Do I have your attention? Ok good. The Deadwoods are all very fond of boobs, I won't lie, however, this post is really about our overall concern for the vast destruction of the many poor, innocent, ample breasts that will succumb to breast cancer this year and into the future. We don't like it and neither should you! It's time we stood up to this cruel disease and said NO! Leave the boobies alone! 

And so, The Deadwoods will once again barge to the forefront and take a stand! This is our 3rd year in a row helping to raise money for the fight against breast cancer. Actually, this year, we'll be doing double duty. First on June 6th in Bemidji and again on August 15th in Princeton (we'll have another post about the Princeton gig soon).

So, the fight begins on June 6th in the beautiful northwoods of Minnesota in a little town called Bemidji. We'll be playing a bar known as Lazy Jack's. It's a fairly new bar in town, less than a year old, but a great bar none the less. It happens to be owned by my sister-in-law who along with my wife and my sister will be walking 60 miles in August in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Crazy? Yes. But that's why we love them... and support them... and their boobs! 

We'll be playing all night which means we'll be bringing you a full helping of raucous cover tunes (some familiar covers and some new covers since we have Corey playing with us this year) and we'll mix in your favorite Deadwoods tunes as well. As you can see from the event flyer, there will be other events, cash prizes and all kinds of other fun ways to donate your money to the cause. And, back by popular demand, the Save 2nd Base t-shirts will also be available for sale. 

So, I think you ought to take a weekend off and join us in Bemidji for what looks to be a seriously good time. The Deadwoods plan to go up on Friday and possibly get some fishing/drinking in on Saturday before the gig. Bring your boat! Or just bring some beer and meet us at the lake! You definitely do not want to miss this one. 

If you just can't make it up to Bemidji but still want to join the fight, you can always chip in online. To Donate online, just click one of the following links which go to my wife, sister in law and sister's 3-day page:
