| Invite: Comedy Night feat. Dave Coulier of Full House Hello all. Some of you may or may not know but I lost my little 5 year old brother in 2006 due to a drowning accident at a country club in the MD area. It 100% changed our lives and I still struggle every day but running this foundation helps.... We began a foundation in his honor shortly after he passed called the Connor Cares Foundation. You can check out our mission, info, etc all at CONNOR CARES FOUNDATION; In Honor of Connor; Drowning Awareness (shameless plug - I designed the site! ) We're hoping this will be our biggest event yet and I wanted to extend the invite to any YT'ers who may want to make the trip, or anybody close in the area (Maryland) that was thinking about attending. Forward this to anybody you know! We've got about 100 tickets sold so far... approx 300-350 available. It features 2 Hollywood comedians -- Dave Coulier, aka Joey Gladstone from Full House, and Frank Nicotero, who hosted Comedy Central's Street Smarts and currently does Yahoo!'s Primetime in No Time! What: Connor Cares Comedy Night featuring DAVE COULIER & FRANK NICOTERO When: April 10th, 2010 Time: 7pm-1am Where: Blue Dolphin Restaurant & Grill 1166 Route 3 South Suite 201, Gambrills, MD 21054 Tickets: $75 (single) $125 (2 tickets) Delicious dinner, live music, Hollywood comedians, live auction, raffles, door prizes & more!

Thanks! We've done a few events in the past (our biggest being about 500 people) but they've all been mostly people we know around this community. This event has gotten a lot of people we wouldn't have before. I would *love* to have an event in Cali but unfortunately, we don't have the "crowd" there quite yet... once we become more nationwide.... for sure!

| Not sure if I'll be able to attend (it would be a very long late night drive home), but it sounds like a great event -- lots of fun for a great cause! I've written this to you before Britster, but I have to say it again, you did a beautiful job on your foundation's website to honor your beautiful brother. |

| Update-- This event was Sat. night! Went AMAZING!! We wayyy oversold. The place holds about 300... 320 max. We sold around 360, lol. So it was packed and some people stood only (including me, I gave up my seat, lol!) But it was hilarious. Frank Nicotero was the 1st comedian on, omg, I never stopped laughing the whole time he was on! Seriously. He was hysterical. I don't know why he's not a bigger star. You can see him everyday on Yahoo's Primetime in No Time internet show. But he needs to be doing more! Dave Coulier was super nice, and of course had a ton of Full House comments, people asking him if he could say "Cut it Out!" and he did his Bullwinkle voices and Jetsons impressions, lol. He was great and hilarious. He hung out 'til about 2am afterwards and was really nice. So here's me and "Joey Gladstone!" I'll be adding more pictures to CONNOR CARES FOUNDATION; In Honor of Connor; Drowning Awareness soon

| Glad to hear it was a huge success! Frank Nicotero is so funny, I used to love watching him on street smarts, that was the best show ever.

| What a wonderful thing you are doing to honor your brother and help our children as well. Bless you for not letting his death go in vain. Awareness is what we all need. A wake up call...It can happen in an instant. Everyone needs to be reminded of the dangers of water. Sounds like you had a terrific turnout. Glad you guys had fun they are both very funny comedians.

| Frank just shot me an email asking for my help! VOTE for comedian Frank Nicotero for the 2010 Webby Awards! He hosts the daily Yahoo! show, Primetime in No Time and deserves this vote! It's simple... Go to Webby People?s Voice Register your name, email and password, it takes 30 seconds. Click on your confirmation e-mail. Click on the ONLINE FILM AND VIDEO category and then click on VARIETY. Then click on PRIMETIME IN NO TIME. Simple as that. Thanks for your time!
