Kingsized Rocked Our Fundraiser

Lain — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:12:09 +0000

Big Mike Geier and the rest of Kingsized played a heck of a show at the Wren’s Nest on Saturday.

I’m still recovering. But I did manage to post a few pictures of the party. Check ‘em out here.

Did you take any pictures? Seriously, I’d love to see ‘em since I was so busy running around all night. Just upload your pictures to the Wren’s Nest Facebook Page.

Big thanks to our volunteers (Laura, Nicole, Greg and Christina, Lauren and Catherine, my mom, my sister), our staff, and the folks who had a great time, which was everyone. Thank you, everyone.

Kingsized at the Wren’s Nest — We’re Getting Nervous

Lain — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:04:21 +0000

By now you might have noticed that Kingsized is playing our fundraiser here on September 27th.

That’s less than 10 days away. I’m a little worried.

Don’t get me wrong — the show will be phenomenal, the tacos will be delicious, and the margaritas will have tequila. I’m mostly worried that folks might miss out on a great time.

We’ve got a lot to compete with — class reunions, out-of-town plans, laziness, stock market induced excuses, hatred of fun and margaritas — you name it.

And in typical Wren’s Nest fashion, we were late spreading the word. The price we pay? Restrained panic.

We’re looking to you, dear Wren’s Nest blog readers, to help us out. And boy howdy, have I got some incentive–

Inspire nine folks to come to the concert with you, and drinks for your entire table are on me.

You heard me.

Honestly, I don’t think anyone will take me up on this offer. I’m sure you’re either too busy or it’s too expensive or you don’t have time to rally your crew. I will be shocked if you can pull this together.

So prove me wrong.

Free drinks for you and your buddies all night, but only if you (1) are at least 21; (2) mention this blog post; (3) assemble your crew of 9 or more; (4) pay for your tickets in full; and (5) tell me about it before 4 pm on September 22nd (lain@wrensnestonline.com).

Please, test my generosity.

The Wren’s Nest’s Fall Concert: Kingsized

What are you doing on Saturday, September 27th?

Having Taqueria del Sol for dinner? Enjoying a rolicking good time with your friends? Contributing to a good cause? Jamming like you’ve never jammed before?

How about doing all of the above in ONE PLACE?! No, it doesn’t involve witchcraft.

It’s the Wren’s Nest’s annual fundraising concert!

We’re pleased as punch that the legendary Kingsized will be blowing the roof off our open-air amphitheater, and that sweet, sweet Taqueria del Sol will be providing the sustenance. Will I ever tire of their tacos? All signs points to: nope, not ever.

You can buy your tickets ($60 per person; dinner and swell times included) here at the Wren’s Nest or via credit card over the phone (404-753-7735). We’re working to set up ticket purchasing online, too. You’ll be the first to know when that happens, promise.

September 27th is rapidly approaching (see: what?!), so buy your tickets now! Or, if you must, tomorrow.
