POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

*SWIPE TO SEE AUTOGRAPHED CARDS AND A DIECAST*

I love @charlottemotorspeedway and I love getting to spend time with wonderful people. Yesterday @chelly_kay90 and I got to take @iamlefri and @ty_c_queen to their first two @nascar races.

Pre-race was incredible. We met @c_buescher @ryanpreece_ @noahgragson Joe Gibbs, and all five @jrmotorsports drivers!

Meeting Coach Gibbs, I finally got to complete my dual autograph @bobby_labonte44 Joe Gibbs NFL Hall of Fame diecast. Chelsea also got to wear one of his super bowl rings.

If you know me, then you know @j_allgaier is my favorite driver in the O'Reilly series, and I'm ecstatic that I finally got to meet him. He even complimented my shirt and gave me a fist bump. He's easily the nicest driver I've met! @ryanblaney10 is still a close second.

The cup race was great! And so many people left during the rain, that we wound up sneaking into some fantastic seats just past the finish line for the O'Reilly race. I screamed until I lost my voice cheering for Allgaier, but he got in the wall in the closing laps and came home 4th.

I still had a fantastic time, but in 21 years of going to races, I've still never got to see my favorite driver at any time win a race in person. We've still got the cup race at @martinsvilleswy for this year. Hopefully we'll see Blaney win another clock!

I've known @heythanks_la for almost 9 years. But in typical touring band fashion, our interactions have been sharing the stage here and there, and blue moon texts here and there.

I'm so happy their routing worked out where we got to hang out for a whole day instead of just at load in. I got to show them around my neck of the woods and be part of taking @thejeiku to Cook Out for the first time.

Please go support these guys as they're touring through the northeast and midwest over the next few weeks. It's Jeiku's first tour and he's got such an infectious stage presence.

Come back to NC any time guys! You've always got a place to crash 💚 taken in Welcome, North Carolina by @sadtiger_

Thank you, Charlotte.

I'll always have a love for stepping on stage at @amossouthend, everyone who makes these shows possible, and everyone who comes out for them.

I've gone back and forth on posting this. The last two years around my birthday, I've posted my cashapp and venmo as a way to let people send me money if they wanted to. I'm appreciative of those who did...

I wasn't going to do that this year, because honestly, I don't even care that today is my birthday. But I figured my birthday would bring more eyes to my page. This month has been really difficult.

Somebody stole my bank information and spent a lot of money without me knowing. I finally got that sorted out, but had to borrow money to pay bills while I waited for my new card. Last Monday, I thought I was finally caught up, but then Tater's health tanked and the emergency hospital in Greensboro steered us to euthanasia.

I had to max out my credit card with a $685 hospital bill (plus an extra $90 for cremation services), and lost our fur baby in the process. Chelsea had enrolled the girls in pet insurance at the beginning of the month so we filed a claim, expecting to at least get a partial reimbursement. Yesterday we found out the coverage doesn't start until tomorrow. Too little, too late.

So in this moment of grieving, I'm asking for help. All I want right now is to pay this hospital bill off and let go of the financial burden that comes along with losing a loved one.

The world is cruel. But if anyone would like to help us pay this off, I don't care if you call it a gift or condolences or charity, I would just greatly appreciate the help.

My cashapp is $CBWDrummer
Venmo is @cw_drums

Thank you.

We miss you so so much Tater. I hope you found Latte at the other end of the bridge. by @sadtiger_

Last week was fun.

Played my first show with @lose.lose_band at @thedenshows. It's looking like they're gonna keep me around for a little while.

Went to @bowmangraystadium with @chelly_kay90 on Saturday, and @badslawfromkfc linked up with us. Had a fun time walking the pits afterwards.

Mindy showed us her new nap position.

I have no idea where life is going from here. Back to work.

5 days into tour. Everyone in @senecaburns hates each other. But everyone is also hungry and broke.

Watch us fight in Pensacola tomorrow if we don't kill each other today.

Friday was a really cool experience.

I had bought tickets for @chelly_kay90 and I to go see @adamraycomedy months ago. I remembered getting the two front and center seats, but I didn't remember getting the meet & greet upgrade.

When we walked into the theater, they gave us wristbands for after the show and we were so excited.

@personofcomedy @fostercomedyclt and the opener (I feel terrible I can't remember his name) were all fantastic. Adam absolutely crushed.

Meeting Adam after the show was so cool. He took the time to meet each person/group individually and talked to them for a few minutes. He even FaceTimed my mom and sent her a signed T-shirt.

I'm always awkward about handshakes/fistbumps/hugs and which one to do, so it was really nice being greeted with a handshake and he gave us hugs when we left. He's such a genuine person and I'd recommend that anyone who likes stand-up should put him on your bucket list.

Also wanted to note that Adam is officially the only man to call my mom a bitch to her face and she didn't get mad. Only because he was talking like Phil. True legend.

Thanks for the laughs Adam! taken in Knight Theater at Levine Center for the Arts by @sadtiger_

286 days.

286 days of feeling void of purpose.

286 days of sorting out what I thought was the best place for me... for a place that made me feel like I was worth next to nothing.

286 days from the last time I stepped off stage to when this first picture was captured.

Never again will I stay away that long. 286 days reminded me that nothing will ever make me feel as whole as I did in this shot.

Sunday, we come back to the city where this journey started for me almost 11 years ago.

Come see @senecaburns FINALLY play @etc.gso

Come support @nervoussurface @peachcreekma and @withlove.reilly

Come give me a hug, and tell me how your past 286 days have been. There's a lot of catching up to do.

Swipe to the end for a picture of Willow. 🐈‍⬛ taken in Etc.gso by @sadtiger_
