Day 848 (10/27/09) Double R is Homeless!

Day 848 (10/27/09) Double R is Homeless!

The morning started with us checking in with Double R, as he is doing a “Double R Challenge” where he spends the night homeless with Mono-Nick…when we picked up the phone first thing this morning, you could hear that Double R was hurting…he was freezing cold, and shared with us stories about what it was like last night. Dub posted some Facebook status updated…here are a couple of them:

Today's the day! I've been called out by a homeless guy..."try walking a mile in my shoes!" well tonight I will! I'm going to sleep on the streets of Seattle then panhandle to raise $ for the shelter! Stay tuned to my page for homeless updates! –RR

Dude! This homeless experience has been unbelievable! Sorry for the delay... Just thought I'd lose homeless cred if I busted out an iPhone! Been down by the jungle! Under I90! Dearborn and Rainier! Hood! So far mononick looks shocked!

Made some new friends! With some incredible stories of drugs and violence! Funny how we come to learn lessons in life! I think the key is to absorb the mistakes that others have made!

Climbing into bed in downtown Seattle. It's freezing but at least I'm dry! Gotta get some rest. Hope not to get robbed, killed or urinated on whilst sleeping. Goodnight. Brrrrr!

This morning we talked about an email from a parent who is having issue with her 16 year old daughter because her daughter wants to wear a sexy Halloween costume…this is just crazy…all of agreed with her parent that she shouldn’t let her daughter dress like a skank. Halloween is so strange…women always say, “It’s the one day of the year that we can dress like sluts.” This theory blows my mind…these are probably the same chicks that on any other night when they are out will goof on chicks that dress slutty when in the clubs. We then learned that there are costumes that specifically made for “tweens” & granted I’m no parent, but why would a parent be ok with a 12 year old wearing costumes like this!

That last one kills me…it’s a French maid costume for “tweens”…last I checked, the idea of a “French Maid” is a sexual one…why would you let your 12 year old dress like a French Maid!!!!!

This photo was sent to us by Chad…how disturbing is this…this is Noah Cyrus, Miley’s 9 year old sister…seriously…what is the world coming to? She is 9 going on 21 in this outfit…sick!

Thanks to Gareth Von Kallenbach from Skewed & Reviewed -- www.sknr.net for joining us with a winter movie preview...here is what we talked about:

WINTER MOVIE PREVIEW

"A Christmas Carol" - Nov 6th.
A "Christmas Carol" appears to be visually stunning and artistically complicated. The film stars the ever-animated Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge, and a variety of other roles, along with a cast including Cary Elwes, Colin Firth, and Gary Oldman. The use of motion capture seems to blur the lines between reality and fiction in a manner not yet seen in feature films. Moreover, the extensive focus on recreating England as it was during Dicken's lifetime makes this not only a film for 3D fans, but one for the history buffs as well. Director Robert Zemeckis is at the helm.

"2012" - Nov. 13th
Director Roland Emmerich who crafted the hits "Stargate" and "Independence Day" has brought an epic look at the end of the world. With John Cusack and Thandie Newton onboard this a must see if only for the lavish visual effects.

"The Twilight Saga; New Moon" - Nov. 20th
Unless you have been living in a cave, you would be hard pressed to not know about this film which is the second in the hugely popular Twilight series. This time out Edward (Robert Pattinson), and Bella (Kristin Stewart), find their forbidden love threatened by new factors. Expect this to be huge.

"The Princess and the Frog" - Dec. 11th
The latest animated offering from Walt Disney features a young girl and her frog set during the Jazz era of New Orleans. The creative talents behind "Aladdin" have returned and the film is said to embrace the old hand drawn methods of animation.

"Avatar" - Dec 18th.
"Titanic" James Cameron returns with this lavish film which tells of a soldier played by Sam Worthington caught in a battle between humans and a planets native populace. The film not only has the lavish Cameron visuals but state of the art 3D techniques that Cameron himself helped create.

"Sherlock Holmes" - Dec 25th
Robert Downey Jr. stars with Jude Law in this new take on the classic sleuth. Director Guy Ritchie has mixed humor and action to bring the latest telling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic character to life. Look for a rumored cameo by Brad Pitt as the future nemesis Moriarty.

Other films of interest...

