Studio 60 Fans Raise Funds to Thank Show & Support Tipitina’s Foundation
As Wes Mendel said, “Art is getting its ass kicked,” be it Studio 60 or the New Orleans musicians still wrapped up in the still continuing struggles of Katrina.
To this end, a large international group of fans is trying to raise funds to place an advertisement in the LA Times Entertainment Section on Thursday 28th June, which is when the final episode is due to air. The quarter-page ad will cost approximately $5,000. There’s more information over at http://thanks2studio60.livejournal.com.
The text on the advert will be simple – just a thank you, nothing nasty aimed at NBC (no matter how much we’d like to! – we don’t want to come across as honey-crusted nut bars!), and will also feature details of how to donate to Tipitina’s Foundation.
For anyone unfamiliar with Tipitina’s, the Foundation was featured in The Christmas Show. The mission of the Tipitina’s Foundation is to restore New Orleans’ irreplaceable music community and preserve the state’s unique musical culture. We are currently working with the Foundation to create a specific page on their site where friends of Studio 60 will be able to make donations. More information about this will be coming soon.
Thanks in advance for your support.
