It doesn't get much more heartwarming that this. On Friday, October 5, England's Fujiya & Miyagi played a previously reported special show at Chicago's Empty Bottle, prior to their scheduled gig that night. That show was the first of two benefits planned thus far for the Camelot for Kids organization, which aims "to help children with extraordinary needs," including those diagnosed with autism.

For this performance, Fujiya & Miyagi played especially for the very kids Camelot helps. In return, those kids-- inspired by Transparent Things track "Reeboks in Heaven"-- presented the trio with a new pair of the shoes they had all signed. Awwww.

Fujiya & Miyagi have a good month's worth of shows ahead of them, while Busdriver plays the next Camelot for Kids gig at Empty Bottle on November 16. More such shows are expected to follow.
