From arty's fb page, nice to see djs do some nice things

Have received this sad story couple of days ago and I thought I should give it a shout to show my support of this poor fan:

"Hello! My name is Miho Nakamura. I'm reaching out to you through this email because I am hoping you'll read this.

I have a good friend that I met this year at EDC Chicago. His name is Zach Paluch. We met on the Saturday of that weekend and instantly connected. Due to my phone being stolen we didn't get to see each other the next day, but after the fact we found that we were both at Arty's set.

Since EDC Chicago, Zach and I have become very good friends. We attended Spring Awakening Music Festival in Chicago together with other friends, and traveled to Toronto for Veld Music Festival in August with the same group. Throughout the past few months, Zach and I have talked at length about our favorite DJs, artists, and other passions and interests, and I have to say, Zach is extremely passionate about Arty and his music.

It was extremely shocking and horrifying to hear that on early Monday morning Zach was found injured and unconscious on the Knox College campus, where he is a baccalaureate fellow. He has been in a coma since then.

It would mean so much to Zach, to Zach's friends and family, and to me and the friends Zach and I have made together at these festivals, if you could give a personal well-wishing to Zach for a quick recovery. He loves your music so much and was too excited to see you throw down at EDC Chicago, and I know if Zach's able to hear his friends telling him that you are rooting for him too, it will give him just that much more strength to wake up."

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Zachary! I really hope you will recover soon to live the full life again... And big respect to Miho for being such a great friend.
