Guess who's coming to dinner?

Well folks, we met and it is a match! No, not a new girlfriend!

On Friday morning, (Yesterday) I met with two beautiful, distinguished and sophisticated women from Detroit for breakfast by the name of, Terri Covington and her beautiful mother, Willia Write. Terri Covington is the “Director of Development” at Detroit Central City Community Mental Health in Detroit. They have graciously decided to partner up with The Homeless Comedy Tour to help provide whatever needed within their power to make this tour successful!
They have also committed to setting up our October 1, 2010 send off show in Pontiac, MI which promises to be huge!! They have the venue in mind which we will reveal at a later date when confirmed.

We came together through one of her employees who attended Chaplins Comedy Club where @therealamaru was Headlining in Clinton Township, MI a week back. She enjoyed the show and was very interested in the tour after it was mentioned on stage by @therealamaru. She followed up with @therealamaru after the show for further information. She went to work that Monday and passed the info to her boss, Terri Covington and the rest as they say…

As mentioned earlier, we met for breakfast to discuss what role her organization could play to make this tour as successful as possible. Out of this meeting came a theme song for the tour called, “HOMELESS”, sang by Ronnie McNeir from the hit recording group and legends, “The Four Tops”. We also received a new T-shirt and a beautiful poem written by Kenny Corr to apply to our fund raising efforts.
Once the details are worked out we will put the song on this site and our upcoming website which will be up and running by Monday morning. Check back here or Facebook on Monday for the site name.

We have much more news to reveal. We just want to hammer out some details before we totally spill the beans on the master plan. Just know that the tour is moving full speed ahead! We have 6 states so far locked in for venues! We have two shows in one night in the state of Virginia! They are super excited! Our goal by the end of the month is to have 25 confirmed venues.

Stay tuned and stay positive! Thank you Terri Covington, Detroit Central City Community Mental Health, and family for your helping hand in this history making event!

Remember, “It’s only impossible until you do it!”
