Okay, y'all.
I am part of the "Shoe Crew" for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Piedmont Triad "Wine Women and Shoes" event on May 9. I have pledged to raise $750 for this event. I know that times are tough but the families of the kids in the area hospitals have it rough, too. They need the Ronald McDonald House.

What is Wine Women and Shoes? Well, it's the biggest fundraiser for RMHCPT this year. It's a gala event that features designer pop-ups, a "best-in-shoe" contest, incredible auctions, a fashion show, wine tastings (of course), hors d'oeuvres, and a seated dinner. And it's hosted by Cameron Kent, so you know it's going to be good.

How can you help me raise the $750? Well, you can purchase a ticket to the event, but that's not the only way. Every little bit counts. $5-5000 and everywhere in between. It all helps. You can follow my fundraising link here: rmhcpt.ejoinme.org/Tim
If you are interested in purchasing a ticket to the event, click on the header of my page (the big WW&S logo).

Thank you all in advance if you can donate anything. I am thankful for you, and I know that Ronald McDonald House Charities is too!

This week on The Less Desirables, joined and had a conversation with local music legends

We talked about their history as a band, what they've been up to in recent years, the reunion show coming on January 12 at and what the future holds. Trip, Haydee, Lauren, and Cat were great, and we enjoyed having them in the Studios!

to the British Invasion of 2021 when the incomparable Tony Dagnall and the lovely Amanda Shute Sullivan dropped by TLD on this day last year. Walk down memory lane and get familiar with Tony's music project, My Attention Span!

Tonight, it was OUR HONOR to have Tony Dagnall and Amanda Shute Sullivan on the podcast to talk about My Attention Span, Tony's musical realization. Tony, Amanda, Bethany, Tracy, and Beeman listened to six My Attention Span songs and Tony gave us inside, insight, stories, and general info about them and the project overall. Being as it is Tony, who is a Brit, we had to have a spot of Old Speckled Hen (his was room temperature, how he prefers it).

I can't tell you how pleased I am with my shirts. I am amazed at how comfortable these things are.

I'm a large dude, 6'1"-2" ish and well over 300 lbs. I used the size guide on their website and these things fit perfectly.

I ordered a 5-pack: three V-neck and two "Henleys." I wore one of the Vs on Saturday and it was quite hot outside. I was sweating but the shirt never got soaked and I felt really good all day long.

I don't usually get excited over clothes but I am ecstatic with these. I only got five but I have a trip to Paris coming up and I will most certainly get more for the trip.

Thank you, Fresh Clean Tees for having such a wonderful product. I'm a fan for life!

Because Beeman is a nincompoop, we didn't get the info for last week's show on Facebook. Forgive him, we've robbed some village of its idiot.

Bethany, Izzy, and Do**us Face welcomed Gabriel Higgins on to talk about all the cool and super-dyna-whoppin' things that are happening over at ROAR. From the food concepts to the entertainment concepts to the future plans for live music, Gabe fills us in on what a good time looks like over on North Liberty Street.

Gabe brought CrewTLD some cans of delicious Incendiary Brewing Company nectar to try. And, we played a tune from Dale Cole!
