Like everyone else, we were heartbroken by the devastation that hit Haiti last week and thought what can we do. Before we can even begin to think we received a message from our friend Emma Snowdon-Jones about putting together a benefit. She had contacted her friend Nigel Barker who has actually shot a film on Haiti and in the past held a fundraiser to build a school there and the ball was rolling. We secured a venue with 1OAK and our friend Eve Salvail, also known as DJ Evalicious agreed to spin. We decided to hold a silent auction/online auction at the same time and the items came pouring in as well. So if you are in New York this Thursday won’t you stop by 1OAK from 9 to 11, if you can’t stay, make a donation. All proceed are going to EDEYO and Concern Worldwide. We are suggesting a donation of $40 at the door. There will be surprise performances and we have a pretty star studded committee including: Gabriel Byrne, Terry George, Estelle, Emma Snowdon-Jones, Scott Buccheit, Nigel Barker, Amy Sacco, Anne Vincent, Ranjana Khan, Gillian Hearst, Phillip Bloch, Danielle Thur, Scott Sartiano, Bettina Prentice, Richie Akiva, Ronnie Madra, Jeffrey Jah, Thom Felicia, David Barton and Constantine Maroulis.

Yesterday, Constantine tweeted:

And he attached this photo to his tweet:

Will the golden locks be a part of the auction at this event?
