Why I Ride – Tour De Cure 2010

Tour de Cure

This year Christina issued a slew of lame excuses and copped out of riding her bike in the Tour de Cure. This would’ve been her third year. Instead, I am picking up the slack. I have committed to getting my fat butt off the couch for at least one day and doing some physical activity all in the name of eventually reducing the amount dollars we spend on “the sugar”. And maybe helping out a lot of research and wonderful things the American Diabetes Association does with the flow I am going to beg from you in three sentences.

How this works is I sign up to ride. I pretend to train by riding my bike occasionally down to the Starbucks, splash my pits with water and ride home to a proud Christina. Then you give money in the hopes [the beg] that I actually can trek 30 miles on my bike. Then I ride on February 28th with a slight detour to a Starbucks, where you can join me, while I wait for the bunch to come back around so I can join to ride back to a proud Christina.

You can help me in this endeavor by clicking the link below and whip out the c-card. Plop down a few bucks and help me fix the diabetris.

Thank You for your support

Tim

P.S. I waited to the last minute for this and am willing hope somebody hook me up with enough to get me over the $150 mark or I don’t get to ride.

On a technical note, I apologize if you got this in more than one email or I added this to your FB spam.

Dread Clampitt At The Plaza

This is where you should be Friday night.

After they clear the wreck that is the Robert Cray Band* from the stage Dread Clampitt will be the best thing to hear in O-Town Friday night. That is right. [must disclose good HS friend and Norse god Balder is the mandolin player].

What the hell do they play. I don’t know. It is the type underground Americana that seems to be the last relic of real rock n roll attitude, preserves of American musical taste and the last batch of truly original musical thinking. But to name it, well, it’s not Britney Spears. Sounds like Bluegrass. Smells like a peach preserved in a jar full of moonshine. Just call it a damn good time and come hang out with me at The Plaza

You wanna taste, here you go. See you there

Dread Clampitt

Oh yeah, there is a main act. Try em here. But come for the Dread.

* Don’t be a d-bag and please note the irony. The fact I know who he is gives enough respect. Back off.

We Are The World [acoustic and way better]

Beats out the Lil’ Wayne inflicted and star studded version that is to raise money for the earthquake wrecked Haiti by a few hours. Beats it in quality too. Much better. Good enough to beat a few more bucks out of my wallet again. Enjoy, and donate.
