PROJECT HAIRCUT!

Jimmy Aquino here. Your friendly neighborhood podcaster. I'm co-host of COMIC NEWS INSIDER (CNI), the podcast about comic books, sci-fi, animation and pop culture with news, reviews and interviews from some of the biggest names in comics and TV/film. I'm also a big ol' hippie! I've had long hair for about 20 years and usually get it trimmed annually. Well, I've finally decided to chop it off! Not all of it, but a good chunk. And to feed my massive ego even more, I'm making an event out of it!

 

The New York Comic-Con (NYCC) is coming on April 18th-20th at the Jacob Javitts Center. It's a big nerdy convention that will be full of comic book folk and celebrities. CNI will again have a big booth in the Podcast Arena doing live interviews, autograph signings, a charity raffle and more. And...I've decided to do the big cut as a charity and fundraiser event! The cut hair itself will go to LOCKS OF LOVE. And here's where I need your help. I'm asking for a flat fee pledge of any dollar amount. $1, 5, 10, 20, a gajillion..whatever you want! We will send money off to LOCKS OF LOVE along with the hair and the rest will be used as a fundraiser for CNI to help cover expenses. I'm still working out details, but I may possibly have a celeb do the actual snip! Who knows? Maybe we'll sing a tune. Stay tuned!

 

The haircut will take place on Saturday, April 19th at the CNI booth. Time is approximate, but will happen sometime between 1:00-1:30 p.m. Following the cut, as I've not known any other hairstyle for 20 years, a stylist will be on hand to work the new hair over. Feel free to come watch and suggest a style. Mohawk? Mullet? Bob? Heck, I wont even know until she's done!
