My name is Binki Shapiro, and I play in the band Little Joy. In an effort to raise money for the relief efforts in earthquake-devastated Haiti, I’ve rallied a bunch of artists to contribute custom-made artwork — t-shirts, tote bags and other personalized items — for the Crafts For A Cause auction. All proceeds will go to Artists for Peace and Justice, an amazing charitable organization founded by my dear friend Paul Haggis.
One item up for auction is the infamous “Shapes” painting from Parks and Recreation’s “The Camel” signed by Aziz Ansari, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aubrey Plaza, Paul Schneider, Nick Offerman and Chris Pratt.
This post lists information relating to “We Are the World — 25 for Haiti,” a benefit song for Haiti relief. Rashida Jones was one of the song’s performers, while her father, Quincy Jones, was an organizer.

OK, hypothetically if you’re going on a mission to, say, catch a guilty whale. And while you were catching the whale, you saw something else that may also be another whale, and you were like, “What?” But then you thought, “Maybe it’s not a whale. Maybe it’s a big fish, maybe it’s a submarine with a face painted on it.” The point is if I kill the first whale, am I technically a murderer?
Though Knope Knows is and will continue to be an ad-free site for Parks and Recreation fans, we have embedded a donation button through PayPal by which readers can help defray the cost of site operations. And, of course, any remaining balance will go towards prize contests and other fun stuff. Thanks!
