Random Row lost one of our own this weekend in a tragic accident. If you knew Trevynn, you knew he was a big old teddy bear, willing to do whatever it took to help out, but definitely didn’t want to be in front of a camera or be the center of attention 😉. He could be a quiet soul but those that knew him well knew he was multi-faceted. He has been with us and worked hard for RR for over 3 years and our family at Random Row will miss him tremendously. Please consider donating to the Go Fund Me set up to help ease his family’s financial burden during this difficult time. Nothing is too small. Please keep his family in your thoughts as they navigate this challenging journey. And tell the people you love that you love them.

Go Fund Me link can be found in our bio, on our story, or copy and paste the link below.

Fall is officially here and October brings the beautiful fall weather with it. Sometimes those days are a little chilly, but hospitals are always cold! Meet our October Pour It Forward beneficiary, Cape Ivy. A non-profit serving local hospitals and hospitals throughout Virginia, their mission is to provide warmth, comfort, and support to children who have chronic or critical illnesses and their families. They provide fun fleece ponchos to children in the hospital because this item works well with medical equipment and IV lines.

ONE MORE DAY…till the biggest, baddest, burliest brawl of the year, CLAW. Over 300 of your closest friends have already purchased tickets, buy yours today to ensure you don’t miss the best event of the year here in Cville.

A couple of things to note:
1. Parking is first come, first served. A suggested donation of $10 can get you a parking spot, cash-only. Otherwise, there is open parking behind Bodos and Exxon across the street, or park on the downtown mall. Carpooling is strongly suggested (and is good for the environment).
2. Kids are welcome. But do know that there is often adult content during the show. Use your judgment.
3. Doors open at 7 pm, We Are Star Children plays at 7:30 pm, wrasslin’ begins at 8. Ships In the Night will also make a musical guest star appearance.
4. There will be beer/drink stations outside, the Otto Street Food truck will be on-site, the bar inside will be open, and Billy Pie will be serving pizza.
5. Money raised for this show goes directly to CLAW, who is a local non-profit that serves our community by supporting other bad-ass non-profits in town.

Ticket link is available in our bio. See you Saturday!
