Okay, here we go!
I know, every one has been waiting patiently for some news and updates on the tour. So have we! It is finally here!
Are you READY?
THE TOUR IS BEING POSTPONED! Why? It is simple. We are not ready! We didn't have the financial backing and the machine needed to move it forward effectively. We have one shot at this very sensitive movement! It can't look like some bootleg tour. This tour started from the mind and pockets of one man and a few donations here and there. This movement has become bigger then imagined!
NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS... we now have the backing needed to move this project forward full speed ahead! We now have the machine needed to make this tour a success! As of 7/14/10 we have a team of esteemed professional who have been dubbed, "The Deal Makers", who have come aboard to make this tour a success. This includes a development deal for something even bigger then the tour which will be revealed a little later on in the weeks to come. We are working out the details now and will keep everyone informed.
The tour WILL HAPPEN! Just on a larger scale! It will be moved to a future date to be determined.
It has been a hard road! We have done a lot to prepare for this and want it to be a life changing experience for everyone involved. We want to end homelessness and in order to do that we have to have all of our ducks in order and everything in place logistically and financially.
If you would like more info, as always, send an email to info@thehomelesscomedytour.org and someone will respond to your questions as soon as possible!
We want to extend a gratitude to those who stuck in their with us and continue to! People have come and gone throughout this endeavor. For those who hung in there, because of that dedication we will see this dream become a reality on a massive scale! Thank you!
STAY TUNED!

I can't believe what happened this morning!
(Please excuse grammar and punctuation. Still calming down from the experience)
I just experienced the most racist thing in my life there today! I stayed there last week twice. I am from MI and have put in over 500k miles in travel over the last ten years. I have stayed in thousands of hotels and have NEVER experienced what I experienced this morning July 2, 2010 Frank Martini he said his name was. One day after praising the experience and the people there.
First I walk in as I did before, nothing different then the last time. I am happy these days because something major is about to happen for the tour and my career! I thought nothing could tamper with that till this morning.
I wanted to get a dorm like before and two girls that I didn't see the first two times before were at the front desk asked me my age, I told them and they said, "No. You are too old! You have to rent a single" which is substantially more then the dorm. I then explained to her that I was here last weekend with no prob. In fact, the guy that was already there looked like he lived there and was at least 50 years old!! "Well, we made a mistake" she says. He's still in the dorm!! I ask for a manager. This immigrant comes out and looks at me and says, "No. You don't look like a traveler. You can't stay here!" What?!!!!!!!! We only rent to travelers and back packers and passport holders." I am a traveler! I got back packs in my car that has a MI plate on it! I rented from you twice last week!" He says, "Well, we made a mistake!" "Twice", I said. "Sometimes we make mistake 2 and 3 times", he says. He is saying this while my MI drivers license is in hand. I wanted to say, you don't look like an American but I didn't. I asked for his card and he says he doesn't have one. Then just to be an s.o.b., he ask for mine thinking that I didn't have one. I whipped one out and handed it to him then he says, "I don't need a card! Call your lawyer!" What?!! At that moment I had to leave or their would have been an international incident so to speak. I was shaking in fury that a man who I am sure experienced his own racism coming to this country would blatantly racially profile me. Their were baby's in that s.o.b.!! I was shaking so bad but again, I have too much going on right now to jeopardize my freedom and status. I can't jeopardize what we have put into this tour. I had to keep the "hood" buried in me at bay.
MR MARTINI, if that is your name, I WILL BE BACK WITH A CAMERA CREW! I'ma make you famous for the wrong reasons! Don't bring to this country what we already have a problem with!!!!!!! So disgusted at what I thought was the best little hole in the wall ever!!!!!!
