On the 11th annual National Day of Silence (April 18, 2007), Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, NY. Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin's car was vandalized, left with the words "fag" and "u r gay" placed on the hood and driver side of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to embrace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. Erin took her car, now known worldwide as the "Fagbug" on a 58-day trip around the United States and Canada, and filmed a documentary about her experience. The film has been accepted into several International Film Festivals such as Egypt International Film Festival, The Canada International Film Festival, and The Honolulu International Film Festival. LVNMUZIQ wrote the main song for the film called “Back Seat” and they also have two more songs featured in the film. Tegan and Sara and Ember Swift are amongst the many other musicians who also have songs featured in the film. You can read more about Fagbug at www.fagbug.com.
