The Secrets Thus Far

Want to see the secrets we’ve used in the first 4 shows of Austin Secrets?

My Special Assignment: Donate $50 to the Red Cross

Tonight in This Week Tonight, I directed a scene in which Jessica played the last Democrat with a spine, pleading for healthcare reform on the floor of the Senate. Occasionally she’d take words from the audience to help her with her speech.

One of the words shouted out was “Haiti”, which Jessica worked tastefully into her speech.

The Editor-In-Chief gave me a special assignment for mentioning Haiti, even if it was the audience’s suggestion.

The special assignment, however, is one near and dear to my heart. He declared that I had to go home and donate $50 to the Red Cross for the Haiti relief fund. I promised I would, and that I would post proof to the blog.

So here it is:

If you’d like to donate to the Red Cross as well, click here.

Cheers,
Roy Janik
