Tim Postlewait has been a fixture in the Beaumont nightlife scene for decades. As a bartender and manager at the long-time favorite West End watering hole Thirsty’s, Tim has given just about every musician in town a place to perform at one time or another. He’s encouraged and supported us all over the years. It’s our turn to return the favor! Tim needs surgery, and while the doctors and hospital have a plan, the upfront costs are staggering and preventing him from being able to get the help he needs.

In addition to this GoFundMe campaign, we're throwing a big bash to help raise money for Tim's medical expenses.

Please join us for Tim Fest at Thirsty’s on October 26th from 1-6 PM (or later) for a day of live music, food, and raffles to raise money for Tim’s medical needs. We have an incredible lineup of live music including Ryan Gist and Trevor Batson, Joe Delgadillo and the Alley Kats, Ethan Osbourne, Melon Jelly, and more! There will be amazing food for sale including gumbo, potato salad, links, and desserts. We’ll also have some great items like original artwork, vouchers for acoustic house concerts from area musicians, gift certificates for area businesses, and more up for grabs! Come show our friend how much we all love him and get him the help he needs.

Where: Thirsty’s, 229 Rd #1, Beaumont, TX 77706

When: Sunday, October 26th, 2025, from 1-6 PM (or later)
