On Monday, there were multiple Haiti benefit events in Austin. This Sunday, there will be another one, which is going to be huge. This event is called Help Austin Help Haiti, and it is benefiting The Clinton-Bush Fund and OXFAM.

The event takes place at Austin Music Hall and runs from 2 p.m. to midnight. You can buy your ticket online for $28 or pay $33 at the door. The following bands are scheduled to play, and it is anticipated even more will sign up:

• Asleep at the Wheel
• Band of Heathens
• Bob Schneider
• Bruce Robison
• Charlie Sexton
• The Flatlanders
• The Gourds
• Guy Forsyth
• Jack Ingram
• Joe Ely Band
• Kelly Willis
• Kinky Friedman
• Patricia Vonne
• Paula Nelson
• Ray Wylie Hubbard
• Reckless Kelly
• Robert Earl Keen
• Shawn Colvin

I have also noticed that Whole Foods has boxes next to the registers where you can drop in cash or coins. I think it's fantastic that Austinites and Austin businesses are being so generous. What are you doing to help?
