Aw, c'mon Slightly Stoopid fans...
Here's the good news, the bad news, and the shot at redemption:
Well, the good news was that a pair of tickets to the Slightly Stoopid show was up for grabs Saturday for the music fan who brought the biggest food donation to the Idaho Foodbank Saturday morning.
The bad news is that no one showed up at all. No one, and the tickets went unclaimed.
The shot at redemption: The Indigo Girls concert, July 27 at Idaho Botanical Garden is also a food drive.
Fans can bring donations in non-perishable, non-glass containers to the show.
For every donation of four items or more, you'll be entered into a raffle to win a signed copy of “Poseidon and the Bitter Bug,” the duo’s new double CD, along with other memorabilia.
Cash donations will also be welcome. And there will be opportunities to volunteer at the concert.
Whatever the Indigo Girls are doing that other bands are not, it seems to be working.
In June, the Indigo Girls’ campaign brought in more than 3,000 pounds of food and enough cash to provide another 27 tons of food to food banks located near their concerts.
For more about the local show, including what foods are needed, and volunteer opportunities, visit the website.
Kudos to Blue Ribbon Landscape & Maintenance, Inc.
The company is coordinating a "Day of Service" volunteer project for Nampa Christian High School in Nampa on Saturday.
Local landscape suppliers and NCHS parents are donating trees, shrubs and labor to finish the landscaping at the newly constructed high school.
Work begins at 8 a.m. if you want to check it out.

I just went to the foodbank HERE/Who are Slightly Stoopid?

There is no life in Idaho...it is a mirror site on god's server. You were dreaming but it is over. Go to your residence and await our commands and THEN we will restore control...
Very weird.
Slightly Stoopid has a loyal following elsewhere I think. Reminds me of the second AfroMan concert, when nobody showed up and his poorman posse consisted of an ageing white lady working the beat box. I'm curious about how that tommy-gun-raffle-tickets-for-canned-goods drive worked out.
As I recall reading in one another story, it went well.
I tend to think there are more needy persons than those who can give enough food to see a relatively unknown (in Idaho) band. Yes, it IS too bad.
The giveaway was re-offered for a future show.
