Our sponsorship of a Luchador Tag-Team has raised some eyebrows and in the case of Pete some other umm…body parts have been raised but we won’t expand….on that.

For many DHP members the Luchador is a symbol of coolness. It’s tie to the Kustom Kulture world in which many of us dwell (when we are not driving - fixing - breaking vws) is well documented. We thought it would be cool to share a little historical information on Luchadors with the followers of this blog. We figure, if you’re following this blog, sweaty guys in masks in close proximity to one another won’t bother you at all.

For Immediate Release

By press release

TUCSON –
The Dry Heat Panzers (DHP) of Tucson, Phoenix, Albuquerque and Pennsylvania announced their planned sponsorship of Tag Team Luchadors “El Paquete de Carne” and “El Pego Burro”.

“I am very pleased that our club is continuing it’s long legacy of financial support for the highest forms of athletic competition and the arts.” acting club President John Clevenger said. “I have met with representatives from the Pro Luchador Wrestling Circuit and remain convinced that DHP through our sponsorship of El Paquete and El Pego Burro will continue to have a tremendous impact on the pageantry, grace and shear awesomeness of Mexican Wrestling for decades to come.”

“It is an honor to make this contribution. A willingness to give and an attitude of servitude are among the greatest characters in being DHP,” said club COO Mary Jane Sarff. “DHP is committed to the state of Luchadors in our communities. I believe this sponsorship will further showcase to the rest of the world our great admiration for these artists. I want to thank Governor Perdue and the General Assembly for their leadership and commitment to sociopathic development and tourism, which this great partnership will certainly contribute.”

The North American Professional Luchador Association (NAPLA) represents the highest level of Luchadoring in the western hemisphere.

Our fore fathers were all baby daddys.

“Was he the one armed boxer?” “No! he was just a bum!”

So wow…Bugorama was a “stone groove” my man. To say we had fun would be as understated as stated can get. We are honored that the good folks at Bugorama promotions allow us to represent them at this annual event. It is one of the hi-lites of our year every year. It is a signature event for us at this time and one we participate in with great pride.

We’d like to send a special thanks to Steve and the assorted Holes and all the good folks at BOR promotions and of course we extend a extra-special thanks to our honorary DHP member Frenchy. Thank you for trusting in us, it means an awful lot.

Here’s the vid…enjoy

Truth be told, they’ve always been DHP.

The beast of Yucca flats made me pee my pants.

On Nov. 9th 2008 the Lowlifevw.com Benefit VW Show was held at the Yucca Tap Room in Tempe, AZ. The show was put on to benefit our good friend Andy Ham as he has some pretty serious medical bills and stuff. We…DHP were honored that we were asked to participate. Lowlife is our information super highway home and we’d do anything for our homies up there.

In any case it was a bomb-a_s show and a bomb-a_s time. We’ll get some pics and other stuff up soon.

We want to send a sincere best wishes to Andy Ham, and we’d also like to send a special thanks to Thayer and the Lowlife crew for being down and for letting us be down too.

Here’s the vid…enjoy!

NOTE: PG13 or so…we kept the language in cause this is lowlife.

DHP NM Wes is a TV repair man, he has the ultimate set of tools.

Well…not much to say…Wes is a bad a_s.

Easily one of the most significant motivators in DHP going Pink is Lisa’s Story.

Comic artist Tom Batiuk, creator of Funky Winkerbean had a huge impact on us with the tale of his character Lisa Moore. Her battle with breast cancer was both heart breaking and inspirational. It’s not often that a comic strip changes it’s stripes and tackles such a meaningful subject but we applaud Mr. Batiuk for his efforts.

Here’s a link to the all knowing all accurate Wikipedia Lisa’s Story

Here’s a link to the official Lisa’s legacy Fund site…yes an actual fund set up for a comic character…awesome.

Lisa’s Legacy Fund Official Site

Also here’s the link to Lisa’s Story the book on Amazon…recommended DHP reading…very moving…wow.

Pink and Link.

Here’s a great link that was passed on to us by a co-worker of Lemorris. He saw what was goin on with the site and he sent us this:

_____________________________________________________________________________

Here’s a link you can add to the DHP site, Lemorris:
Click here to visit The Breast Cancer Site

Just by visiting once a day and clicking the big button (and viewing the ads) you can contribute to funding mammograms for those who cannot afford one themselves.

And shopping in the site’s store contributes even more.

Plus the site runs all year, not just in October, so you can visit daily all year round to promote awareness and prevention..

So DHP says thanks to Paul V for the link and for checking out the site. We also want to thank Mercedes S. for the cool Pink Panther idea. Good stuff folks.

Doing things that matter…DHP

Wow! Big time changes huh? Well what can we say…we like it.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the DHP crew has decided to step up and show some support. Breast cancer and actually cancer in general has touched many of us over time and statistically speaking many more of us will be touched. Admittedly it is a little sad that it takes a touch or a tragedy to get people off there hinders but the “why” we’re doing something isn’t near as important as the “what” (pun craftily intended)

It is our intent to show support and help increase awareness so we will be using our site to distribute information and even a few stories of hope this month. Doing things that matter is something we encourage all VW clubs and air-cooled fanatics to get behind. Maybe your “matter” is The Children’s Hospital, maybe it’s old building restoration, maybe it’s a big scary man who wants to hurt you (El Guapo)…lol…sorry that was funny…anyway it doesn’t matter what your “matter” is. It can be all of those things and more…just do something that does….we are.
