Chris	May 2 2008 8:50 AM I'm in the Jockey Underwars finals and if I win, I secure the $25,000 prize. Voting lasts from today until Sat. 1:00 AM and you can vote once a day. To vote, you have to create an account and confirm by email (this is very quick…please let me know if you have problems). To watch and vote for the match (I'm dancing in my underwear outside Fenway Park before a game), you can go here: http://www. jockeyunderwars. com/match/334 If you're wondering what this is about, I've been battling in the Jockey Underwars as Danny Morsel - a contest where you upload a video of yourself dancing in your underwear and compete against other "Underbuddies".

Laugh4Paul	May 12 2007 8:47 PM Nick - you can sit up front, they won't spit - Thank you for "friending" the Laugh4Paul MADD Comedy Benefit Show. But now we only have a few days left to the BIG show and we need your support. What happened to Paul was a terrible thing and it is time to celebrate his comic vision and to show some love to those who are most traumatized by this event. We need you to show up and to bring all of your friends to the show. It will be this Saturday May 19th. Doors open at 7:15 PM and the show will start at 8. We have a wonderfully diverse line-up of performers designed to give you a "smorgasbord" of comedy. Remember, Boston has historically been a hot-bed of comedic talent with many national headliners from our backyard. I assure you that someday you'll look back on this show and say "I saw that guy when he played for Paul"! The show will be at the conveniently located Auburn Elks Lodge, just 7/10th of a mile south of Masspike exit 10 on Route 12 (it’s on the right, you’ll see the sign). That's minutes from Worcester and only 40 minutes from downtown Boston. We are requesting a $15 donation but please, pay what you can afford. Tickets will be available at the door and the room seats 350. This isn't about the money; this is about showing your love for the family and supporting your comic friends. Spread the word – repost like mad. Comics can care; see you there!! JimB
