Tsunami Relief

Dear Friends of Garden State:

I have donated one of Natalie's main costumes from the movie along with the "Red Gas Nozzle" that my character finds in the gas tank of his car to a charity auction on ebay.  The charity benefits the victims of the Tsunami through UNICEF.  I realize the auction is a bit steep for many of you, but if you know anyone who can afford to contribute to this important cause, please let them know about it.

You can find the auction by clicking on this link HERE, or by going to ebay and entering the keywords "Tsunami Benefit Peapod".

As we say in New Jersey,  "Thank You"

xoxo

Posted by: lisa | Feb 12, 2005 9:29:42 PM

i didnt read this post before comment because, well, i was afraid of not being the first to comment. anyway, i think what you are doing for unicef is awesome.

Posted by: lisa, again | Feb 12, 2005 9:31:55 PM

That is so generous of you, Zach! Every little thing helps.

Are you doing anything to help the victims in Darfur? Just wondering.

Peace and love--

Posted by: Paige Gresty | Feb 12, 2005 9:32:37 PM

man I wish I could bid on that stuff.

Zach you rock! I turn 18 on March 2nd. You should send me a letter, or something. Like yourself. Or let me be on your show! Or just wish me a happy birthday. that would be awesome.

Posted by: Kristin | Feb 12, 2005 9:35:16 PM

That's awesome!! If I could afford it, you know I'd contribute. And I'm glad you're updating more frequently. BTW...Arrested Development is a kick butt show.

Posted by: Rosemary | Feb 12, 2005 9:35:30 PM

Hey! I've been reading this thing all along and this is my first time commenting..there actually aren't a million comments already! Zach I think you're amazing, I truely loved Garden State and I make everyone watch it when they come to my house. Scrubs is one of my favorite shows and I think you're hugely talented. I can't afford to buy that stuff but I've already donated what I can to help out, it's awesome that so many people are getting involved! Keep up the great work, the previews for Chicken Little are getting me really excited ^_^ Love you man!!!

Posted by: Jenny | Feb 12, 2005 9:35:31 PM

While I'd love to donate a thousand dollars or more to a worthy cause, I simply don't have that kind of money. However, I've been able to give what I can to Unicef. They're a great organization, not only for its relief efforts for victims of the tsunami, but also for its dedication to saving the world's children.

Posted by: Lae | Feb 12, 2005 9:36:16 PM

Zach,
Great to hear from you again and good work on your efforts to make a difference concerning the tsunami tragedy. I am very enthusiastic about all of your upcoming projects (especially Arrested Development). I will definitely check them all out. Garden State is such an awesome movie, with quite a devoted following here in Utah of all places. Good luck with your upcoming work, and look forward to hearing from yyou again soon.

Posted by: Kris Edwards | Feb 12, 2005 9:36:56 PM

holy crap im in the top 10 comments. i better hurry before more people comment.

you rock.

host snl.

Posted by: aria | Feb 12, 2005 9:37:48 PM

Zach my dear-

How amazing of you to do that! Proving once again that you are one of my favorite people ever. If I had the money, the nozzle would be mine.

I came to look at the blog tonight because I can't sleep. The day after tomorrow is the dreaded Valentine's Day. Being single (and in highschool) I can say I pretty much abhor the entire day. So much that I can't sleep. Pretty weird huh? I just thought I would tell you about it. Maybe you could share your thoughts on the day. All of my friends and my family really get into it and I have no one who feels what I do. So I hoping that on the off chance you are not fond of it either.

Look at me, spilling out my guts. I should probably try and sleep...meh.

As for songs to listen too (people leave comments all the time and I never have anything worth posting until now)
The Killers: All These Things That I've Done

Keep being your amazing self!

Love and a Fluffy Pillow,
Katie Z.

your 'down-to-earthness' continues to impress me zach. keep up the good work.

p.s. chicks dig exaggerated features

Posted by: Joey | Feb 12, 2005 9:39:16 PM

I think that what your doing is such an awsome gesture... Almost two months later since it happened and I hope that no one has forgot about the continuing efforts to help out. I loved GS and the soundtrack has opened my eyes to new music. I was wondering what else you have been listening to...

Posted by: Ashley | Feb 12, 2005 9:41:07 PM

that is such a brilliant idea! you know, there are so many times when i sit back and look at what we've done to our world and how we treat each other so unequally, with fighting and violence and hatred and it makes me sad for a minute as i consider the thought that we're ruining this beautiful gift we've been given, and then disaster strikes and rather then falling even deeper, i see people pulling together once again. it's really amazing to witness two supposed enemies banding together to aid another. it's as though we've been given an instinct to help our fellow man in need, regardless of our angers. thank you for being part of this saving mission for the tsunami victims. hopefully it will make others realize the importance of unity and sacrifice.

Posted by: morgan | Feb 12, 2005 9:41:58 PM

What a brilliant idea. Thanks for contributing to such a great cause. If I had the money, I'd bid. Maybe I will just to rack up the price.
Also, I must add a huge thank you for staying so true to us fans. This blog really makes such a difference. Oh, and that CALL-TURK phone number? Genius! That's such a cool way to encorporate the fans. "Scrubs" is everything I enjoy in a 30-minute show and congrats on snagging such an awesome and, I'm sure, rewarding job. You look like you're having a blast. I wish you all the very best and keep up the outstanding work. And as lisa said before me, "thanks for reading my comment."

Posted by: Claire | Feb 12, 2005 9:42:22 PM

Wow, That's a really awsome thing you are doing Zach. I know you'll make a good amount to donate. Mad props to ya!

Posted by: Marisa B. | Feb 12, 2005 9:43:51 PM

I'm the current high bidder for the gas pump!!!! YEAH!!!! Hope to get it!
Lots of love everyone,
Sandra

Posted by: Sandra | Feb 12, 2005 9:45:46 PM

i just wanted to add, after rereading my post, that i'm not saying that we are supposed enemies of the tsunami victims, but other countries over there that were at war with each other have banded together to help out. just wanted to clear that up.

Posted by: morgan | Feb 12, 2005 9:46:54 PM

Hey Zach-that's awesome! Know what else is awesome? Your movie, Garden State ;). I know you hear it all the time, but you really do rock...I think itz kewl that you like black and white photography. Peace out yo ;)

Posted by: Kellie | Feb 12, 2005 9:49:20 PM

You're awesome, Zach.

Mad love for ya!

Maddie :)

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

Posted by: Anna | Feb 12, 2005 9:49:55 PM

That's just amazing man. You've got a heart of gold.

Love you babe.

word braah.

Posted by: Keeeeeeeristy | Feb 12, 2005 9:51:14 PM

It's awesome that you get to help like the victims with an auction. I hope that it will raise a lot of money for a great cause.

I've said it so many times in other posts, but i love you. Thanks for your movie, it's helped me through many tough times, including the loss of a friend and a tranistion into my future.

Remember to breathe sometime within all of your work!

Thank YOU. If I wasn't broke, I'd be all over that gas pump and costume.

Posted by: kelsie | Feb 12, 2005 9:52:55 PM

That's very nice of you. We gave the Red Cross some money (not Natalie-Portman's-costume-amount-of-money) but money none-the-less

Looking forward to seeing you on Arrested Developement and Scrubs
