HEADLINES:
- KICKSTARTER FOR "LUKE SKI'S AV CONCERT RIG" LAUNCHED!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/335203126/luke-skis-av-concert-rig
I would like from now on as often as I can to have the live shows I do be video-accompaniment shows, like the ones done by Devo Spice, the Gothsicles, Insane Ian, MC Lars, and many other FuMP colleagues of mine. This Kickstarter campaign is designed to raise the funds to acquire the professional audio & video equipment I need to make that a reality. My goal amount is $1,750.00. There are all kinds of nifty rewards you can earn for donating, including an exclusive t-shirt, custom-made artwork, puppets, and music, cake balls, a house concert, and more! To watch the video, read all the pledge rewards, and to donate (if you can), just go to the link above. (I have also put my Kickstarter video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwgq_kkhpIA)
UPDATE: I wrote this e-mail update yesterday, and overnight, my Kickstarter has already reached its target goal of $1,750! (Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated!) While I am thrilled about this, I want to make sure you all know that you can still donate to the Kickstarter to receive the nifty pledge prizes. My target goal just covers the cost of the new AV equipment, it doesn't cover the cost of the materials needed to create the nifty pledge prizes (t-shirts, puppets, etc.). So please donate, I promise the funds will go to continued Luke Ski fanservice!

- "HOW TO SPEAK SHOEBOX" by Cirque du So What?
Download it now for free at the FuMP: www.thefump.com
In 2004, Luke Ski went to visit ShoEboX of Worm Quartet in Rochester. Back then ShoEboX had a couple of sketches written which he recorded with Luke. For whatever reason, they didn't see the light of day again until the scripts were exhumed for use in "Cirque du So What?". The first sketch "Escargot Flambe A La Mode" was on our first album. The second sketch is now a FuMP offering, and it can be found on our latest album "Stupid Cowboy Thing - Volume 2: Additional Squid", available for purchase at the FuMP store, so enjoy your 8-years-overdue language lesson.

- LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT
Episode #062 – Post-Natal Freestyling
This is another Bad Rapport recorded with Luke’s Zen player in Carrie’s living room as she tends to the lactation-related needs of 7-week-old Alex. Once Alex is a little older, we’ll try to get back to recording our shows at Luke’s house, so thanks in advance for your understanding if the sound quality is sub-par. In this episode, we talk about seeing Nerdist Podcast live, Luke reports on MarCon, and Carrie finally reviews the ‘Boob Tree’/'Eat Poop You Cat’/whatever-that-game-is-called cards from the 17-person round played at MarsCon 2012. (Note: I edited 72 minutes of that down to about 6 minutes.) You can see the cartoony highlights we discuss on the show drawn by Lindsay Smith, TV’s Kyle, and Luke Ski at badrapport.com. There’s also News of the Stupid, and awesome tracks by Power Salad, Cirque du So What?, Scooter Picnic, Devo Spice featuirng Worm Quartet, Brak, The Main Street Singers, Adam Warrock, and the Guild. Episode length: 2:01:12

- "LET'S DO IMPROV!" by Cirque du So What?
Download it now for free at the FuMP: www.thefump.com
Back in my formative years as a comedy performer, I had two diametrically opposed schools of thought vying to influence me. The PG-rated ruled and structured improvisation club I worked at, versus the R-rated intentionally offensive dadaist anarchy that ensued when I filmed sketches privately with my close friends. This sketch explores the pros and cons of both, giving a loving hug and a middle finger simultaneously. This track is from our new album "Stupid Cowboy Thing: Volume 2 - Additional Squid", available now in the FuMP store.