Peter Jackson spins a tale of a young girl trying to help her family solve her murder from beyond in "The Lovely Bones" Dec 11th.

We got an update from the Rev about "finishing a workout" with his lady friend...if you recall last week we asked the Rev to refrain from "working out" by himself to see if that is what was holding him back from being able to "finish" his "workout" with his lady friend. On saturday, the two of them decided to "work out" & the Rev was able to "finish" his "workout" -- congrats buddy!!!!

Check these pix out...My bud Joe from college (Plattsburgh State University in New York) sent pix from 1993 of me working at our college radio station WPLT (now WQKE)...check me out rocking a Primus T-Shirt!!!!!

Today's Video Blog features our trip to Voula's Off Shore Cafe yesterday, as we hung with Sikey, Niko & the rest of the staff...everyone there is awesome, and the food is amazing...get the Greek Hobo! We even got a surprise phone call from Guy Fieri of "Diners, Drive In's, and Dives" (Food Network) while there. Check them out at www.voulasoffshore.com

Thanks to everyone for coming to our 10 Year Anniversary Party at the Snoqualmie Casino…what a great night. There were around 1000 Rockaholics & members of the H-Hole Army that came out Friday night & it was an amazing night!!!!!

This email is pretty cool…it’s Mike’s review of the night!

I just wanted to drop you all a quick line thanking you for an absolutely kick-ass time last Friday at the 10th anniversary party, it was a blast!

I also wanted to especially thank you all for being so cordial and giving of your time by hanging out after “the show” was over to talk and sign autographs. I was able to get my picture signed by all six current members of the show; which is something I was not anticipating being able to accomplish. Even as the Snoqualmie staff were putting away the tables and cleaning the room, you guys hung until the room cleared and had visited with everyone who wanted to…even Toppy!

I have been a fan of the show from the very beginning, and it always had special place in my heart. Mostly because all of you guys are so personable, approachable, and so in tune with your fans. I have always felt like part of a community with my fellow fans and listeners; how often does that happen…especially with a radio show no less?!

It felt good to dust off my old BUZZ T-Shirt, and it was a trip seeing Brad again! I would never have guessed in a million years that Topshelf would react the way that he did…

Thanks again for 10 years of great radio and great memories, and here’s to 10 more (and beyond)!

Mike

Day 846 (10/23/09) Happy 10 Years BJ!

Day 846 (10/23/09) Happy 10 Years BJ!

Today was a special day for BJ, as tonight we celebrate BJ being on air in Seattle for 10 years now. BJ started the show off a little nostalgic, as he talked about how special it Growing up as a kid he “Wasn’t popular, adopted,” and listened to Charles Laquidara on the radio & idolized the guy…and realized that was what BJ wanted to do. Check out Charles’s website here: http://www.bigmattress.com/

Later on that morning we surprised BJ by having Charles Laquidara on the show...it was awesome to see BJ's shocked look on his face when Charles was on the phone!

We hope to see all of you tonight at 7 PM at The Snoqualmie Casino for our 10 Year Anniversary party!!! Go to www.snocasino.com for more info.

We played BJ’s interview that he did with Charles back when BJ was still a teenager, working at TJ MAXX, and BJ chatted with Charles for a school project. Charles basically goofed on BJ, but BJ realized that it didn’t matter he was the “butt of the joke” so long as it was entertaining. Hmmmm…that seems to be the mantra for our show…as all of us are the “butt of the joke” at some point on air. You should listen to the 6'er hour to hear the interview BJ did with Charles…it’s an awesome chat.

Today’s Out Pick Lil’ Mick was priceless as Double B was in hilarious form while making picks with his big brother Little Mickey. At one point, while Lil’ mick was goofing on Topshelf for being a Steelers fan…Double B called Topshelf “Potshelf” -- mind you Double B is 2 years old. Hey POTTY!!!!!!

Thanks to Aaron for hipping us to this game:

Ok Steve -- I’m not sure if you guys have covered this or not but now I feel that I have seen it all someone made a online game of Falcon Heene and the balloon... so here is a link to a story and the website of the game itself..
Aaron R.
Olympia WA

Here is the game: http://www.balloonboygame.com/

Gay Leon wrote a poem for BJ based on his 10 year Anniversary:

As my gift to you on your 10 years of success I submit the following poem.

