Subject: A Mother Jones event in February - would you be available?

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
Associate Publisher
Mother Jones

Subject: We are interested in booking your services!!!

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

Hola Bill,
I wanted to let you know that I am the newly elected president of the Bill Santiago Fan Club - San Francisco Chapter. The three of us in the club watched your performance on Comedy Central this past Friday night and decided we needed to unite ourselves in order to promote you and enlighten our gente with you as our leader!!

Then, last Saturday night, I went to see my friend Jacqueline Rago perform at La Peña in Berkeley, and walking out I picked-up a calendar of events for Jan/Feb 2004. Noting that you will be there on 2/6, I immediately informed the other club members and we will be bringing in many more future fan club members in February. We're even talking about making buttons.

On behalf of myself and the club, te deseamos unas fiestas felices y muchas
bendiciones en 2004.

xo,
betty

Bill came to us as part of a program curated by and featuring Culture Clash. He absolutely won over our audience in a very tough "house" and had them right where any politically oriented comedic performer would want an audience - right in the center of his hand. (He worked on a stage that is separated from the audience by 40 feet of water and he still communicated with the crowd as if he were in an intimate coffee house. We were amazed.) His material was timely, topical and intelligent. The audience was very responsive and we are seriously interested in bringing him back - quite possibly next year as a lead in to the fall elections. That night our audience was a mix of folks of different generations and different ethnic backgrounds. In spite of the edgy quality of his work, we did not get any negative reactions and heard only positive reactions during his routine and from people afterward.

Hi Bill,

Thanks so much for performing. You were brilliant, politically astute, funny
as all hell... I don't know how much political comedy you generally do, but
I'd say it's your calling.
