We've finalised the details on our first fundraiser, which will actually be the second fundraiser in the series.
I really wanted to make the fundraisers fun for everyone — fundraisers that I would want to go to. So I tried to think of what fundraiser I'd been to in the last year that I didn't go to because of the cause or because a friend was on the board. This winter I went to a fundraiser for a Little League team! LITTLE LEAGUE. A non-hockey-playing group of child-people — can you think of anything I would care about less?
And what made me hand over my money for 50/50 tickets and basket raffles and bar food? Comedy. And not even the cool Neitzsche's comedy, because I'm still mad at Nietzsche's for making me share the bar with a cat all those years and then not letting my dog in. No, this was SUBURBAN comedy. Rob's Comedy Playhouse in Williamsville. Which sounded really far away to me, but really only took me twenty minutes to get to, so I should stop my whining about that.
Here's the thing about Rob's Comedy Playhouse. It's in Dandelions, on North Forest Road. I grew up on North Forest Road, just past the next intersection from Dandelions. And my next-door neighbour owned Dandelions. While I lived there. But this winter was the very first time I went inSIDE of Dandelions, reinforcing my long-held belief that I actually never go anywhere.
So, join us on July 22nd at Rob's Comedy Playhouse, on North Forest near the corner of Maple Road. Tickets are $25, and include your first two drinks. Doors open at 6.30, show goes 7.30-9.00. Basket raffles (plenty of hockey stuff, of course) and a 50/50 (no, we probably can't convince a Sabres Alum to do the draw), and hilarious laughs courtesy of Rob Lederman and Mark Saldana!
Look for the Pay Now button in the right-hand column to purchase tickets to Headliners for Haiti!
