Hello beloved FOTs,

I'm going around annoying everyone with this contest Chase has masterminded that makes nonprofits beg for votes from their friends and stuff on Facebook.  

Sound lame?  It is.  No hiding that fact.  But we're doing really well in the polls and seriously in the running to win $20k if we remain in the Top 200.  Right now we are at #39 with 20 days left in the process.  It is rare for charities to get the opportunity for that much scratch especially one as small as us.

Who are we?  We are The Hypocrites.  We do cool (at least I think we do) art in Chicago for people who want unconventional theater without pretension.  Here's a video I put together of some of our recent work: http://vimeo.com/12764204

You might also recall a "dramedy of errors" as Paul F. Tompkins coined it where PFT, Scharpling, and myself got into a weird, confusing joke after PFT tweeted about hating our Off-Broadway production of Our Town.  It led to hilarity if not to a ringing PFT endorsement of that particular show of ours. :)

We've had some FOT voting love already with Mr. Tom Scharpling, Hman, David the Intern, Barry Egan and more, I think.  It's hard to tell beyond that but it's amazing!

If you can spare the two min to sign-up and vote on Facebook, it would be much appreciated.  If you want to spread the word, there are easy prompts to put it on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.  Really whatever you are comfy with, please do.  If you aren't, no worries.
