Turn in the money, redeem yourself

If you haven’t already donated money to help Haiti (or even if you have, but want to donate more), I recommend one of two things:
A) Text the word “HAITI” to 90999. This will give $10 to the Red Cross. The $10 will show up on your cell phone bill. You’ll probably never even notice the $10, but every little bit will help get them through this disaster.
B) Go to the We Can Build An Orphanage homepage (http://wecanbuildanorphanage.com/) and follow the links to donate. This is a charity that was already in the process of building a home for AIDS orphans in Haiti when the earthquake hit.
If you’ve already helped Haiti and are now looking to help yourself, I strongly recommend the INFAMOUS COMMONWEALTH THEATRE’S 5TH ANNUAL 24-HOUR PROJECT going on Saturday night (the 16th) at 8 PM. I will be one of four playwrights on the bill, and Trevor will be one of the musicians. The theme is REDEMPTION, so this will probably make you a better person if you come and watch it.
