GUNS N' ROSES bassist Tommy Stinson checks in with the following update:

"First off, I want to thank all of you who are buying up my t-shirts and buttons. The response has been awesome!!! Also FYI — the availability of the current shirts is limited, as i want to present new designs as often as possible to keep it interesting. You can find everything at this location. I’m also on track to have a new album out by the end of the year.

As I sit here writing this I can’t help but feel a nervous excitement about my trip to Haiti in a couple weeks. I’m going down there to observe what’s going on, and attend the graduation ceremony at Timkatec, the school that all proceeds from my fundraiser are going. I’m asking myself, 'Can I really prepare for what I’m about to witness first-hand?' The good and the bad of it all is that you can’t go more than a few days without hearing how screwed up things are down there. Hopefully the more we all talk about Haiti, the more we will feel like getting involved and helping.

The way I see it, to do anything is doing something helpful, no matter how big or small. They need so much help in so many ways, and they are going to need it for many years to come. I hear Bill Clinton is gonna dedicate his next three years to helping to rebuild Haiti — he still gets my vote.

Upon my return I will be getting my Timkatec fund raiser up and running. I’m looking forward to helping to raise money and awareness for the people of Haiti by auctioning off some great personal items from myself and a couple of my friends, a trip to the Bahamas, and more.
