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 to be determined). 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!
