SF Make-A-Wish Batkid caper: Update!

WOW, this is epic.

My friend EJ kindly got me involved in the SF Bay Area's Make-A-Wish Foundation "Batkid" caper coming up on Nov 15th. This is a really incredible wish event being organized by the Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation. I'm so happy to be helping out, and I'll be playing a certain famous monacle-wearing villian :)

Here's a photo (courtesy of the organizers at Make-A-Wish, follow Patricia @pilarwish on Twitter) of EJ and Me getting some good exercise in an empty AT&T Park last week for the first run-through.

You'll never catch me, caped crusader!

Here are the details from Make-A-Wish if you'd like to come out and cheer on cute 5-year-old Miles ("Batkid") as he stops crime in its tracks and achieves his wish of being "Batman for a Day"!

It's so great to see this story traveling far and wide -- hopefully that translates into lots and lots of people coming out on Fri Nov 15th to cheer on young, brave Batkid. See the above link from Make-A-Wish to get timings of events you can come and watch throughout the day.

Here's some of the press so far:
