Rick Adam - AKA Professor Paddy-Whack was robbed of equipment last night in Connecticut and wrote the following on Facebook this AM. I am helping him to put together a GOFUNDME page. Please help if you can!
"I’ve been robbed!!!....No really!
Not a very sunny day for the funny wagon. This morning I got up at 5 o’clock in the morning in Branford Connecticut to head to New York City for 4 days of shows and I discovered that my truck has been broken into and most of my equipment has been stolen. Sound system, microphones, backdrop, and all of the handcrafted shadow puppets and cutouts for my show called Shadowtales . Motel 6 had four trucks broken into in the parking lot that night.
I am devastated, I am heading back to Maine to try and make props and salvage the rest of the tour. The show must go on! Otherwise, I don’t get a check and I go out of business after 40 years. I have not yet talked to my insurance company but I suspect that because I do not have a business policy we will not be able to cover much. It’s the props that I’ve created over a lifetime that is the greatest loss.
This is very hard for me to do but, I need to ask my Community of artists and friends for help. I’ve never done a GOFUNDME project but I think this is the time if anyone can help me put that together I’d greatly appreciate it.
I’ve got a run back to Maine turn around pick up new stuff and right drive back to Connecticut, so I’m going to be busy.
Love to all,
Professor Paddy-Whack.
P.S.-On the bright side, they did not get any of my musical instruments or my one-man band. They left that in the truck."
Any amount is appreciated greatly!
Thanks so much!
