Dear Bill,
I hope the holiday season is treating you well! All of us at Mother Jones were thrilled you were able to participate in the State of the Union Comedy event in New York last September. It was a rousing success and you were, among the audience and the staff, one of the show highlights.
I'm writing today to see if you would be available to be our 'guest of honor' at an upcoming event for Mother Jones here in San Francisco. Each year, as a special thank you to our major supporters we throw a donor recognition party. It's an intimate affair-usually 40-60 people-that gives our donors an opportunity to mingle with staff, our board of directors, as well as each other.
When discussing the event this year your name came up immediately. With the often serious tone of our magazine and coming out of a disappointing election year we couldn't think of a better antidote than humor. We would be honored to have you join us for this special event if your schedule permits.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Sincerely,
Steve Katz

Hello Bill:
Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Monise Quidley and I am the Director of Development at PHILLIPS Programs. We have an annual gala, and would love for you to be our entertainment!! We saw your stand-up performance Monday night at the Comedy Concert for Children's Hospital.
So I was wondering how I would go about getting information regarding your availability, booking fees, etc. I would appreciate having that information as soon as possible. Thank you very much and I'm still laughing!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Monise

"My only ambivalence about Bush," Bill Santiago mused at the Herbst "Going Away Party," "is whether I should take him out myself." Pause, accompanied by cautious laughter. "To lunch, I mean," he clarified. "and talk some damn sense into the boy." The place erupted. By both airing and deflating his own hostility, Santiago had momentarily opened and cleansed the audience's dark spirit.”

Robert Hurwitt, Sending up Bush with a right-wing conspiracy theory cloaked in lingerie
“At Sunday's matinee, Bill Santiago ("born in New York, like most Puerto Ricans") did 20 minutes of quick, cogent satire about the president ("a man who could drown in a shallow think tank") and his administration of "born-again Christians from the oil industry" (people who "don't believe in evolution and made all their money in fossil fuels")… Santiago proved political satire is alive in America.”

Bill--
You were absolutely great. Thanks for doing it. Many people are still buzzing about your performance.
Perhaps there's a way we can work together to take the MJ The State of the Union Comedy on the road somehow. We'd like to find more ways to work with you. Let's talk again when the dust settles.
Thanks again,
Eric
