Benefit for Austin Musician (and Last-Minute Shopping Chance!) Tonight
Thursday, December 20
Moxie and the Compound (909 W Mary St)
Free, 6-10pm
[info]
Tonight's your perfect chance to help out one of our own: local uninsured musician Chris Neale faces staggering medical bills after undergoing an emergency operation to remove a ten-pound tumor from his stomach back in October. To help offset some of this financial burden, friend of Austinist Marisa Wall has organized a stellar fundraiser taking place at Moxie and the Compound this evening, with support from a bevy of local businesses.
From 6 to 10 p.m., you can bid on original art created specifically for this benefit (think: "Baberaham Lincoln Lactates a Log Cabin"), as well as a selection of gift certificates (Uchi, Hotel San Jose, the Belmont, KGSR, Kerbey Lane, Adelante Boutique), massage packages, and more. DJs Orion and Andy (The Mouth) will spin dance-friendly tunes, and all proceeds go directly to helping Neale out.
