My fellow Mean Greens,
Several of us media types and the Rangers are working together to hold the "Do It For Durrett" benefit concert on Monday, Sept. 8 at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth. All proceeds will go to a fund for the family of Richard Durrett, my colleague at the DRC, DMN and ESPN Dallas who died suddenly at 38 last month and left behind two young children and a pregnant wife.
The concert will feature some big-named local country/rock stars we can't mention in advance due to something called "radius clauses" as well as Old 97s front man Rhett Miller and Kessler Theater favorite Daphne Willis. There will also be a live and silent auctions with all kinds of awesome experiences and memorabilia donated from teams, colleges, etc.
Eric Capper and the good folks at North Texas stepped up big with a package that I think a lot of you folks would love to win.
Mean Green Package: The winner gets four club seats to a mutually-agreed upon football game for the 2014 season, including a parking pass and access to the field during pregame. It will also include North Texas helmet signed by head coach Dan McCarney and the 2014 highlight DVD, chronicling one of the most successful seasons in school history which was capped by win in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on Jan. 1.
You've got to be at the concert to bid. Tickets ($20 in advance, $30 at the door if they aren't sold out) can be bought on the Billy Bob's website.

I hope to see a lot of you there. I'll be working the silent auction. Stop by, say hi and bid big.
Thanks,
Tim MacMahon
