Just 'cause it's for a good cause doesn't mean it can't be fun

Many of you know Chef Who Dat (note: click here for essential viewing) and the cavalcade of characters that inhabit section 641 of the Superdome. Here's the Chef before last season's Monday Night game versus Atlanta:

Like many (if not all) stadium secions, the season-ticket holding patrons at "Cafe 641" have developed a tight-knit community that's led to silliness, some bike crawls, and now, a cancer fundraiser with a twist. Per the e-mail I received today:
-
A Cafe 641 patron and season-ticket holder, Sean Niehus, is raising money for St. Baldrick's, a foundation that raises money for children's cancer research. Sean has agreed to shave his head at the annual St. Baldrick's shave-a-thon AND to grow a mustache. To help him raise money, we're auctioning off a pair of tickets to the 2010 Saints/Bucs game in Section 641, Row 40, Seats 13-14.
-
I like how not only is Niehus shaving his head, but that he's also growing a mustache in the tradition of Cafe 641's Patron Saint. Check out his picture, going from long blonde hair to a shaved head and a mustache would be a stark transformation. Gotta give to a guy willing to do that for a good cause.
-
Bid's can be made on the tickets on eBay here or you can donate directly to St. Baldricks by clicking here. And yes, that is Chef Who Dat in a wedding dress on that eBay listing. Not sure how that will help with the bidding.

Unfortunately, the e-bay auction has been pulled because . . . well, the seats don't exist anymore. Thanks Super Bowl 2013. Hope you enjoy your new press box. Sean will still shave his head to raise money for St. Baldrick's, and we'll donate a Saints game ticket(s) if either of us retain seats elsewhere. Thanks for getting the word out.
