Yes, yes YES! There are still a few Baldapalooza shirts available for $10 Canadian.
Here's what people are saying:
"It's the best darned shirt I ever did saw."
"Sort of feels like I'm draped in velvet when I wear my Baldapalooza shirt."

BALDAPALOOZA! is a performing arts celebration in honour of our good friend, Ken Godmere, and everyone else affected by this mean and nasty disease.
Ken has given so much to all of us and to our community with every step of his life and with every slip of his tongue, so it's only fitting that we throw a party to just say thanks, and to create awareness of this Creutzfeldt-Jakob thing.
Although BALDAPALOOZA! is a celebration, rather than a mope-fest, our hearts go out to Ken's entire family, his best-friend-and-wife and his two wonderful kids.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease might suck the big one, but BALDAPALOOZA! is about fun: we're going to witness some spectacular live music and gut-splitting comics (both stand-up and improv). In short it's gonna be a blast of a lifetime!
Two dates; two great venues; too much fun!
- Sunday, June 20th at Yuk Yuks (SOLD OUT)
Special limited-seating Father's Day dinner starts at 6:00 sharp (but get there for 5:00 for drinks and mingling); club doors open at 7:00 for non-dinner guests with performabces by Formerly Unknown and The Dead Flies; the official show starts at 8:00 but you'll want to get there early to secure a good seat
* Free parking at the World Exchange Plaza (a half-block northwest of Yuk Yuk's)
- Wednesday, June 23rd at Zaphod's with four great acts! Show starts at 5:00 but the doors open at 4:00, for mingling and making out. Don't wait 'til 5 to arrive!
