Someone made this music video for a song by my friend (and fellow journalist) Ben’s band. It looks great. I wish someone would make a Dr. Powerful video.
Anyway, check out the Plaintiffs:

Final Charity Shakedown
July 11, 2008I’m going bald tomorrow! I sincerely thank everyone who has donated to the cause so far (I’ve raised $285 out of a $500 goal) and implore anyone else who has a buck or two to donate to a very worthy cause, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. You can read about them here.
I’d also like to thank everyone who has donated to me. They are:
My aunt, Kim Raphael. Endlessly generous.
Joe Jon Bryant and his wife Stacie. Sanford resident and blog-pal. His donation was in honor of his late friend Jonathan.
Ross Tipton and Lindsay Soebbing. Good friends of mine.
Matthew and Kari Cottle. Friends from the wayback!
Steven Cottle. Twin brother of Matthew Cottle. Also a friend from the wayback!
Adam Thompson. Buddy from Wilmington, NC, honoring his late brother Kevin.
Byron Raphael. My cousin, also undergoing the shears with me.
John C. Holly and wife. Captain of the Lee County Sheriff’s Department drug enforcement team.
Jamie Stamm. My co-worker and friend.
Brooke Wolfe. Ditto what I said about Jamie. Her donation was in honor of her late uncle Lawrence.
Emily Page. Blog-pal and Sanford resident. Her donation was in honor of her friend, the late Olga Horton.
Ty Stumpf. Brain-washing, mind-shaping liberal communist activist.
Kim Pritt. Another blog-pal and Sanford resident.
I think that covers everyone.
Like I said before, no amount is too small. I don’t normally like to ask people for money, unless you’re a former roommate who owes me money, but this is an important cause for me. St. Baldrick’s raises money for childhood cancer research, so there’s no arguing that this is a good thing. It’s fun too!
You can donate on me by clicking here.
The shaving itself happens at Local Joe’s Tap and Grill, 135 S. Steele St. in Sanford between 6 and 11 p.m. on Saturday, July 12. I’d love to have $300 in pledges by the time I walk into Joe’s tomorrow, so if 15 of you who have said you could pledge some cash would just kick in $1 apiece, I can make up the other $200 through hustling the people at Joe’s tomorrow.
Also, it’s not too late to sign up as a shavee! You can do so here. It’s just hair, and you can raise some money for a good cause. Have fun. Live a little.
