July 17, 2002Fight Censorship Like A ProEnnis, Conner, Palmiotti and Mounts Appear in NYC to benefit CBLDF
Garth Ennis, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Paul Mounts have created a monster and you're invited to celebrate its birth. On Wednesday, July 24, PRO, the story of the world's first super-powered prostitute hits the streets of New York with a gala signing at Jim Hanley's Universe and a raunchy after-party at Josie Woods Pub. Both events will benefit the CBLDF. Ennis, Conner, Palmiotti, and Mounts will be at Hanley's from 4 pm to 7 pm signing autographs while the Fund signs up members and sells a benefit print available only at this event. "If you like this book, you need to join the Fund," Jimmy Palmiotti says. If you sign up for membership at the signing we'll enter you into a drawing to win cool stuff from the Pro team and the Fund. "I want to see a new record set for members signed up in one day," Palmiotti says, "So come out and show your support." After the signing mosey over to Josie Woods where you'll be able to booze into the wee hours with Garth, Amanda, Jimmy, and Paul. Palmiotti says, "The $5 cover benefits the Fund and enters you into a raffle to win artwork, DVDs, music, assorted X-mas gifts we didn't have the balls to return, crap that we need to get rid of, a porno movie or two, a grab at Nelson's ass. We'll even have our very own "pro" at the party that will be giving lap dances away as prizes." "We hope to raise enough cash to help the Fund pay for the legal representation we're gonna need for doing this comic, so come to the signing, come to the party, and buy a few raffle tickets. Everyone will win something, even if its just a drunken good time." Everyone over 21 is invited to the Josie Woods party and bringing friends is encouraged. Come out and have an evening you wish you'll remember and help the Fund raise money to fight new threats against free speech in comics.
