Help My Friend Earl- and in doing so you could win a pedal

Super pumped that this is rolling a bit.

Earl recently had a contest to name his tumor, the winner was Honey Badger, he has a great attitude about what is going on.




Usually ILF is pretty good about stuff like this so I thought I would throw it out there.

Earl is an old friend who used to put on Shows in the CNY area before he moved to GA
not sure if anyone from CNY made it to an Earlfest in the early 2000s but it was a beast.

Now he needs real help to battle cancer and prepare for his first Child.

In an effort to encourage some donations if you donate any money
I will enter you to win a pedal, Doesn't have to be a big donation, any amount will do.


RIght now I have a Dirge Noise Ensemble, I will give away.
And a Jero Modded Death Metal
Give em away separate to two lucky ILFers



If we raise Enough I will pay skully to re-house the noise ensemble with art of your choice (at my cost)

I will close out entries in about a month.
There are two ways to give, you can use the give forward link below, or you can send me money Via Paypal.
Give forward is a bit of a pain with small donations, and with paypal you have to trust me a bit..........
The Give forward is below.

Thanks, hoping we do, have a few local bands that may be able to help me put on a benefit concert as well.

Glad to be able to do anything to help, can't imagine battling cancer and at the same time getting ready for a baby.

quick update:
No surgery, they are recommending going straight to chemo.
This may take Earl's beard, that sucks.

Hey Fuzzheads.

Give hbomb your money. To give to Earl.

I just gave a paltry amount, and if everyone gives a paltry amount it will be collectively awesome. Never underestimate the power of the fuzz!

I saw this earlier and I want to but I'm pretty much broke right now and the future is looking really insecure job and money wise... :(
Also, this thing that you have to register to make the donation is quite bothersome but I guess you can skip that if you forward the money to hbomb.
Updated my BST, I'll donate all the money from the first sub €100 pedal that sells to hbomb's friend Earl!

Tristan, that is flipping awesome Thanks!

And yeah, donating to me is way easier, and I am just going to send him a check with a care package in a few weeks.
