Some News for Wed Jul 6, 2011
YOUR HELP IS SERIOUSLY NEEDED
The producers of the film Rise And Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story need your help, and the time to step up in NOW.
Using the fund raising site Kickstarter the producers are trying to raise the capital to finish the film.
So far they have gathered $141,669 of the $215,000 goal that was set.
That leaves $73,331 still needed, and 11 days left to do it.
Here is the catch: If they don't hit that full total, they don't get any of the money. It's sink or swim.
Please help them swim.

The idiots at Le Coq Sportif should be hung, drawn, and quartered. The shirts get worse and worse every year. Is that actually a keeper shirt?
soooo...when soccer 'makes it' in the US we'll see a camo version for every team!
