Benefit at King Kong Sushi

My friend Terri Culler recently told me about a misfortune that fell upon a mutual friend. Since I got tired of messing with Facebook on this - I decided to post the benefit Benefit information here. Here's wishing Scott a speedy recovery - and attend Thursday at King Kong Sushi if you can.

Description

Hi all. As you may know, Crystal's best friends boyfriend, Scott, got hurt extremely bad while on vacation in Tampa, Florida a couple weeks ago. He fell four stories and broke numerous ribs, vertabraes, hip and punctured a lung. His girlfriend Kristen is getting a benefit together to help raise money for Scott and his medical bills as they have no insurance. Plus, Kristen has to pay the bills for both of them now. Scott cannot work now and Kristen is only working part time at Hooters as she is going to college for early childhood education teacher. She is in her Junior year and currently interning at one of the local schools. Scott has a long road ahead of him and not expected to walk for 4-6 weeks. Please try to attend if you can and help support Kristen's efforts for Scott. They need our help and support. Below is what Kristen has on the event:

King Kong at Broadway at the Beach on 21st ave N in Celebrity Square is hosting the benifit on Thursday at 7:30 pm. There is going to be a beer pong and corn hole tournament. It is $5.00 to enter $10.00 to play in the tournament. All of the proceeds go directly towards Scott's hospital bill. Please invite anyone you want to as the more support and people, the better the turnout. King Kong will be running beer specials. You will sign up your teams and pay at the front door. Now I bet you want to know about the prizes right? So far , we have a free cut/shampoo/color at Kreations, $50.00 bar tab at the TUNNEL, Bar tab for the Tavern and Mind as Well, Dixie Stampede Christmas show tickets, Hooters Wing Party, Captain Georges Gift Certificate, One Punch gym membership, golf packages... among numerous other awesome prizes!! We are going to have winners for both beer pong and corn hole. Therefore the two partners who win are going to have an awesome prize basket that amounts to over $300.00 in prizes! PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS TOP SECRET DO NOT TELL SCOTT ANYTHING!

Paws to the Rescue Benefit

Had a blast in Marion, though I was surprised to see that the turnout wasn't full-force for the Marion County Animal Shelter. But we're grateful to John Gallo for having us, and look forward to working with the Carolina Entertainment Complex again soon.

Above is the changed-up poster, as Abbey Road and Satisfaction pulled out at the last minute (who cares). We had fun with Gabbie Rae, Southern Blue and Sequoyah Prep School, nonetheless. Daughter Taylor is a fan of theirs now, and I am happy she came with us to the event.

Here's the TV spot, although not our current lineup in the pic:

Also here's Sick Stooges doing "Rock and Roll All Night." We're stealing your fans, Jonas Brothers!

PAWS TO THE RESCUE!

Here's more on that upcoming event at the Carolina Entertainment Complex:

SICK STOOGES UPDATES

Happy to report that Sick Stooges are still rocking the Coast with gigs almost weekly, and working during the "off season" is a blessing, indeed.

A while back, we had to say farewell to bassist/vocalist Steve Panetti so that he could be more present with his family. Very talented cat, that Steve.


But after auditioning several guys to fill that void, we were happy indeed to count Tim Hoback as a Sick Stooge. Tim's a talented musician, has been a working musician for many years - has a wicked funny sense of humor - and is a lefty like drummer Barry Allen. Right-handed guitarists watch out for a bass neck where you don't expect it!

Welcome, Tim Ho!


So we continue to "Stoogify" the Grand Strand and beyond. Most recently we took a road trip to Wilmington, playing a local venue down there called Kefi. Great folks work there, and a supportive and energetic crowd was on hand, especially the second night.

Here are some highlights:




We're still rocking like we're in high school - and will never grow up!

See www.sickstooges.com for a full listing of shows and appearances.

In April, we'll be playing with tribute bands Abbey Road and Satisfaction at the Carolina Entertainment Complex in Marion - and look for us on Fox's "Not the News" in support of that event.

The Grand Strand is a magical place.

Holidaze but no Malaise

Phew. All of that planning and preparation - and now the New Year is upon us. I'm borrowing my brother Chris' phrase - "Pressing the big reset button for the upcoming year."

Thanksgiving. Birthday for Wesley and Taylor. Christmas. Whoa - was that a blur or what.

Add to that regular Sick Stooges shows and Weekly Surge and my day job at Tinder Box and it's a wonder everything went off as well as it did.

Oh yeah - and managed to squeeze in my fair share of reveling too. (Had to pencil THAT in, right?) The house needs some front loaders because the wrecking ball has been and gone, leaving a wake of disorganization and debris.

Halloween Follies

My kids had a blast on Halloween. I had a blast on Halloween with Sick Stooges. Girlfriend Brenda had a blast on Halloween. We all had bloody blasts!

Here are some pix:







More to come!
