I just received word that the house of former Gits drummer Steve Moriarty and his wife Emily Marsh (also a drummer and former Seattlite) caught fire last week. The house was saved, but there is extensive fire and water damage, and the couple lost nearly all their clothing, furniture, and some musical instruments (though not their drums, thankfully). As you know if you read my cover story on the Gits last week, Moriarty has endured more than his share of heartache over the years and Emily Marsh is about as sweet and giving as they come (both Marsh and Moriarty are clinical social workers). The Red Cross is helping them out with a hotel and clothes for now, but a PayPal account has been set up for donations to help them get back on their feet via this website.ht to Brian Foss
