If you’re reading my post, you’re probably already part of the DBT fan community, and know how close-knit and supportive we are. We host each other in our homes; we join virtually through live streams, social media, text and phone; we get together in person at rock shows, restaurants, hotels and bars. I know when I’m filming at the 40 Watt you are my wall of protection from asshat behavior, and when I’m not, you’re an avenue of familiar friendly faces in a path to and from the tiki bar.
You probably also know that Homecoming is just over two months from now, and it’s time to come together once again and raise money for Nuci’s Space.
During Homecoming weekend, we post up at Flicker on Wednesday, drink Bloody Marys at the Hangout on Friday, and huddle together at the Days Inn into the late hours of the evening/morning. Some of us--not naming any names here--anticipate and celebrate DBT Homecoming more than any winter family holiday. Of all the ways we come together, my favorite happens on Saturday, when we celebrate and donate at the auction for Nuci’s Space.
If you post here or just follow DBT generally, you probably know about Nuci’s, their mission to prevent suicide, and their focus on supporting musicians. Nuci’s Space is the heart at the center of what makes Athens so special, providing countless resources--both physical and emotional--that nurture the community. They’re doing life-saving work. You can learn more about them here.
Each of the past six years we at 3DD have produced a DVD and Blu-Ray of a full DBT show that you can’t get anywhere else. The production of this DVD/Blu-Ray is truly a community effort: allisonsdc, bogart, drivebymule, Phungi, CooleyGirl, myself, and Jonicont all operated the cameras, and the good doc handled all the editing and post-production. We're all pretty proud of this, and with your gift to Nuci’s Space, it will be yours!
This year's DVD/Blu-Ray was night 2 from Homecoming last year (2/17/2017). You can read some of our reactions to this show here, starting with a post from Southern Efficiency that I'll just quote in full:
Not bad, eh? Here's a little taste of what you'll get:Southern Efficiency wrote:I'm prepared to call this the best show I've ever seen.
...and the rip-roaring finish:
Last year’s DVD fundraiser brought $9,105 in donations to Nuci’s Space--from 185 donors--which is incredible.
Please join me in giving as generously as you can to support this inspiring organization. Let’s see if we can break 5 figures this year!
I can't wait to see you all in Athens.
Gratefully,
Luke, a/k/a uncle rickey
Thanks Luke. And THANK YOU to everyone who gave up a night at the Rock Show to get this done
