Just like you, Matt Wild plays (played?) in a rock and roll band and is constantly broke. He has all his original hair, however, and weeps openly at baseball games.

Your Support
Is there anything more sublime/sublimely ridiculous than walking through downtown Milwaukee, smoking a cigarette in the rain?
Yes.
Walking through downtown Milwaukee, eating a hot dog in the rain.
Also: I recently came into possession of a 17-year-old Bartles & Jaymes wine cooler. In the spirit of lousy publicity stunts that go nowhere, I'm thinking about setting up an on-line donation program in which friends and strangers alike could "pledge" a small amount of money. Once a certain amount had been reached (I'm dreaming of $1000, though it would probably be more like $8), I would swallow my pride, put on my best pair of suspenders and drink the god-awful thing. Kind of like in high school when you and your friends would chip in to make some pasty, acne-scarred freak eat a piece of pizza that had been lying on the lunchroom floor since third period.
The money could be donated to charity, and the actual drinking of the near-fossilized beverage could be posted on YouTube. Nothing better exemplifies the wonders of the digital age than a poorly compressed video of a guy getting his stomach pumped.
So what do you think? If a sizeable sum could be reached, I would be forever in your debt (or not), and would, of course, thank you for your support.
