The day has finally arrived and I am so excited to see all of you tonight at Toys for Shots. I wanted to take a second and send out a couple of reminders.

• There will be 2 bars at the venue tonight but they are both cash bars so please bring cash with you. If you do not have cash or run out there is an ATM inside of powerhouse.
• There will be food at the event tonight but it is a good idea to have something to eat before you come to the event. We will have pizza, wings, veggies, chips and dessert. The hot food will start coming out around 9 and will keep coming out until we run out.
• People keep asking me what the attire for the night will be. It is a casual event but everyone likes to have a reason to come dressed up so use it tonight. Ladies, you won't be the only one in a dress and fellas you won't be the only one in a tie so dress to impress tonight!
• You can park on the street outside of the powerhouse for free but there is a $6.00 fee to park in the main lot.
• We will have coat check this year so feel free to wear a coat and check it at the door.
• Tell your friends!

Thank you all so much for your support! We are doing something pretty special tonight and we are helping people right in our backyards.

I have a ton of people asking me what they should be wearing for the evening so I thought I would take a second to address it. This is a Christmas party at a very nice venue that usually holds weddings, dress to impress people. Ladies - You will not be the only one in a dress so if you need an excuse to wear one, you have it. Fellas - It wont hurt you to throw on some dress shoes, a sweater and yes maybe even a tie. The point I am trying to make is that a lot of people will be dressed up so why not do the same and enjoy all of the head turns Saturday night. We will have a photographer on hand taking pictures so I expect to see a lot of people looking sharp in those pictures.

Last night I found out that a friend was donating a limited edition print to our raffle. Below is an image of the print, description of the piece and a video describing the inspiration for it. This is truly a one of kind item and I believe a lot of people are going to want to win this one. You can learn more about this piece at RareInk. See you all Saturday night!

Artist Kerry Laster creates a striking tribute to the power of Ice Cube's lyrics with this portrait titled Face The Music. Limited to only 75 pieces, this large horizontal 24'' by 36'' fine art print features Ice Cube's face composed of some of his most powerful song titles and lyrics. The background of the piece features a montage of all of Ice Cube's albums. Ice Cube has uniquely applied his handprint in yellow paint to each print. The piece has also been hand signed by Ice Cube with a silver paint pen and artist Kerry Laster in pencil. Additionally, the artwork has been embossed with the RareInk logo, individually hand-numbered in pencil, and affixed with an anti-counterfeit security label on the back of the print in order to protect the collectibility of your print for years to come. Your unique piece of art will come professionally wrapped in acid-free paper and housed in our special RareInk-branded gift packaging tube, protected within an outer mailing box, making sure your print and the tube arrive in pristine condition. Your package also includes a Certificate of Authenticity, noting the edition size, your individual edition number, and further details regarding the printing of the artwork. Included with your purchase is a DVD featuring Cube applying his handprint and signing the artwork. To view this footage, click on the View Signing Video link toward the top of the page.

As you may know the cover charge for the event is 1 or more unwrapped toys. If for whatever reason you can't bring a toy you can still attend the event. Without a toy the cover charge is ten dollars and with that you will receive 2 drink tickets. Please remember we are trying to raise toys for the Toys For Tots foundation so we encourage you to bring a toy. I can't wait to see you all Saturday night!
