2009 - THE MISSING MONTHS
No, it's not like the Dicks have been dormant. In fact, we've had our share of stage time this year. It's just the blogging has been neglected.So, let's recap.
The first part of 2009, (especially the spring) was slow because a certain someone was planning a wedding.
However, The Chixie Dicks still managed to help raise over $6000 for area causes, including The Heart and Stroke Foundation, Easter Seals, CHEO, The Doc and Woody Fund, and In The Spirit Of Christmas for toys and food hampers.
And it ain't over.
Moving into the fall and winter, there will be a major focus and several events planned to raise a targeted $20000 for an anticipated increase in need to help the area shelters and families in need.This won't be easy and we'll need some help... especially from our friends in the music community.
But, together, I think we can get quite a bit accomplished.
Watch for events in October at Bass Line Station and Sonny's Bar and Grill, including a Halloween costume bash, similar to last years with great prizes for costumes.
But a more pressing cause is just around the corner.
October 3rd, Elmdale Tavern on Wellington Street, The Chixie Dicks and Friends will Rock For The Cure For Breast Cancer.
Watch for details soon.

Thanks to Val, AJ, Anne and ESPECIALLY the folks who came out Sunday afternoon the join the fundraiser for IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS!It was a well organized event with the help of THE WISE GUYS and THE RUNES rounding out the 'live entertainment portion of the day.
Additionally they staged a BASS LINE BACHELOR AUCTION, coupled with silent auctions and raffles. It resulted in over $1200 for a very noble cause!
The Chixie Dicks were one Dick short of a load but it didn't stop us from goin' out there and having a great time with an impressive Sunday afternoon crowd. Ricky was out of town but we saved him a T-shirt and those T-shirts sold out at Bass Line! Thank you to ALL who supported the cause with the shirts. More Chixie Dicks Tees will be available this Saturday as we wrap up the campaign at Sonny's with a performance.
But quantities are limited so make sure you get one early.
Also, don't forget BLACKBOARD NAILS this Friday at Sonny's, kicking off the final fundraising weekend for the cause.

SONNY'S WAS SPOOKTACULAR!!
Thanks to everyone who took part in the Chixie Dicks' Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween party last Friday Night.It was the best ever crowd and the most fun we've had so far... and we've had a lot of fun!
It was the biggest crowd Sonny's has seen in quite some time and we were able to raise a whopping $1600+ in just a few hours.
The spirit was high and a vast majority of folks were costumed up, making the night even more fun.
Check out the pics in the gallery section of the website.
Thanks again to EVERYONE!
