Chris Gethard Goes to Bonnaroo!
« on: May 23, 2012, 02:14:11 AM »
As discussed on this week's Best Show, my brother is walking from Los Angeles to Bonaroo over the course of 10 days, hoping to get help from strangers along the way.

This is a video he made with our mom about the trip.

I was there when my brother first revealed the details of this trip to her. She hasn't been as mad at one of us since the time I caused $1100 worth of damage to her Saturn trying to egg hippies the night Jerry Garcia died.

Please watch this and help my brother out if you can!

Perhaps he should seek the advice of John Waters as he's been having extraordinary fortune hitchhiking lately.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

He should consider being a stowaway on trains. Hodgman could even give him a proper hobo name.

He's not a Hobo.  He's a Tramp.

Chris returned safe and sound on this trip. He was sick for a few days after this, though, with flu-like symptoms. I can attest that my mom is still pissed.

The video involving throwing stars involved some New Mexico-based FOTs who heard about this on the show and came through.

Glad he survived!
