paypal some love

Scott Giampino, ex of Touch and Go/The Showbox in Seattle, is one of the nicest people I can think of, so perhaps you might paypal him some dollares to get him, Ali and Max back on their feet:
“As most of you know, Scott and Ali Giampino were victims of an arson
fire at their Lake Forest Park home last night. Shortly before 1 am, Ali
awoke to sounds of broken glass and fire engulfing their home. Blessedly,
they and their son Max escaped unharmed in what must have been an absolutely terrifying couple of minutes. Their two cats, their possessions, and their home did not fare as well – they have lost virtually everything.
They are fully insured and will eventually be able to replace their lost
possessions. In the meantime, there is a Paypal account being set up for donations by credit card. The email address to send funds to is dmopbox-giampinofund@yahoo.com.
Temporary housing accommodations have been arranged and the Capitol Hill
branch of Sonic Boom Records and The Showbox are also currently accepting
donations. Since they are without a home, the most useful donations are
monetary, gift certificates, and good thoughts. Max could sure use some
clothing – he wears a size 4T or 5T (like his daddy, he’s big for his age).
Toys and books would be useful, as well. The little guy is down with
Clifford The Big Red Dog, Tonka trucks, and stuff that is cool. Seeing that
little bug on the news was enough to make me want to buy him Disneyland if
he wants it.
There are multiple benefits in the works so keep an eye out for details.
Since moving here from Chicago two years ago, the Giampinos have quickly
become beloved members of this community. I know I speak for everyone when I say we are all damn lucky they are still with us today. It’s not gonna be good times replacing Scott’s records or Ali’s beautiful perfume decanter collection but we’re all sure thankful they are alive.
