O. Henry Pun-Off needs help

I've been communicating on and off with the O. Henry Pun-Off people and Gary Hallock, the festival producer, needs some help for this Friday Night!

This Friday is the annual dinner where they honor a favorite punster of the year. Gary would like a Keyboardist to play a Paul Schaffer like character and help out with rimshots, horn sounds, and other various musical ticks at the right comedic times (usually following a bad pun).
No real music is needed, just someone good at making sound effects on a keyboard, though if you knew some simple stuff like the Jeopardy theme it might come in handy).

The dinner is this friday from 6ish to 10ish at the Spaghetti Warehouse. You will definitely be comped dinner and other compensation may be offered as well. Plus, you'll get to help reach out on behalf of the AIC to another thriving artistic community in town and have one more event for your artistic resume.

Because this event is Friday, he needs to hear from people ASAP. If you are this person or know someone who is (spread the link to them), please e-mail or call Gary at the information below.
(If you do, please cc me or drop me a line on here letting me know you called so I can stay abreast of where he stands.)

e-mail:
gary at hallock dot net

phones:
(Home) 512 plus 973 plus 9929
(Cell) 512 plus 971 plus 7997
(Work) 512 plus 453 plus 4431

Oh, and if you are registered to compete, he'd love it if you'd come out to the dinner as well. He's trying to build his community and sphere of influence just as we are and he's been kind enough to come out to several improv shows. It would be nice to return the favor and make his event a success.

Thanks for the help! AIC Represent!
(Filling this puts us another step closer to being the local "go-to talent pool" for other similar odd jobs and events)

Are you being ironic or genuine?
