GIGANTIC CHECK!!

Following some medical problems my friend Cubby found himself in the hospital for a few weeks--WAY TOO LONG considering he doesn't have health coverage right now-and of course the bills will be piling up.

Cubby performs  with Whipsuit monthly, when in good health (FIST SHAKING.)  He wasn't able to make it out to O'Neals for their regular show. In an effort to help and offset his costs as best we can, a bunch of improvisers participated in a show spearheaded by the other half of Whipsuit, Rick Horner.

Following the event, while walking out of the bar with a GIGANTIC CHECK prop, I was stopped a number of times. Without ever actually requesting contributions, the power of a massive banknote raised interest and awareness for a worthwhile cause. I got the opportunity to talk to a bunch of really good people. We shared stories, I heard songs and one girl even took off her shoes (I'm still not sure why, but she seemed genuinely concerned about the situation.)

I am absolutely astounded and impressed by the inspiring actions of so many people who took interest in the life of a stranger.


Thank you so much guys, it was beautiful and amazing.

Oh, and to the girls with whom I chased the runaway hat: HELLO!!!
