One of my do gooder friends is always trying to raise funds for some significant cause. She's a local celebrity that rubs elbows with the rich side of town so she usually has no problem picking up dough. (I don't really know if that's true. She is a charming and lovely person which is why she probably easily raises funds.) She ask me to contribute some entertainment to the night's festivities at a local tavern and I was super pumped to oblige.
It was fun.
There were even little pig cookies that her mom made. I ate about 6 of them. Well over my fair share. While I wasn't singing (a bit drunkenly) I was a sort of bullying emcee for the evening. I think at one point I instructed bar patrons to "reach in their pockets and take the biggest bill and throw it in the fucking tip jar!" I dunno. It worked I think. A lot of money was raised.
The way the "kiss a pig" thing works is this: people sign up to raise funds for a cause (in this case the American Diabetes Association) whoever raises the most money gets to have the "honor" of everyone watch them kiss a pig. I thought this was a thing that everybody knew about. We did it at my high school's pep rallies and shit. But my wife was pretty confused by the whole deal.
I do think that it was successful though. My guitar case was full of dollar bills.
Money spent so far: $258.54
