Chip Benefit in NYC 12.12.10 at the Lakeside Lounge
$20 suggested donation
Hi folks,
What an amazing show of support has already come down for Chip. And what an amazing night of music we had here in Raleigh! Despite his lameness, Chip played with Al for the better part of his set, and also played a few on his own (well with some help from his friends), then went on to play a late night set with the Vibekillers at Slim’s. I think all in attendance will agree it was a night to remember for always—and it’s all caught on film, so keep checking back here for more information about where to look for clips and, eventually, a DVD.
Meanwhile, a few copies of Raymond Goodman’s amazing limited edition photograph remain (this photo is shown below—it’s Chip with the red shoes and the bicycle). These are 13x19 archival prints, and a total of 20 have been printed. We guarantee delivery by Christmas (while supplies last) to anyone donating $50 or more before December 13th. We’ll do our best to let you know here the moment they run out. But really, the prize isn’t the reason to give Chip fifty bucks. It’s all about, well, you know, it’s just about CHIP. He’s Chip for Chrissakes.
Big love from the Raleigh benefit crew. Keep your eyes peeled for details about an upcoming New York benefit for Mr. Robinson.
Yes, absolutely. We will extend the deadline for Xmas shipping a bit into December.
Just make a note with your donation letting us know where you’d like the print to be shipped.
Thank you!
Many of you have written to say, “I can’t be there, but I’d like to help.” Now you can. A secure donation can be made from the “Make a Donation” page on this site. All funds will go directly to Chip to help with medical and living expenses.
The first 20 people to donate $50 or more before midnight on Saturday 11/20 will receive a numbered 13x19 print of Raymond Goodman’s photograph of Chip with bike in a Carolina field, which is featured on this page. Only 20 prints of this fabulous photo will be made available.
Please click on “add special instructions to the seller” and include an alternate address if you would like the photo mailed to an address different than that which appears with your PayPal or credit card billing info. We promise delivery for Christmas if your donation is made before the 11/20 deadline.
Thank you from the Raleigh for Robinson team.
