No word yet about when the segment happens, but hopefully it'll be on the early side. The telethon begins Sunday evening, 9 PM,…

Tim, Dave & David
Check out this awesome bag illustration that our own Tim Lane (of Abandoned Cars fame) did for our pals David & Dave at Secret Headquarters. If you're in Los Angeles, it's worth making a trip to SHQ just to pick up a free bag! I can't explain the raccoon.
