It’s officially April, the official month of the OFFICIAL Chemically Imbalanced Comedy Super-Fun Bowl-A-Thon Extravaganza 2008: SUPERFUN!
I just made that title up.
But we are having a Bowl-A-Thon, and it is happening on Sunday, April 27th. We’re raising money for an air conditioning system, to ensure a comfortable summer of cool comedy at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater. CIC is a not-for-profit theater, which means that all donations are tax-deductable. And hey, won’t you feel good about yourself, supporting the arts in a tangible way?
You can make a flat donation, or sponsor a bowler at a per-pin level (a nickel, a quarter, a buck a pin). You can even challenge us to do wacky stunts for pledges. How about a dollar per beer imbibed? A quarter for every time we do a little dance when we bowl? Ten bucks per frame if we bowl in formal attire? Use your imagination. Photographic and/or video evidence can be provided.
There is an element of competition to the Bowl-a-Thon, as CIC associates have been pitted against each other in the race for pledges. Mr. Tony Lawry is currently bowling over the competition, but artistic associate Lina Bunte is hot on his tail! And there are still twenty-five days of pledge-driving and smack-talking to go. Why not check out the standings and select a bowler to sponsor, yourself?
Of course it’s not all about competition. It’s about supporting awesome comedy and the arts in Chicago. But if last year’s spectacle of Dave Whalley in a pink lace bra can be repeated in the process? All the sweeter.
