a little info....

Doug Engstrom 2001

I will start with the T-shirts:
Those girly shirts are FAR too small. So, if you got one and it doesn't fit, let us know and we will make it right. Any shirts ordered from now on will only be in the men's sizes. You can continue to get in touch with Gus on that front: eengstrom@carolina.rr.com You can look back at the blog archives for a photo of the shirt. It's pretty cool....Although no longer fully true. I can't have my scooters anymore. But, it was a fact at the time.

Next, our friend, Dolph Ramseur, manager of The Avett Brothers sent out an email today that made my heart soar. It is so nice to have such great friends. I am going to copy the email here for any of you who weren't on the list:

April 18th was National Record Store Day and The Avett Brothers stopped by Grimey’s in Nashville, TN to perform a few songs and sign some autographs. Grimey’s is one of the best record stores in America and have always given The Avett Brothers a lot of support in the Music City. Over 1,000 people turned out to catch the Brothers sing a few songs. A few climbed trees and many climbed fences to join in on the celebration. At 2:22 of this video (link provided below) you will see the crowd helping the guys out. Pretty impressive.

You will notice Scott Avett wearing a Tara Engstrom Has A Posse And I’m In It t-shirt while performing at Grimey’s. Tara is great friends with The Avett Brothers. She is putting up a great fight against breast cancer and is a huge inspiration to many. The Brothers were very honored to play a private party in February for Tara, her friends and family. It was a very special night and something that will never be forgotten. For more information on Tara and her battle against the big C please visit her blog at: http://illkickcancersass.blogspot.com/ To order a shirt please contact her brother - Gus Engstrom at: eengstrom@carolina.rr.com
Yours In Truth,
Dolph

Thanks once again for reading and I will update as soon as there is something to tell you. I did fall down the stairs last night, that was NOT fun. But other than having a bruised butt and needing my cane again, I think I will be okay!!!!

The photo attached is one of my favorites of my uncle Doug and I thought anyone who knows him and reads this blog would appreciate it!!!

love and gratitude,
Tara
