Got Toys?

Minds out of the gutter. I don't know what sparks it, but I can sometimes be a softy... and not THAT kind of softy please!

The holiday season is upon us and it's time to celebrate. If you are like me you will be traveling to spend time with your family over Thanksgiving. Sure you may have to listening to grandpa or your crazy uncle tell the same war story, roll mini meatballs for the soup, but you can drinking LOTS of cocktails. Even though some of you might think this is a torturous time of the year, please just remember that there are many people out there in the world.

I can't help but reflect back to the first time I met Mike (Subsequently is going to kill me for talking about this.) I was shooting a commercial for the mighty fine folks at the GLBT organization Delaware Valley Legacy Fund. Every year they put on an annual TOY drive. My producer basically cast all non-actors and I was thinking, "Oh great this is going to be a long day." But then this large cup of manliness walked in the house. I asked if anyone had any acting experience and thankfully Mr. Mike did. A couple of months later when the stud muffin showed up a party, I immediately thought he would be a prefect match for us... and he sure is!

So who cares right? If it wasn't for the generocity of everyone involved that day we never would have made the commercial for TOY!, which is an event that raises money and collects gifts for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We generally don't like to talk about regional things, but I think this one's worth it; don't you? Sick kids in the hospital during the holiday season SUCKS. We all have to do our part this year to help those who needs it most. Hell, look at Paula Deen. She was helping pass ham hocks that were being loaded onto a truck heading to a food bank when someone tossed one too soon and it smacked Deen in the head. She laughed it off, but it just goes to show that even TV stars take one for the team.

TOY! is being held on Friday, December 4, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM at the Marketplace Design Center (2400 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA.) Or just go online right here to buy advance tickets.

Be safe everyone and have a Happy Thanksgiving. I doubt we will be posting anything, but you never know when Keeneye Reeves pops up around here because he has a bad habit of working too much!
