Friday night, the night before the Punoff we will be having extra fun. I will be moderating one of the events.
"FOR OUR MEDIA RELIEF:
What: Pre-Show Picnic and Punster Warm-up Showcase
Where: O.Henry Museum - 5th at Neches - Austin, TX
When:Friday, May 13th - 6:30pm - 10pm
Why: Rabble rousing and fun raising.
Who: Punsters United Nearly Yearly (P.U.N.Y.)
GLOBAL WARM-UP FOR "HAVE-WITS"
Can't make it downtown on Saturday for the 28th Annual O.Henry Pun-Off World Championships? Lucky you! Show up a day early for a few rounds of premature jocularity, music, pun & games. Event organizers and participants have arranged a special Pre-Show Picnic and Punster Warm-up Showcase for the evening of Friday, the 13th of May in O.Henry's back yard.
Ordinarily a semi-private function, this year's gathering of ladies and pungents preparing for the championship of fools will be open for public scrutiny. You are invited to join the jeering impaired as they preen and practice their perverse art in this cooperative and creative exercise. Witness the warped minds of the world's worst punsters as they hone their skills and sharpen their wits in preparation for the Saturday's big fun razor.
This special event kicks off at 6:30pm with live music provided by Los Klezmeros. The evening will be rounded out by punny performances, roasts, door prizes, word games and more music. Also scheduled to play are Steve Brooks, Marilyn Rucker and Lisa Rogers. Admission is free, but donations for O.Henry's wordy cause are always welcome.
While cautiously endorsed by the Friends of O.Henry and the O.Henry Museum, this unique event is hosted by P.U.N.Y. (Punsters United Nearly Yearly) and may not meet the same standards of decorum sometimes associated with the Pun-Off. Prenatal digestion is recommitted. These "Act One" festivities are expected to draw to a twisted end by 10pm Friday night. The actual Pun-Off will take place the following morning at 11am.
Throughout the evening a selection of food and drink will be available from The Bakehouse Restaurant. For more details call event organizer, Gary Hallock at 971-9929 or visit www.PunPunPun.com."
