Kinko for President 2008!
As the 2008 presidential election draws near, the American people demand a new kind of leader. With "Kinko for President," the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus offers the big-top solution! Kinko the Clown stands for change...spare change. He's willing to do whatever it takes to bamboozle the public. And when it comes to throwing his hat in the ring, Kinko can't be beat--from hat tricks to juggling hats, this clown is your candidate! Bindlestiff Family Cirkus's newest production is a full-force spectacle, where the circus meets the media circus, sideshow marvels meet campaign carnivals, and the audience meets one of this country's oldest traditions--the variety arts. Like all political campaigns, Kinko's campaign will include sleight of hand, tightrope acts, death-defying feats, slapstick comedy, and more. It's time to put a real clown in the White House--Kinko for President!

Seeking Volunteers for Kinko for President Campaign
Bindlestiff seeks Kinko supporters to help with the campaign. We are seeking volunteers for assistance during the theater run and also a public art project. Volunteers get to see the show for free at the Zipper Factory Theater. We are also seeking help with a public art/performance display thanks to chashama arts, who have offered the Kinko for President Campaign a window on West 37th Street as a "campaign office." It will be a major window display, hopefully with a live interactive element, from Sept 25 through Oct 7. If this sounds up your alley, let us know--we are soliciting ideas...
If you are interested, please contact Ellia Bisker, Kinko Campaign Volunteer Coordinator: ellia@bindlestiff.org
