We Need A Few Good Lunatics...

Have you ever felt that there has to be more to life than this? That there is a bud of tightly-furled lunacy in you that you've never had the chance to see bloom? That there are strangers you have not made laugh, neighbors you have not scandalized, and friends you haven't dragged into shenanigans?

(Or was that strangers and shenanigans, friends scandalized, and neighbors laughing? Whatever. Carry on.)

Have you ever wanted to look back and say "oh god I can't believe I did that?"

Have you ever wanted to stop and say "we are fucking AWESOME?"  (Or abnosome?)

Have you ever looked a people having a ridiculously good time that's probably illegal for anyone over five not currently wearing fingerpaint or pudding all over them, and thought, wistfully, "that looks like fun?"

Are you fearless?  Or at least, capable of saying "oh what the hell?"

Team Awesome Innuendo Wants You.

What do we want you for?  We'll get to that later.  Just sign here on this line by the x....


(Disclaimer: this will require one full week out of your life, most likely in August.  Some of you may be running away already.  Those of you who're intrigued, step closer.  Just a little closer...*hides butterfly net behind her back*)


[and yes, this IS International. Let no borders stand in your way!]

With a hook like that, who can resist. I already feel that seed of lunacy unfurling deep inside. August sounds like a lovely time to cut it free.

I am... intrigued

Not sure I'm up/down for it, but definitely curious.

I may not have an entire week of August, but can certainly provide cookies.

This sounds interesting...which week in August? I'm not sure how my life will be working out in August, but maybe...

"What the hell" - Yes

Alas, I am too much of an old grownup for this...but I would cheerfully lend aid where and when I can if there is any role for a sideline few :)

Okay, I'm officially intrigued.

I admit curiosity, certain sure.

My mom's side of the family already thinks I'm nuts and that's just because I want to be a writer instead of a lawyer.

I think I'll volunteer just because I tend to shy away from such things. Count me crazy, I mean in. ;-)

August is usually ridiculously busy for me at the day job, but I've got some friends that have participated the last couple years and they have a blast.
