Friends it’s that time again! Chicago Sketchfest is back and so are we!

We know we’ve been any from the scene for a while and we’ve got some ‘splaining to do and we’ll be filling you in on what we’ve been up to in the coming weeks. For now though…

CHICAGO SKETCHFEST!!

4 years ago Long Pork debut as a team at the Chicago Sketchfest so this one is personal to us. With that in mind got a new show chock full of tons of new material!

We’re excited to say we don’t just have a new show… we have TWO new videos debuting at the show.

So you’re probably thinking “THAT SOUNDS AWESOME! WHEN? WHERE? HOW MUCH?”

Whoa, settle down. How does… Friday January 13th sound and $12 sound.

(aka tomorrow night if you’re reading this as it’s posted. Tonight if you’re reading this on Friday and yesterday if you’re… you get the point.)

That’s right… Friday January 13th at 11pm at the gloriously renovated Stage 773!

We were fortunate enough to nab a recommendation from the fabulous Miss Nina Metz of the Chicago Tribune.

Tickets are still on sale but we anticipate that it may sell out on Friday night! Grab your tickets online or at the Sketchfest box office. and let us know you’re coming on Facebook.

Hey Pretty People!

We got to meet the very friendly, super handsome, I think we’re currently in love with, Kendall Bruns. Kendall was awesome enough to interview us for our upcoming Chicago Sketchfest 2011 show. Check it out here:

Let’s Get Serious. with Kendall Bruns

Also, we have been so busy creating our show that we have been remissed in our duties to let all you lovely people know that we HAVE A SHOW in CHICAGO SKETCHFEST 2011!! WHAT?! WHY ARE WE yelling. Okay. Back to normal.

Come out, tomorrow night to Stage 773 and see us perform at 9:30PM with the experimental GERMANS! Tickets $14. Get those here: GERMANS & LONG PORK

Can’t wait to see your pretty faces there!

That’s right pretty people!

Tonight is our first-ever probably-not-annual fundraiser!

“Hit Yourself in The Face With a Guitar!”

Come party with us, check us out, hit on us, and maybe try to take one of us home.

The show is $10 and it’s a fundraiser to help us send Long Pork to Sketchfest New York City! We’ve already been accepted, now we just need to figure out how the frak we can afford to get there. (Yes, I said frak, thankyouverymuch.)

In all seriousness we’ve got a great show for you folks tonight and we’re really excited to see all your smiling faces. For your $10 you’ll get to see two awesome bands who are graciously donating their time for us:

Common Shiner
&
Barehand Jug Band

On top of that we’re really excited to announce that we’re partnering with Social Media Club Chicago and are an official after-party for tonight’s SMC meeting! So come, socialize, rock out, network and have a great time! There will also be raffles where we will be giving away some amazing prizes. It’s all to support a really great cause (us) so come on down and have a good time. Maybe we’ll buy you a drink!*

Also, if you can’t make it tonight, or it’s now Friday and you’re just now seeing this in Google Reader you can still help us out by donating: via PayPal.

Here’s the details:
