I want to thank all of the fans who are connected through Twitter as well! OMG!! People are stepping up to the plate and making things happen!
We are selling Cd's for the upstart of this thing. Someone has started on a t-shirt design for the same purpose and to raise awareness. Some of us saw it today. Three different Blogger's have posted and done story's on the tour. Pat Godwin volunteered his services to the tour.
We have a 501(3)c status with 10 plus years under it's belt. Saved us a lot of paperwork and waiting. It's just too good to be true! The thing is, it will only grow and get bigger and the next thing you know, homelessness is a thing of the past!
I've sent out 100's of emails and I am pleased to say the clubs and Booker's have been responding with open arms. One agency in the East Coast offered all of their clubs up for the tour! That is a wonderful thing! It shows me that Americans still have a back bone to do what needs to be done to make it better for their fellow man. We saw that with the unfortunate and very devastating Haiti disaster.
We are setting up shows now. Working on the details. They will be posted soon!
Again, thank you lady's and Gents for all of your hard work and support! It's not going to be an easy task but if we stay focused on the goal, we cant lose.
Please, everyone who has not done it already, go to http://www.homelesscomedy.blogspot.com and follow the Blog for update purposes on the tour, dates, progress, meetings, needs etc.
If at ANYTIME you have a suggestion, chime on in. And speak up, so we can hear ya!!

UPDATE on what we need and have to offer to get it...
Hello supporting cast of the Homeless Comedy Tour of 2010!!
We wanted to speak about what the 50 Clubs 50 States, in 50 Days Comedy Tour for the Homeless needs to get off the ground.
It’s very simple for the beginning stage. Look at this as pre-production for a film. Pre-production are all the things that need to be done before the actual production, the actual tour i.e. the production, starts October 1, 2010.
We have been thinking of ways to finance this endeavor without strapping us financially when that financial hurdle was in place to begin with. So while brainstorming on or about ways to come up with capital to fund this thing we thought about and asked ourselves “What resources do we already have”. Sometimes in life we worry so much about what we don’t have and lose site of what we do have. What we do have is music and t-shirts. @THEREALAMARU is willing to donate all proceeds to @HOMELESSCOMEDY towards this effort. (www.cdbaby.com/cd/mistawoosaa) This is courtesy of S.O.T.A. Records LLC. Not only does is he a stand up but he is also music publisher and producer/artist MISTA WOOSAA. (SESAC affiliate)
For the t-shirts they will be designed and printed once we get the funds to do so. If you have any t-shirt design ideas please feel free to chime in. Whatever this shirt says it will go down in history. Right now the only shirt we have available to get the ball rolling on financing is another @THEREALAMARU product which is located at (http://www.amaru.spreadshirt.com) Again, after Spreadshirt takes their tremendous cut all proceeds will be donated to the tour.
If you have anything you want to sell and add to this somewhat garage sale on Twitter then let us know and we will pump it for you for that purpose.
We are not asking for a handout nor do we want charity. We want to end homelessness without gouging the Nation. The only time we want money from this country is when the tour begins October 1, 2010. Even then, all we want is $1.00 US from each American. No, we are not Haiti but I think our homeless deserve a little bailing out too! A permanent bailout! I gave to Haiti and also performed at a charity benefit in their interest and am proud I did. However, I will be so disappointed in the American people if we leave our own in peril and suffering. In less then a week 200 million was raised to help in Haiti. I feel in 50 days of a tour we should be able to raise an END TO HOMELESSNESS! PERIOD! We have no excuse!
We still need help in a few areas such as promotion, publicity, a sponsorship detail and much more. Those experienced in event planning and are involved with Twitter make your presence known. Like Uncle Sam, WE WANT YOU!!
This will be the best Christmas present ever!!!
Stay tuned for more updates as they come in.
Thank you in advance for caring!

50.50.50 Comedy Tour for the Homeless PRESS RELEASE!!
The Homeless Comedy Tour. Org
THE MISSION:
PROFESSIONAL STAND-UP COMIC AMARU will do what a few others have done before, but like P. Diddy, here’s the remix! A tour bus, a camera man and a comic will travel through 50 states, perform in 50 clubs, in 50 days, to raise over 300 million dollars each year for the homeless, with the end goal being to end homelessness within 10 years. We will start by providing first month’s rent and deposit for EVERYONE that is in need, especially those with children.
We would like to build a facility that houses the homeless nationwide with the specific and mandatory task of caring for them with respect and dignity, while preparing them for re-entry into society, as productive and successful US citizens. We do it for criminals, with a new prison going up every other month, so why not for people who just need a reset button in life?
This idea was the brain child of Amaru. It was actually his New Year resolution to “End Homelessness”. His 2009 New Year’s resolution was not to eat beef and pork. That promise to himself, and God, was a SUCCESS!! So what’s 300 million dollars? Once homeless himself, Amaru knows what it feels like to be in need, out in the cold and not having a place to call home. Although he, himself, is now a successful comedian, that means nothing to a bad economy. A bad economy knows no class! Most Americans are a paycheck away from being out on the street. While getting back on his feet, Amaru was without a lot of things we take for granted and found out that the most giving people on the planet, are the homeless. People who had nothing themselves shared with Amaru. The kindness showed towards him by those who couldn’t afford a tooth brush was at times overwhelming for him. Amaru felt he could do more. He felt like life doesn’t have to be this way in a country we happily boast as being so great. How could this be possible in the home of the brave and land of the free? How could this still be possible in the 21st Century?
Amaru didn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to comedy. Amaru’s comedic style is simple and broken up into 3 comics you’ll recognize. Amaru brings to the stage the truth and brutal honesty of the late great Richard Pryor. The savvy and quick wit of the late great Robin Harris. Last, but not least, the story telling and endearing characteristics of an Eddie Murphy. A club owner once billed him as, “Picture Bill Cosby raising his kids in the hood.” Hmmm…
He has earned his way working with such notable celebrity acts such as: David Alan Grier, Billy Gardell, Steve White, Pat Godwin, and Oscar winning comedian and actress, Mo’Nique. He has performed in clubs across the country such as The Tampa Improv, Shreveport Funny Bone, The Comedy Zones and Funny Business comedy clubs and more.
The end game is to “END HOMELESSNESS”! PERIOD!
This tour is being fueled and powered by Twitter users all over the country! It is a work in progress. Once folks figure out where this could take American society in a year, they will jump on board without hesitation! Let’s get everyone in every state to donate $1 and end homelessness, starting Oct 1, 2010 in Michigan. Wouldn’t this be the ultimate Christmas present by the year 2020?

There’s no script! No business plan! All we have is an outline and a determination to get AMERICA to do something about our dirty little secret… HOMELESSNESS
WE APPLAUD WHAT WAS DONE FOR HAITI, BUT NOW IT’S TIME TO TAKE CARE OF HOME!!
