You Guys, 2155; AIDS’s Balls, 0

Submitted by on May 9, 2008 – 11:01 AM10 Comments

But seriously, folks: I only have $45 to go until I reach my AIDS Walk goal. Would you mind donating if you haven’t already, to get me over the hump? (Heh; I said “hump.”) And if you have already donated, which a lot of you have, I really extra-super-appreciate your support, and your willingness to kick AIDS in the slats.

Want to donate, but some other rad TN reader filled up my money tank first? Please do not hesitate to donate to the Supersnack team as a whole; if we reach our lofty goal of $50,000, we’re going to dye our hair. (You can do that by clicking here, if you like.)

Even better — come to the Supersnack team benefit next Friday, May 16th! It’s at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, and features performances from the Mountain Goats, John Oliver, and one Sarah D. Bunting will also read selections from her work, with pauses to kick AIDS in the balls.

Thanks so much for taking the time, and if you’re walking this year, congratulations.

  • Sarah D. Bunting says:

    And: done. Hit my goal! You guys are superstars, truly.

    I would really really love to see any and all of you at the benefit; if you can’t make it, please consider donating to the Supersnack team. Angela has worked incredibly hard and I would very much like for all her efforts to pay off.

  • Erica says:

    Greta the Bunny is in dire need of sponsorship.

  • Angela says:

    @ Erica, yes indeed! That right there is AIDSWalk’s only AIDS-fighting lagomorph!! She gets a piece of pineapple for every donation, too.

  • MsMolly says:

    You’re going to be on the same stage as John Darnielle and The Mountain Goats?! Oh if only I wasn’t all the way in the Midwest. I hope the fundraising goes well and the party is awesome.

  • Julie says:

    How could I resist that stern little face? Greta is now 1/5 of the way to her goal.

  • Shannon says:

    @ Angela: Wait, we get to kick AIDs in the balls AND give pineapple to a bunny?!?! This is better than Christmas!!!!

  • Laura says:

    Whhhaaaat? That’s a great lineup for your benefit; I LOVE the Mountain Goats. I sort of want to skip work and come down from Boston…

  • Jini Bedell says:

    A little extra for your efforts. Have fun and good luck!

  • Angela says:

    Greta says thanks so much to everybunny (…sorry) who donated to her!!! She has never gotten this much pineapple in one day before, but what the hell! You guys should know you also put Sarah into Gold Star Walker status ($2500!), which is capital-A Awesome.

    Here’s the benefit on Facebook – make sure to join up if you’re coming, and tell all your friends! It’s gonna be fun, plus I personally will buy you a beer if you show up. :)
