The Third Leg » The Fox and Einstien 2009 North American Tour Plays Puerto Vallarta, November 11

This summer I had the privilege of being in Toronto at the Madison Avenue Pub when two performers took the stage in an all-out effort to raise money for the Puerto Vallarta Kids of the Dump charity. They raised around $10,000 Canadian that night. A week later, they raised over $7000 US at a similar performance in Saugatuck, Michigan (gringos are generally cheaper than Canadians but their dollar is worth more…). The third (and last) leg of this three nation tour is here in Puerto Vallarta on November 11.

With a combination of stand-up comedy shtick and country western slapstick, Einstien and Fox put on a show like no one else in Vallarta. Fox is the owner of Café Roma here in Puerto Vallarta and “Einstien” is the owner of The White House Bistro in Saugatuck, Michigan.

The show starts at 6 pm, Wednesday, November 11, at Café Roma, Second Floor of Encino 287, in downtown Puerto Vallarta, across the street from the Cuale River and half a block west of the Municipal Mercado. Come early and eat and drink and be prepared for surprises. 322-111-7378

All donations go directly to the Kids of the Dump.

The party will be on two levels, at the lower pool bar and in the upper level restaurant palapa. It will continue virtually all night for the hardiest and free transportation in the Casa’s van will be available from around 11 pm or so down the hill to Olas Altas (or close vicinities). Taxi service is also easy and economical up and down the hill.

The Party begins whenever anyone shows up at the Casa and ends when the last person leaves. The costume contest awards will be made at approximately 10 pm and you must be present to win. Anything goes before or after.

A special Halloween menu will be available in the restaurant (what do you serve on a special Halloween menu?) and there will be surprises all night long.
