Matt Baker Pulls A Stunt

Midway through this year's Springfest theme of CarnEvil, SAB will be playing host to the truly talented combination comedian and stuntman Matt Baker.

On April 18th, 2012 ISU at 7:00 pm, Idaho State University’s Student Activities Board presents the combination comedian and stuntman Matt Baker. He has made appearances at college campuses across the country, as well as on the hit NBC show America’s Got Talent. According to his website, “Matt’s comedy ranges from stories about being raised in a quirky family to the 10 best ways to break up with someone without getting physically hurt. No matter the age or background of his audience, Matt will have them unified in laughter […] Matt’s likeability and off-the-cuff humor gives him the rare ability to connect with his audience and make every show unique. Matt’s comedy is sharp, edgy and hilarious, without being inappropriate.”

This event is the Wednesday event for the week of SpringFest’s “CarnEvil.” Free surprise giveaways related to the show itself for the first 100 attendees.

Admission is sold at the door and free for ISU Students, $3 for faculty and staff, and $5 for general public.

Seriously, the juggling freaks me out a bit...

Until next time,
Probies, out!

Also, here's a little inside scoop. We're doing a FLASHMOB! It may or may not be on Monday....

Semi-Secret Flash Mob - Facebook Event!

The inspiration for this year's theme comes from a picture. A random picture we came across, and has inspired the events, prizes, carnies, videos, posters, and our general thought processes!

How sweet is this picture!

You should also check out this seriously amazing video. Over 100 hours of work went into this piece of art. Yes. We suffer for our art! (But seriously, planning, filming, editing, it's a boatload of work. A boatload I say!)

Seriously love this video! And we here at SAB and Creative Productions hope that you do too!

Until next time,
Probies out!