Happy anniversary bj it's been 10 long years, can you believe it has lasted this long?

In celebration of your fabulous day, I'm wearing my home made KISW thong.

From Toppy's great laugh, to The Rev's passing gas, or Nicks seductive monotone.

It's all been great, but sometimes weird, like when Double R texts me to say his wife isn't home.

So onward tonigt to the snoqualmie casino, to be congraulated on all of your fame.

I'd love to be there, truly I would, but I've got a D&D game.

So after the party come down to Puyallup, you could say hi to Awesome.

Because on a night like tonight, why stay at home, and limit yourself to a twosome.

So for your own comfort bring over a rock girl, I'll even let you choose her.

But if you can find one willing, then bring someone just as hot, like the sexy Steve The Producer.

Kisses and hugs,

Gay Leon

Day 845 (10/22/09) Bobby Lee is crazy!

Day 845 (10/22/09) Bobby Lee is crazy!

This morning somehow we got on the discussion of the Buffalo Bill scene in silence of the Lambs…you know, the “tuck” scene. Double R asked if any of us have done that…turns out Dub, Toppy, Nick, and I all have done that. Gross? Yes!

Today is day 2 of The Rev not “working out” by himself…he is abstaining from self love to be able to finish his “work out” with his girlfriend…which he hasn’t been able to do…it’s almost like an experiment. Rev said the toughest part is falling asleep!!!

We had Bobby Lee in studio…easily the craziest guest we have ever had in studio…crazier than The Greg Wilson…and that’s saying a lot. Bobby is doing comedy at the Parlor Live in Bellevue this weekend (tonight too). Bobby took a liking to Double R…at one point he took his clothes off…did the “tuck” and accosted Dub.

Today’s Video blog features Bobby Lee!!

Day 844 (10/21/09) Whammy!

Day 844 (10/21/09) Whammy!

I’d like to start the blog with the conversation of the day…it was a quick exchange, but here is the transcription:

Double R: I once date raped someone.

Me: What was his name?

Double R: Greg.

Yes, Double R didn’t actually “Date Rape” his friend, but he jokingly slipped his friend a “roofie” when they lived together back in the day…12 years ago. When his Friend woke up later & asked what happened…Double R told him what happened…to which his friend Greg said “that was awesome!”

Big thanks to David Koechner for joining us this morning…it was a total love fest with David, and like I joked about this morning…we didn’t even ask questions…most of the interview was about us telling him how awesome he was in all the films he is in. David has been in movies like: Anchorman, Waiting, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Farce of the Penguins, Talladega Nights, Balls of Fury, Semi-Pro, Drillbit Taylor, Sex Drive, The Goods, and The Comebacks. I have been lucky enough to meet David back in the day…during an Anchoman press junket in LA, and he couldn’t have been a nicer dude. Whammy!

As I said this morning...first we loose the Sonics, and now we learn that the GM of the "Horse Shack" moved out of Enumclaw:

Man at center of Enumclaw horse-sex case in trouble again
Jennifer Sullivan -- Seattle Times

A former Washington state man who was convicted of trespassing at a Enumclaw farm where a man suffered fatal injuries while having sex with a horse in 2005 is now accused of sex crimes with animals at a Tennessee farm.

James Tait, 58, was arrested and charged Thursday with three counts of felony animal cruelty. Kenny Thomason, 44, who lives with Tait in a Nashville, Tenn. suburb, was charged with two counts of felony animal cruelty.

"More charges are coming. They've been having sex with full-grown horses," Maury County, Tenn., Detective Terry Chandler said on Monday. "He [Tait] has been here for four years and it looks like it has been going on for some time."

Chandler said that Thomason owns the farm and the animals -- 13 horses, Shetland ponies, goats and dogs. The detective said that it appears that people had been having sex with ponies and dogs as well.

Deputies learned about the farm last week from someone who had visited. The person e-mailed investigators a photo of a man who appeared to be having sex with a Shetland pony, Chandler said.

Chandler said he's investigating whether Tait was advertising the farm as some sort of bestiality destination -- just as happened in the Enumclaw case. Chandler said that they recovered several videotapes of men having sex with animals on the farm.

Tait and Thomason are each being held on more than $100,000 bail, Chandler said.

