remembrance Day, where fans share how Mastodon’s music has saved them from depression and suicide. September 1st, 1990 was the day that Brann’s sister Skye took her own life after suffering from years of abuse, sickness, and bullying. Last year, there was a tremendous response to this event, so I have decided to bring it back for this year. That way, we can go into The Hunter era with a little less baggage.

WAYS TO REMEMBER SKYE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST:

• Wear Something Yellow. Yellow was Skye’s favorite color, so a shirt or accessory in yellow will work.
• Play the song “Crack the Skye” or the entire album.
• If you are religious, offer prayers for the Dailor family.

For those of you who want to dig a little deeper, write a letter to Brann explaining how Mastodon’s music has helped you in your own “daily storm”, and don’t be afraid to get personal. A few good-sized paragraphs will do. Once you have written this letter, there are two ways that you can submit it to this site:

• Submit your letter to http://fuckyeahmastodon.tumblr.com/submit,
  
• Post the letter to your personal blog with the tag “Skye Dailor”.

All letters will be posted or re-blogged on September 1st.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Brann does read the content on this site, so PLEASE think about what’s going into your letter before you write and submit it.
