Pajama Party at SOTPlayhouse

Pajama Party at SOTPlayhouse
Photo-A-Day #1484

Today when I woke up I saw that my friends SmilieShorts and Chica kicked butt for hours and commented like champs. They went above and beyond to help me try and win a comment contest to get $400 for Walking 4 2nd Base. And then I’d have gotten $400 for me which I was going to use for four of my favorite charities. Alas their efforts, while fantastic and again, above and beyond, were just not enough. I sent out calls for help through most of the past month to nearly 700 people and then there was my twitter reach and the calls fell on many deaf ears. It happens, we move on.

SmilieShorts is doing the Relay for life tonight and that is after staying up till midnight last night commenting on this blog. She has a goal of $100 in fund raising and she is 10% there because I donated. Can my readers match me? Let’s help April reach her goal.

Christian from Speed of Thought Playhouse also commented at 2:53am. He said that there was a Pajama Party tonight at Speed of Thought Playhouse. I went on down to check it out and became the official video man for the night. It was another night of wild and crazy improv fun. I need to figure out a better way of securing the camera. However, after many different positions for the camera I finally figured out the best place to put it. I finally got everything working. I think that eventually we’ll get some places set up for more permanent camera locations.

BenSpark’s 2009 Photo-A-Day Calendar

Back by popular demand is the yearly Photo-A-Day calendar. I wasn’t sure if I was going to do one but I received quite a few requests to make one. Last year I raised money for the Machinski Family by selling my 2008 Photo-A-Day calendars. This year I am raising money for The Relay for Life. Allison is a team captain and both of us will be participating along with Eva.

I ran a little contest to help me choose the 12 best photos for the calendar. I received a lot of great suggestions and I took many of them. I also picked a few that I really liked. I created the calendar at lulu.com again and it is easy for you to order. Here are the photos that make up the calendar.
