I’d like to alert everyone that the “Final Trial” for this has been bumped up to September 26th, which is the public Grand Opening for the new Poets House space in Battery Park City (announcement below). I made this move for a few reasons:
1. First and foremost, I have not met my fundraising goal of $5,000. I am up to $800—which is fantastic—but I won’t be satisfied until I reach much higher.
2. This date makes much more sense, symbolically, than the arbitrary Labor Day that I had originally chosen.
3. Finally, last week was a little crazy for me—professionally and personally. My life is still in a lot of flux, and it’s made my schedule volatile. While progress is being made, I feel off my training schedule a little.
So, please continue to spread the word… Don’t forget: ledges of $1 per-push-up will now get you a free copy of the limited edition hardcover of Zachary Schomburg’s new book, Scary, No Scary. That’s a $30 gift!
