Karmatunity

My husband is making his dreams come true! (I mean, the ones separate from our positively dreamy life together, of course.) He -- along with two partners and a whole hell of a lot of supporters -- is opening an improv theater.

People seem pretty interested so far. (Side note: Where have all the copyeditors gone?) But as you can imagine, a lot goes into such a venture. Namely, money.

Construction begins in September with the hope of opening the doors in November. Our fabulous architect friends have generously donated their design assistance, but unfortunately Home Depot does not accept pretty ideas or even blueprints in exchange for wood. Which brings us back to the money. Got some? Want to support the enrichment of the Twin Cities theater scene? Or maybe just want to help show my kids that you can do anything you set your mind to? Please donate. Or ask your rich friends/relatives/employer to donate.

Here, let this video convince you:



As if the good karma weren't enough, it's also tax deductible.

And hey, while I'm asking for things, don't forget to vote for my essay in the Bourdain contest! Winning $10k could go a long way in relieving the anxiety I feel about my husband being a starving artist. Many thanks.
