Rest in Peace, Willie Garson

Just echoing what I said on Instagram…

Sometimes, there just aren’t enough words. Rest easy, WG. With your wit, brilliance, kindness, and generosity, you have touched the hearts of so many in this world, including countless folks who’ve never even had the pleasure of knowing you personally. Our thoughts are with Nathen and with Willie’s family, both close and extended. Be at peace, friend. Cancer sucks.

Happy Birthday Jamis! (plus podcasts!)

First off, Happy 22nd Birthday, Jamis!! In spite of the pandemic, this guy has had so much going on over the past year. He spent the fall semester doing remote classes for his sophomore year at Yale, he’s been working behind the scenes at the Chris Rose Rotation podcast, he’s been training (baseball) in Florida and Texas, he played for the Westhampton Aviators in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League, and oh yeah, he released a great single, “Ghosts,” as Mohw.

Here’s this year’s birthday collage on Instagram – and scroll down to listen to the new single, as well as for info about recent podcast appearances from Tim and Jamis!

And now for the podcasts – Tim has appeared on two podcasts recently (in addition to the Pack Podcast), one with Jamis and one on his own. First, Tim appeared with brothers Paul Francis (the host) and Ted Sullivan on The Best Minutes Podcast back in late June – this was on our Twitter account, but I’m posting the link here for those who aren’t on Twitter. And then more recently, Tim and Jamis were talking baseball with Denny Barrett on the Swing Hard Podcast. You should be able to listen to both of these at the provided links without signing up for any accounts, or if you prefer, just check where you normally listen to podcasts!

Enjoy – and again, Happy Birthday, Jamis! πŸ’™

Tim on The Pack Podcast – Sonia, the Warrior Goddess

Great news – Tim is back for another episode of The Pack Podcast, just in time for Aragarna’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Ara πŸŽ‰)! This one is called “Sonia, the Warrior Goddess” and also features Jon Tenney and Julie Brown.

As before, you can listen on The Pack Podcast website – let us know what you thought of it in the comments below!

The Pack started out performing original one-act comedies by Emmy-nominated and Drama Desk Award Winner Eugene Pack live in theaters, but COVID-19 forced them to move their shows to an online podcast format, and they returned with spoken-word radio plays, with the cast participating and recording from their homes. The podcast benefits The Actors Fund – checkΒ this linkΒ for ways to help.

Happy Birthday, Tim!

Sending out big birthday wishes to Tim, who turns 58 today!!

It’s been a crazy year for sure – last year’s birthday took place during quarantine, and a year later, most places around the world are still under some kind of restrictions/quarantine. There is an end in sight, though, and we’re hoping Tim will be able to have a wonderful birthday this year. (And since it’s on Saturday, he should just celebrate all weekend long, right?) Here’s hoping, also, that the upcoming year will be full of great things for Tim and his family!

Leave your birthday wishes for Tim in the comments or on IG and we’ll make sure he gets them! πŸ’—

7 Years of Team DeKay!

Wow! Can you believe it’s been 7 years since we officially launched Team DeKay? It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it’s been so long!

We actually started posting on the site way back in early May 2014, but we waited until June 1 to officially launch so that we had some content on the site, and because June is Tim’s birth month!

The site came about after Aragarna and I (Daclaren) were discussing the fact that Tim had no active fansites at the time, no place for fans to find up-to-date information about his current and future projects. We knew he, and our fellow TDK fans, deserved better and decided to create a site where folks could find info about Tim’s latest projects, as well as photos, videos, and more. Ara already had the Tim DeKay Forum message board, and I had an Instagram account for fans of Tim – we combined the two and expanded to become Team DeKay!

Now, here we are, seven years later! The site has grown to become Tim’s official fan site, we have active accounts on all major social media platforms, we paired with Tim in back 2018 (at his request!) to help him raise money for breast cancer research through the Real Men Wear Pink campaign, we’ve earned the support of the whole wonderful DeKay family, and we’re still continuing with that original mission of bringing you the latest about Tim’s projects, appearances, etc.

And we couldn’t have done any of this without all of you! Thank you so, so much to all of those who’ve joined us over the past 7 years – those who’ve been around since the beginning, and those who are just discovering us. We really, truly appreciate everyone’s support, we love your enthusiasm, and we’re incredibly grateful for those who send in tips and/or photos, post comments, like and share our posts on social media, and so much more.

Much love to all of you, and much love and respect to the entire DeKay family. Here’s to many more years supporting such a sweet and talented actor and his family. πŸŽ‰πŸ’–

Happy 30th Anniversary, Tim & Elisa!

Today marks a wonderful milestone for Tim and Elisa – it’s their 30th anniversary!

These two are a beautiful couple, amazing parents, and they’ve been so gracious to us here at Team DeKay for nearly 7 years! (Has it been that long already?!) We’re sending out much love and best wishes to them, today and always! Happy Anniversary, Elisa & Tim! πŸ’•

Leave your anniversary wishes here in the comments, and we’ll make sure they get them – or post them on Instagram!

Tim (and Willie) on The Pack Podcast – One Year Later

Here’s some exciting news – Tim is back for another episode of The Pack Podcast, and this time, he’s co-starring with none other than Willie Garson!

As the title – One Year Later – suggests, this one is about two friends catching up over Zoom after a year of dealing with Covid. Each one represents a stereotypical way of dealing with quarantine (we all probably know some of each type), but to two very different extremes.

Without giving anything away, I’ll say I wanted to be more like Tim’s character at the start of quarantine but definitely ended up more like Willie’s character. (And I know I’m not the only one!) πŸ˜‰

Tim Live on Cameo Calls

Here’s some fun news – Tim will be going live on Cameo Calls on Sunday, March 21 at 8pm EDT / 5pm PDT, and you could have a chance to talk to him one-on-one! Here’s how it works:

For $30, you’ll get a 2-minute, one-on-one video chat with Tim himself, as well as a photo with him at the end. (The event benefits PATH – People Assisting the Homeless – in L.A.) Tim said he’ll be on for about 40 minutes, so several people will get a chance to chat with him. Team DeKay member Kelli B. said chances go quickly, so be sure to have your payment method ready before the event starts!

You can find Tim’s Cameo page at this link. I’m not very familiar with Cameo, but I believe you have to sign up for an account (free) and download the app (also free) to participate in the Cameo Calls event.

Good luck – if you get through, let us know how your chat with Tim went!