When Enumclaw police searched Tait's King County farm in July 2005 they found hundreds of videotapes depicting men having sex with horses. One video showed a 45-year-old Gig Harbor man having sex with a horse shortly before he died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon on July 2, 2005.

Tait entered an Alford Plea to the charge of criminal trespassing in King County District Court on Nov. 29, 2005. Under the plea, he did not admit guilt but acknowledged a jury likely would convict him.

Authorities charged Tait with trespassing at a neighbor's farm on the night of the Gig Harbor man's death. Tait's neighbors told The Times in 2005 that they didn't know that people had been sneaking into their barn to have sex with their horses.

In addition, Tait's rented Enumclaw farm was known in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people who wanted to have sex with livestock, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.

In 2006, in response to the Enumclaw case, the Washington state Legislature made bestiality a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The Enumclaw case was the subject of the recent documentary "Zoo" by Seattle filmmaker Robinson Devor.

Day 843 (10/20/09) I’m Not Gonna take It!

Day 843 (10/20/09) I’m Not Gonna take It!

The morning started off with the guys unearthing audio that truly embarrassed me…last night, during New Originals practice we didn’t have a singer to sing the songs we are practicing. So when that happens, being that we have 2 drummers (Ryan Castle, and I), the drummer that isn’t playing will sing the song…that way the guys can follow the vocals in order to make the musical changes during the song. Well, while they were practicing Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” -- I sang the song. Now understand that I am a HORRIBLE singer. I will never sing in public (except for intros for guests on the show, but I do that because I know it’s bad & it makes people laugh)…hell I will never do Karaoke for that reason. Apparently one of the guys in the band (cough-Ryan Castle-cough) recorded me singing & sent it to the fellas, and of course BJ played it...twice this morning!!!! If you want to damage your hearing & feel better about your singing ability...click the link below to hear me sing…

http://kisw.radiotown.com/bjdaily/Interviews/STPSingsTwistedSister.mp3

We talked about a thing the Rev told us that surprised us…If you haven’t heard…The Rev has been dating a girl, and when we talked about his sex life, he brought up…well…I will use the analogy we had on the air this morning. Usually, The Rev will “work out” by himself, and when he does…he has no problem finishing his “work out.” Well, every time he “works out” with a girl…he can never finish the “work out.” This in my opinion is all psychological, and it turns out that The Rev is not alone…as we did get many emails like this one:

I've been 'working out' for 11 years with around 20-25 different women and I've only finished the deal twice and I was bored when it happen. Its all because you get so used to doing it yourself and preoccupied with taking care of your partner. Its kind of aggravating but I don't have any kids I don't need.
Guy

This was my favorite email based on the topic:

Maybe the rev likes to workout with dudes and hasn't figured it out yet.
Dan

BJ brought up something so random…he mentioned how his wife wants them to go to a Nudist colony…wow! BJ shot down my idea of having a huge listener event where he invites listeners to go with him & his wife. BJ is concerned about the fact that while there…what if he sees someone attractive & he gets excited…I told him there is an easy deterrent to that…once he thinks he might get excited, look at a naked old couple & their raisin’ed body parts.

Today's Video Blog features Double R practicing his Japanese, and Mono-Nick shows us a video.

Day 842 (10/19/09) Olivia Munn Rules!

Day 842 (10/19/09) Olivia Munn Rules!

Double R was in rare form…actually , not so rare form…he was out of his mind today! He apparently drank a bunch of NyQuil & was a rambling mess! While trying to review the Jay Z show I went to over the weekend, he kept singing 99 Problems by Jay Z…over & over & over….and over!!!! Needless to say, the Jay Z show was amazing…I was looking forward to seeing him live, but figured the show would suck since, well, every hip hop show I have ever been too sucks…it’s usually a DJ & the rapper on stage, and then 20 random hanger on’s on stage with microphones chanting inaudible words while sound effects are being played as well. I was completely wrong for that expectation...as Jay Z blew me away…he had a full backing band, it was a phenomenal performance. We were lucky enough to get in on the pre-sale, and I bout tix 10 rows back…and the people around me were cracking me up as they thought I looked like Vin Diesel & were stoked to be sitting by “Vin Diesel.” The craziest part was the epic fight that happened a few rows in front of us….security tried to take this humongous dude down & it led to rows of chairs being pushed back…it was insane watching small security guards try and stop a dude that was probably 6’8” & 400 pounds. Finally they got him down, it was awesome!!!!!!! All I know is that the Hawks should sign this guy & put him on the offensive line…Hasselbeck would have all the time in the world with that guy protecting him. Here is a pic I took during the show, while he was performing his song "Empire State Of Mind":

Speaking of the Hawks…ugh. That’s all I have to say about that!

