OK, Andy’s brother Paul and SIL Anna scare the crap out of folks for charity. Each year they are involved with this amazing haunted house event in Austin, Texas. Check out the video from this year’s event…if you DARE.


Scare For A Cure 2008: World of Horrorcraft from Paul Sicard on Vimeo.

SCARE For A Cure is a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise money for local cancer related charities. Our main event is an interactive extreme haunted house adventure modeled after, and using many of the same experienced volunteers as, two iconic Austin haunted houses: Richard Garriott’s Britannia Manor and Wild Basin Preserve’s Haunted Trails. The SCARE crew brings together one of the most talented, creative, and fiendishly frightening teams anywhere.

SCARE For A Cure’s Austin haunted house started as a haunt put on by Jarrett Crippen (a.k.a. the SciFi Channel’s “The Defuser”) in his back yard, where he asked participants for donations of canned food for local food banks. It grew year by year, with help from the drama troupes of local high schools. In 2007, shortly after winning the Who Wants to Be a Superhero reality show, Jarrett moved his production to the Austin Elks lodge. That was when he was joined by many of the volunteers who created Britannia Manor and Haunted Trails in years past.

bluegrass halloween party!

October 27th, 2008

The band had a great time this past weekend performing at the Sherman’s Halloween party. What a great group of family and friends! Passing the pumpkin to Clinch Mountain Backstep was awesome!

Goodtime Spencer has confirmed that Rhode Island is his second favorite state (next to Massachusetts). Nicki Singleton and Ryan Spraker of the original Hard Times band completed the group and great bluegrass sounds were made!  What is it about the calzone in Rhode Island? I think it may be the best I’ve ever had!
