We've been talking about the Dick Biondi Documentary for months now ...
And have partnered up with Pam Pulice, the woman behind the making of this great and necessary film, to help raise the funds needed, in any way possible, to finally push this project over the finish line ...
So we are quite excited about the brand new fund-raising event being held this Sunday at 115 Bouron Street in Merrionette Park, featuring performances by The New Colony Six, The Cavedwellers, The Meteors, Bagshot, The Southside Exiles, The Hundred Dollar Quartet (featuring Scott May of The Ides Of March) and special guest appearances by Jay Reincke (of Jay and the Americans), Carl Giammarese of The Buckinghams, Dennis Tufano (former lead singer of The Buckinghams) and Jim Peterik of The Ides Of March, who has officially dubbed this event The BED, BATH AND BIONDI Thingy!!!
Your hosts for the afternoon event include Scott MacKay of 95.9 The River, Actor (and Fundraiser) Joe Ferina, the incomparable Ron Onesti, Sock Hop DJ Pete Weldon, Film Maker Pamela Pulice (and who knows, maybe even a word or two from me!)
Tickets in advance are just $37 (or $42 at the door) and include a buffet dinner, beer, wine and soda, a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle and a screening of the official Dick Biondi Movie Trailer. (Once the film has been completed, it'll air on PBS television stations across the country.)
