The Tosh.0 Marathon - this is SO FUNNY!

OK running friends (and some of of that are not but have a great sense of humor) - I do not send out a lot of "joke" links but this is seriously one of the funniest thing I have ever seen - the dialog is a little PG-13 at the beginning, but the video of this race is so funny I could not stand to keep it to myself. I MUST figure out how to have one of these!

Books

"Like money, books must be kept in constant circulation. Lend and borrow to the maximum - of both books & money! But especially books, for books represent infinitely more than money. A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. When you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold."
- Henry Miller

'Bubbles for Berrys’ fundraiser Dog Wash Saturday!

This is from my friend Keri Carter - it looks like a very worthwhile event in West U!

Bubbles for Berrys' fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, July 16

A dog-wash fundraiser has been organized to benefit the children of car crash victims, Robin and Joshua Berry.

"Bubbles for Berrys" will take place Saturday, July 16, at Little Matt's, 6213 Edloe St., in the West University neighborhood, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Volunteers are needed for the dog-washing crew, as well as dirty dogs to be washed.

"I heard that the Berrys' have two dogs," said event organizer Tracy Pesikoff. "I believe that dogs bring hope and smiles, and this family needs all the hopes and smiles they can get."

Pesikoff said she doesn't know the Berry children, Peter, 9, Aaron, 8, and Willa, 6, who were injured in the July 2 car crash that tragically killed their parents; she is, however, friends with their aunt, Simone Berry, who is married to the kid's uncle, Matt Berry, who now has legal custody of Peter, Aaron and Willa.

"So many people in the community feel like they want to do something. This is something I needed to do," said Pesikoff.

The fundraiser gives the opportunity to involve children and adults, she said.

Organizers will bring the supplies. Little Matt's is providing the space and water.

Proceeds will be donated to the Joshua and Robin Berry Children's Trust. For information, contact Pesikoff at 713-294-3312 or tpesikoff@yahoo.com.

Ringwalds this Fri. - final Mixers show @HMNS!

We have a birthday party tonight, but if you have never been to this it is tons of fun - and of course, so are the Ringwalds!

Hi Ringwald fans!

This is the final year of Mixers & Elixirs at the Museum of Natural Science, and the Ringwalds are opening the series this Fri. July 8 from 7-10 pm. The "Oh My Pocket Pie" and "MMM Cupcake" food trucks will be parked outside, and there'll be plenty of booze inside, assuming you make it to the bar before Carrie Ringwald.  We're expecting over 1,000 guests in attendance, and tickets are $15.  Here's a link to the Museum's web page for more info:  http://www.hmns.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=382&Itemid=356

 
The Ringwalds are staying busy these days, playing a lot of weddings, corporate events, and fundraisers.  We don't currently have any public shows scheduled after the Museum gig this Friday, so if you wanna see us, this may be your last chance for a while!

Hope to see you out somewhere soon.

- The Ringwalds