Olivia Munn was on the show today…she is one of the hosts of G4’s Attack Of the Show, and is lusted after all gamer geeks…can ya blame them?

This is the greatest video ever…

Olivia seemed like a real cool chick...down to earth, and judging by what she said on air...she is real appreciative of her fan base.

Speaking of great videos…thanks to Randall “Too Hard To Handle” Morris for joining us for Hawk Talk this morning. Randall played with the Hawks from 1984 to 1988, and was a part of this classic Seahawks song:

On Friday, we talked to a bud of the show HB Radke, and his daughter...10 year old Vanessa...she is a finalist in a competition on the Today Show. it's a Kid Reprter contest, and if you have time...vote for her by texting the number 3 to 62639...it would be great if she won! Watch her video, and her competions as well by clicking HERE -- You can also vote online...vote Vanessa!!!!

DAY 841 (10/16/09) Balloon Boy Hurls!

DAY 841 (10/16/09) Balloon Boy Hurls!

Huge thanks to Guy Fieri…yesterday we had Guy on the show, and we talked about the local joints that he has visited for his show “Diners, Drive In’s, and Dives” -- Mainly Voula’s Offshore Café. Well, this morning Voulas dropped off breakfast for us…how cool is that!!!! If you missed the piece “Triple D” did on Voulas…here it is:

Check out Voula’s by going to www.voulasoffshore.com

Sikey from Voulas swung by with food...and it was amazing!!! Thanks Sikey, and thanks Guy...both of you rock!!!!!

Here is the story of the day:

AKRON, Ohio —
A woman has been sentenced to a year of probation for attacking a fellow exotic dancer in the face with a stiletto heel at an Ohio club. In a deal with prosecutors, 22-year-old Chetania Davis pleaded guilty Tuesday in Akron to a misdemeanor assault charge. Prosecutors say Davis used the heel to stab her 52-year-old co-worker several times April 17 in the club dressing room, causing wounds that required seven staples. It was the older woman's first day on the job. Police had said she was attacked because Davis didn't think the club needed more dancers. Defense attorney Tom DiCaudo maintains Davis was defending herself during a fight. He says she took the plea to move on with her life. The judge also suspended a six-month jail sentence.

Here is the email of the day….from Gay Leon:

This is a poem I wrote for BJ:

BJ you're funny, handsome and kind, this should be declared by all of
the courts.
You're just super duper, and oh! By the way, will you autograph my
KISW booty shorts?
My admiration for you and your show is truly great if you couldn't tell.
And no matter what, that won't go away, even if you tap 2 blue, and
counter spell.

So BJ let's hang as buddies and pals, maybe go see the hawks.
Or we could hang out at home, turn on the tv, to see another team
beating the sox.
When you hang out with me, you'll have a wonderful time, I can assure
this in one simple way...
Because I believe at least once a day, you should experience a BJ.
Wuv and muffins,
Gay Leon

This whole Balloon Boy incident seems like a giant hoax if you ask me… and last night, I was watching Wolf Blitzer on CNN, and 6 year old Falcon (Balloon Boy) said something that made me rewind my DVR multiple times…I couldn’t believe what he said:

Now after that was said…I was yelling t my TV wondering why Wolf didn’t follow up on that statement…which makes me think Wolf wasn’t even listening. After a commercial break, I am assuming that Wolf’s producers told him to ask why Falcon said “we did it for the show”:

But this morning…the greatest video ever surfaced, as the family was interviewed by the Today show, and there was an epic hurl by Falcon:

Today’s Video Blog features Sikey from Voulas, the Hooters Girls, and it also features our reaction to Falcon (Balloon Boy) vomiting on the Today show this morning!

Day 840 (10/15/09) Guy Fieri Rules!!!!!!!

Day 840 (10/15/09) Guy Fieri Rules!!!!!!!

Today is pay day…sweet!

