Congress of Adam

Jul 03, 2007 15:40

from my friend Adam White:

Hey, I rarely ask people for help, but this is very important. I have a new project that makes fun of the mess in Washington while raising money to help the troops returning with injuries from Iraq. To help, all you have to do is come to a comedy show next Tuesday.

Tuesday I am launching CongressofAdam.com, a website where inanimate objects compete against real politicians to see which one can achieve more. Is it going to be Mitch McConnell from Kentucky or the Porky's DVD donated by Troy at the help desk?
You choose an object that actually represents you. (I choose a version of Lord of the Rings that is divided into seven books.)
Send it to the Congress of Adam. I'll take a picture of your object and log it into my website.
Your object will serve a one-year term of office.
At the end of that year, your object will be auctioned on eBay as an official Congress of Adam politician, and the proceeds go to help wounded soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's free.
The slogan is "Finally, a politician you can afford."

I really need people to attend a show next Tuesday, July 10 at Comedy Caravan at 8:00. This is a fundraising show for Congress of Adam. Tickets are $10. Ages 18+. There will be quite a few different funny comics.

I've been working on Congress of Adam since January. I need to raise money to make the website better so that I can launch CoA nationally, and I need to collect a bunch of objects from people who like the idea. CoA will pick up momentum as the number of people participating grows. This time next year when Congress of Adam is going strong, I will get lots of media attention for being the only alternative to the real Congress. That will be awesome and hilarious.

I also must make sure that there is enough people there so that Comedy Caravan didn't just open up for me and my parents.

Show details
Comedy Caravan, 1250 Bardstown Rd.
Showtime: 8:00
Doors open: 7:00
Ticket price: $10 as this is a fundraiser
Ages 18+
And I don't plan on the show being too dirty.

Call 502.459.0022 to make reservations.

BRING an object to donate to the Congress of Adam, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of mailing it.

PLEASE forward this to any email lists you may be on.

Sincerely,
-Adam
