Artists’ Recovery Fund and Comics In Action
So. You want to know what all the hush-hush has been about the last few months? Well, I’ll tell ‘ya.
Comics In Action has teamed-up with Greg Brown, Nikki Lunden, Bill Peterson, the UI Juggling Team, the UI student-lead Paperback Rhino improv troupe and The University of Iowa COGS to perform at Old Brick in Iowa City on November 13th for what will be a series of performances whose proceeds will ALL go to the Artist Recover Fund. Whhhhewwww. Let’s all step back and take a breath. Yeah. That’s a mouth-full.
What began as a simple concept, has now become physical and there’s no denying it: This will be BIG!