The morning started off with a debate regarding the definition of rape….all because of this story:

"So You Think You Can Dance" judge MARY MURPHY has revealed that she was once in an abusive relationship . . . in which she was RAPED and BEATEN. She tells "Us" magazine that her ex-husband, whose name wasn't published, first became abusive just three months after they were married. She explains, quote, "We'd had another jealous fight, screaming, crashing over furniture, and he said, 'I want to have sex.' I was like, 'Are you kidding me?! We're fighting here!' He said, 'You're my wife, and you'll do what I tell you!' I pulled out a kitchen knife and screamed, 'You're going to have to stab me, because I'm not having sex with you!' He knocked it out of my hands, held me down and raped me." But sadly, that was just the beginning of a tragic pattern. Mary says, quote, "A fight, then rape, then presents . . . a dress, a diamond bracelet, earrings. In the first year or two, I'd fight back, but eventually, I'd just lie there. Get it over with, I thought. It'll be quick anyway." At one point, she got pregnant, but she lost the baby. She says, quote, "In my fourth month, I miscarried. My husband was disgusted, saying I murdered our baby, because I'd done some light dancing the night before. I was sinking deeper and deeper at that point, just reeling into despair." Mary kept the abuse to herself . . . and remained married to him for NINE YEARS. She says, quote, "I'd have black eyes and bruises. But I never called the police or went to the hospital. I didn't want anybody to know." Finally, she found a way out. In 1985, she found out that her husband . . . who she says was from a "wealthy, prominent family in the Middle East" . . . had proposed to another woman on one of his trips back home. She says, quote, "This is what motivated me to leave him. I faced him one more time to sign the papers, and then I never heard from him again." For the record, "Us" says Mary's ex-husband is denying all this . . . saying that her claims are, quote, "flat-out lies."

Thanks to Dave Attell for joining us this morning…he is one funny dude. Dave is at the Moore Theater on January 16th…tix are on sale through www.livenation.com

This morning we had a great chat with Guy Fieri from the Food Network – he called in to talk about the first ever Guy Fieri Roadshow -- It is food, rock n' roll, and "everything they won't let me do on TV!" which is coming to the Moore 12/11 – get tix HERE. We also chatted about his show “Diners, Drive In’s, and Dives” on the Food Network…the show has featured some great places to eat in Seattle…Guy even said that Seattle is the cornerstone for great local based food joints…so much so that him & his business partners have been traveling to Seattle with intentions of opening a place up here!!!!! Here are a couple videos of local places that Guy spotlighted:

What I also love about Guy is that he loves pretzels!!!! Hell, he called me his “brother from another mother” because of my love for pretzels as well. He made & sold pretzels at the age of 10 & called it the “Awesome Pretzel.” I had to share with him a story of my obsession one from a kid, and another as an adult. When I was a kid I was kicked out of Elementary School one day because I called the lunch lady a “Mother F’er” (only I used the actual word) because she didn’t pick my table to get pretzels for lunch. They actually had to call my mom and have her come get me…to be honest, I do think my mom found the humor in it because after that incident, in our freezer…it was always stoked with frozen soft pretzels.

Guy seemed like a great dude…I can’t wait for him to come to town. Go to www.guyfieri.com

I just got this email, and the timing couldn't be better as I am updating the blog as I got it...if you can help out a fan of the show, that would rock!

Hello STP,

My name is Chris Austin and I am the Team Manager for Retro Cycle Worx Racing, I was hoping you could post our proposal on your blog or the web.

We are looking to develop a National level BMX racing team and looking for local sponsors to help. We will be recruiting riders that participate in local races, state and national events to include the Washington State Championship, Redline cup, ABA Nationals across the US, and Canadian Nationals.

The top 5 sponsors who offer the most assistance will have your company logo added to our team racing jerseys for the 2010 racing season which will be worn by all members of the team, also your logo will be on our website and team banner displayed at every race we attend.

Your sponsorship will allow us to offer a great equipment to our current and new riders for the 2010 season and help assist us overcome the cost of jerseys as well as help our current and future riders to national events for the season with race fees and other needed products. The team promotes a drug free environment for its entire membership. They have a code of conduct that they must adhere to at all times to be on the team. Our promise to you is that we will represent ourselves in the utmost honorable and ethical manner by promoting our sponsors at every event both local and national.

If you would like to be a sponsor of this team or would like further information please contact us at the following:
