It&#8217;s the little things that can bring it all to a screeching halt.  <strong>Think about it.<\/strong> You can throw the greatest party in history: send out the coolest invites, bring in a hip music act and invite the who&#8217;s-who in town. But if you run out of ice or toilet paper, the night is going to end on a sour note.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luckily this year some people have really stepped up to lend a hand.<\/strong> I have to give a shout out to Co-Producer Patrick Schmitz. He has always been a great asset to the festival, but this year especially.  Anne Cauley was brought on to the team to help with development, and she organized a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\">Kickstarter<\/a> campaign that raised more than $2500.  All the money raised goes to help support the growing comedy scene in Milwaukee.  And of course Joel Dresang has been a huge help with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.milwaukeecomedy.net\">Milwaukee Comedy<\/a>.
