Default Announcing Joker-Thon 2008!

Due to the overwhelming success of Joker-Thon '07, we here at Joker Industries are proud to bring you yet another insomnia-laden, hair-brained idea. Remember, Joker Industries, LLC for all of your crazy. Fly your freak flag proud, but only if its made by JI.

Here's the way it works:

Joker has to get to Key West in the end of May for a wedding. Sure, its not the typical Joker Misadventure (TM), but it'll have to do.

But, Joker is piss-poor at managing the meager funds he makes as a professional kitchen pirate. The trip and all accoutrements will cost a boatload.

The Good:

Airfare into Miami, roundtrip from BWI, plus a car rental to drive into Key West works out to be $300 or so, after a split with several friends. Can I sniff out a deal or what- its $600 otherwise to fly direct!

From there, hotel rooms average $110/night and up. 5 days, and .

So, Joker is staying TP hostel style whilst his friends stay in the lap of luxury, with their private bathrooms, room service, and chocolates left on the pillow. Problem is, the Key West Hostel is still $30 a night. (!)

So, here's how it works: I will rely on my TP homies to help me fund this Misadventure. Donations, no matter how large or how small will be accepted in US currency. No need to PayPal me, just drop some cash in an envelope and I'll be sure to add your name to the long list of benefactors.

There isn't a catch- there is no obligation once you've sent me the cash. If not anything, it'll obligate ME to never ask you for money again!

But wait- there's more!

For the person that decides to give me the most, I will mail you an 8x10 glossy, personally autographed by yours truly, doing something stupid/drunk/dangerous/wacky, or all of the above. Just think- something to put over the mantle piece- a photo of me with a beer glued to my forehead or other such silly.

Rules and Regulations:

All funds must be recieved no later than May 1, 2008 to be qualified for the grand prize.

Funds must be US currency only. Checks are accepted, but they'd better not bounce!

Drunk dials from me should be expected at some point. I'm sorry to our West Coast TPunks, but I'm several hours (and beers) ahead of you at all times, and this may come at an inopportune time. Just hit "ignore" and enjoy the voicemail.

All contributors will get either an email from me whilst in Key West, or a post card from the same.

In the event of a tie (like, say, Mike sends me $6 and Jake sends me $6) you both get photos.

In the event that the wrong person gets the inscription (Jake gets Mike's, Mike gets Omi's, etc), I reserve the right to let ya'll forward it along to the right recipient. Sort of the gift that keeps on giving, but doesn't require a penicillin shot.

Okay, as of right now, the Joker-Thon 2008 Phone Lines are officially open.

If you'd like to contribute, please PM me for a mailing address. Sorry, no PayPal or COD.

Thanks and have a pleasant tomorrow!
