As you can imagine it has been a bit hard to keep the site updated the past week. We have our boots on the ground, helping the city we love. We are doing our best to keep our Twitter and Facebook accounts loaded with as much helpful information as possible. So check those out and share the info.
The podcasting has not stopped. There is more info then ever that people need to know about. If you have info you need to get out there next week, please e-mail us at wellthatscool AT gmail – or contact us via twitter or facebook. This week on the podcast, we plan on having a special guest call in, Roll Bama Roll’s Kleph.
We are proud to be partnering with our friends at Roll Bama Roll, for a little something we are calling, The Sunshine Express. Kleph is driving a 26 foot long truck from Los Angeles to Tuscaloosa, filling up the truck with supplies and donations along the way. We all know people across the country looking to help but are uncertain as to what they can do… If they are out West, this is how they can help! People will be able to make donations, knowing that the supplies they donate will be handed out to the people of Tuscaloosa who need them. So if you know people along the route, tell them to help fill the Sunshine Express.

We are proud to have partnered with our favorite bama blog, rollbamaroll, to sponsor The Sunshine Express. The express was a cross country donation drive of much need relief supplies donated by the Bama family all the way from Southern California to here in Tuscaloosa. The truck was driven by RBR author Kleph. After dropping supplies here, he also used the truck to ferry goods to many of the surrounding areas including Jasper. The amount of love and help we have seen has been nothing short of a miraculous. While just a drop in the bucket, we realize this is a marathon and not a sprint. Wellthatscool, as well as RBR, are gonna roll up our sleeves and be with it for the long haul. We have ended our podcast from day one with this as our motto: “Improving Tuscaloosa Together.” In a small way, this was a tangible proof of what needs to be done and will continue to need to be done. We are gonna get through these dark times together.
