I\u2019m of the firm belief that folks who attend our fundraising events should be rewarded for showing their financial support by us showing them a good time – not subjecting them to a lot of boring political speeches.<\/p>\n

Our two sold-out dinners last year included \u201cPastapalooza\u201d on National Spaghetti Day and a professional Murder\/Mystery comedy show in which former Assemblywoman Annie Black was caught knocking off political rivals.<\/p>\n

Good times, good times.<\/p>\n

Our next dinner will be on May 1st<\/sup>\u00a0for this year\u2019s\u00a02024 Conservative Awards & Volunteer Appreciation Night<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 followed by Ryan Bueter and Donny Scott\u2019s\u00a0Killer Dueling Pianos<\/a>\u00a0show.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never been to such a show, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019ve been missing.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what\u2019s in store for you\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cStep into a world where music takes center stage and the keys come alive with energy! At the Killer Dueling Pianos show, guests are in for a thrilling musical experience like no other. Two incredibly talented pianists go head-to-head, playing a wide array of songs from various genres and eras, all based on audience requests.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cFrom rock ‘n’ roll classics to pop hits, country favorites to iconic ballads, the repertoire is vast and the energy is infectious. Guests can expect to be dazzled by the musicians’ skill and entertained by their witty banter and playful competition.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cBut the excitement doesn’t stop there! Attendees are encouraged to participate by requesting their favorite songs. Whether it’s a nostalgic tune that brings back fond memories or a current chart-topper that gets everyone dancing, the pianists are ready to take on any challenge.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cAs the night progresses, the music builds to a crescendo, creating an electrifying atmosphere that will have everyone on their feet and singing along. It’s an unforgettable evening filled with music, laughter, and the thrill of a live performance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve invoked my Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah Power and have already submitted my request of my favorite all-time song.\u00a0 Can anybody guess what it is?<\/p>\n

Now here\u2019s the thing\u2026<\/p>\n

Anyone at the event can submit a written request of any song they want – providing Ryan and Donny know it, which they likely do.\u00a0 However, the performers generally give priority to requests that come with \u201ctip\u201d money for the performers attached.<\/p>\n

And a request with a $5 bill attached will likely get played before requests with a $1 bill attached; a request with a $20 bill attached will likely get played before a request with a $10 bill attached, etc.<\/p>\n

Oh, and this is fun, too\u2026<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say someone like George Harris attaches $1 to hear, say, a Taylor Swift song.\u00a0 But then someone like Bill Laub (gratefully) outbids George with $5 to\u00a0NOT<\/u>\u00a0play the song. I love a good bidding war!<\/p>\n

But it gets better.\u00a0 Ryan and Donny are donating all of their tips to the Pigpen Project!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the good news.<\/p>\n

The bad news is (sort of) \u2026 we\u2019re already sold out!<\/p>\n

We offered tables-of-eight to sponsors before individual general admission tickets were supposed to go on sale today\u2026and every one has already been snatched up.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t despair yet.\u00a0 There\u2019s still a chance you won\u2019t be shut out of this rip-roarin\u2019 good time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve created a first-come\/first-served waiting list and will keep a master list of folks wishing to attend.\u00a0 And if any tickets become available, we\u2019ll call or email you and let you know, in the order your requests come in.<\/p>\n

If you want to get on the waiting list, here\u2019s what to do\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Send an email to\u00a0info@pigpenproject.com<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Write in the subject line: \u201cWaiting List\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. In the body of the email, include your name, best email address, and best phone number to reach you.<\/li>\n
  4. Keep your fingers crossed!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This event is gonna be a blast.\u00a0 Looking forward to seeing many of you there.<\/p>\n

    P.S.\u00a0 We\u2019ve added a new award to the program: \u201cCalifornian of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n

    It\u2019ll go to a Nevadan who has actively tried to turn the Great State of Nevada into the Great Liberal Hellhole that Gavin Newsom\u2019s California has become.\u00a0 Sadly, the competition for this award \u2013 a horse\u2019s ass trophy \u2013 has been fierce.<\/p>\n

    Stay tuned for the announcement of all of this year\u2019s award recipients \u2013 Conservative of the Year, Rising Star, Courage Under Fire, Unsung Hero, and the Reagan Legacy Award – in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

    P.P.S.\u00a0 I have a friend and associate from back in my DC days who supports our Pigpen Project to clean up the voter rolls.\u00a0 And she has offered to match $25,000 to expand the project statewide IF we raise $25,000 or more in sponsorships.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re already more than halfway there, so if you\u2019re looking for a really good cause to invest in, this is it!\u00a0 You can still sponsor online by\u00a0clicking here<\/a>\u00a0or just pop an old-fashioned check in the mail to the address on the website.<\/p>\n
