Give blood at the Laugh Factory (West)

From the LA Weekly:

There’s got to be a joke here: At the Laugh Factory’s Hollywood Cares Day, you give blood while comics perform onstage (we’re thinking about a “little prick” or “I laughed till I clotted!”). We promise it won’t hurt a bit. Every donor gets free Laugh Factory tickets, a goodie bag, food and a raffle ticket for pricey prizes. 8001 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood; Sun., Aug. 21, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Reservations recommended: Call Katherine at (323) 656-1336, Ext. 203.

Nice idea. Some years ago, the Male Half of the Staff heard that a blood drive was going on in Syracuse, so, during a radio appearance, he pledged to give a pint and urged listeners to do so. (Of course, he also pledged the same for the Female Half, but she has been banned by the Red Cross from giving– she tends to pass out. And they can’t find her veins… and her blood drips out too slowly… They finally told her never to come back.)
