🚣♀️ Send us down the Colorado River 🚣♀️
At the end of April 2027 we will be embarking on the trip of a lifetime as we raft down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon with some of our closest friends. Help support our adventure by contributing funds that will go towards our gear purchases and rentals! Or, if you are an avid rafter yourself and have gear we can borrow let us know!
Example: The Grand Canyon is home to many creatures including tarantulas, scorpions and the infamous pink rattle snake. While we support the lives of all these magnificent creatures, we don’t want them sleeping in our sleeping bags! Help us buy a tent so we can keep the critters out and the love in, even if it’s just for the night…
🚐 Upgrade Big Toot 🚐
Big Toot was Jimmy’s first van build almost a decade ago. She’s been on some amazing adventures transporting humans, dogs, birds, spiders, and gremlins to far away places like Montana, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, as well as nearby places like Pacifica and Mill Valley. She has also served as a guest bedroom when the inn was full. We plan to take her on many more adventures, but the ‘ole gal needs some work. Help us give her the upgrades she so desperately needs including a mount for our spare tire so we can be safe on our adventures, electrical rework for our interior lights, and new tanks for our potable and grey water systems.
🎶 Take us out to a show!
Whether it’s a musical theater performance showcasing campy horror with blood filled super soakers and a dedicated theatre splash zone, our favorite stand up comedian, a live concert, or a schtick-filled music festival weekend where we get to show off our butt cracks in home-made plumb bottom jean shorts, we love supporting the creative expression of others as enthusiastic audience members. It’s so much fun to have fun together, and having these experiences inspires our own creative juices. Fund our ongoing love of the performing arts!
Buy us a Drink
Jimmy and Emily have grown a lot during the course of their relationship. Emily has learned that a Hazy IPA tastes best within a month of canning. Jimmy has learned that beers taste better when they have cool labels. Together they are an unstoppable force, driving up energy bills across Santa Cruz county as they hold open refrigerated display cabinets searching for bespoke artwork and scouring can bottoms, sides, and tops for canning dates. Send funds for great beer and energy bills.
🐔 birdsRus Bird Sanctuary 🐔
Left to Right: Burnt Toast, Popcorn, Daddy's Girl, Chocolate Moose, Professor, and Happy Feet
One of the fan tailed pigeons we rescued that we are calling Birch. The brown one, not pictured, is Bark.
They climbed up on my head on their own free will
Shortly after Emily and Jimmy got their six baby chickens, they happened upon two abandoned exotic breed pigeons at a rest stop just outside of Truckee. What began as a feel good mission of saving two helpless Fantail Pigeons, turned into a full day of multiple stops at animal shelters, phone calls to different animal rescue organizations, and the slow realization that we may just have to accept our fate and start a bird sanctuary of our very own. Had we been better set up for it, the story may have turned out differently and we would be releasing two Fantails at our wedding to perform a celebratory waddle up the aisle (they aren’t capable of flying, if you were wondering). Thankfully we were saved at the 11th hour by a text message from Paloma bird rescue informing us that there was a local woman in Boulder Creek who already had a rescue Fantail and would be more than happy to take in our two refugees. Won’t you help us prepare for our next bird rescue/Emu breeding goals by contributing funds to bird housing, bird food, bird bedding, and bird call lessons so we can better communicate with our beloved, feathered friends?
Invest in a Monster Truck!
Believe us, we know responsibility! And nothing squawks responsibility more than quitting your job, enrolling in Monster Jam University, becoming a Hot Shoe, and then driving a 2,000 horse power monster truck down your local bike path. That’s the plan, that’s the goal now. We’ll equip our monster truck with ALL the safety features, starting with a train sized air horn.
Since we will have 150+ people at our wedding, if everyone contributes $1000 and we have 2 weddings we will be able to build our own monster truck: Feathered Fury. Subscription options available to help maintain the truck after we spectacularly crash when we mash the throttle a little too hard trying to moonwalk in a Stoppie. 🤣
Disclaimer: We are not actually buying a monster truck. However, we have been found at Monster Truck shows, and we definitely have some redneck in our blood. Between the $20 Michelob Ultras, $30 pieces of pizza, and $100 commemorative blankets, your $1000 donation will be put to good use.
