Johnnie at Mikey Way Online has started a Save James project! Everyone should help the poor soul if you can spare a little bit! We are helping Johnnie out with the project and I urge you all to check it out!

Here’s the deal: James Dewees is in some financial trouble over an accountant that messed him up six years ago and he’s just finding out about it. Penalties from that kind of stuff rack up fast. In an interview with Lawrence.com, he talked about this a bit and went on later to say he couldn’t afford to pay for musicians for this tour. When I saw the concert on Wednesday and he said he was in $100,000 of debt, I thought he was kidding but now it doesn’t sound like he is.
I have created Project James where we’re going to try and help him out some. Even if it’s just groceries for a month, I’m sure it would help give him and his wife a peace of mind. It’s just extremely disheartening to see him, a conservatory-trained musician, working construction jobs to pay the bills.
While donations would be nice, I realize not all people just “give” or don’t have the means to be able to. Therefore I also have stickers and pens that you can get that say “Save James” on them and tees will be coming soon. The stickers and pens will be shipped as soon as they arrive and are manufactured at Brandi’s Distribution Center and tees will go up as soon as I can get price quotes from local retailers. If nothing else, please go to the tour, get some Reggie merch, or simple promote the crap out of this project. I’m hoping to be able to hand James a check in person on September 14 at the last stop in Philly. If I can’t hand it to James, I’ll hand it to Frank. If that doesn’t work, rest assured James will get it regardless. Promotions will continue beyond this show and hopefully we can get him some help here and there with whatever we make.
