DIY me asap 


I'm supposed to be packing up my records and recoating my eyeliner but instead I am in tears. I heard about Sarah Jacobson losing her battle with uterine cancer this morning. 32 years are not enough.

We went to the same high school in Edina Minnesota but I did not meet her until we both lived in San Francisco and she was promoting her feature film Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore. If making films on her own terms isn't impressive enough, there was something about Sarah that I'll never forget.

Her enthusiasm was amazing and infectious. You got the feeling that she could do anything she decided to do. I am dedicating the music I am playing tonight to her. If there's a DIY heaven, then Sarah's a punk rock angel.
