Flat Man & KellyBoy Present, “Thinking Inside The Square” On Monday the 30th of September until Sunday the 6th of October an epic event will be held in Christchurch. A weeklong event unlike anything Christchurch or the world (ok that may be a long stretch) has ever seen. Two men will throw themselves at the mercy of the cold Canterbury winds, the threat of hunger and thirst, sleepless nights and on-going challenges that will stretch them to the limits of human endurance (ok that may be a slight exaggeration as well). On the Monday morning local hero FlatMan and Kelly Boy from the charity SmileDial will step into a four metre square cage where they will confine themselves for one week. Wearing only the clothes on their backs and with no supplies they will be calling on the generous spirit of Canterbury locals and businesses to supply them with everything they will need for a weeklong stay “in the cage”. Over the week FlatMan and Kelly Boy will carry out a number of challenges to raise awareness of their individual charities and to work towards the goal of raising $50 000. This money will be used on a number of projects including the purchase of a vehicle for a SmileDial family, funding for Flatman to set up the first FlatMan Manor and a joint venture to send 4 families of four to the Gold Coast. Remaining money will enable both FlatMan and KellyBoy to continue their work in the local community and New Zealand. Through the week there will be daily performances outside the cage by local musicians, artists and all manner of entertainment. There will also be daily challenges between FlatMan and KellyBoy (with EPIC punishment for the loser), all followers on the event Facebook page can also issue challenges to either (or both) KellyBoy and FlatMan, if the price is right they may just carry out your challenge. With a 24 hour live webcam, daily video updates to YOUTUBE, interviews with local celebrities, television commercials made by FlatMan and KellyBoy promoting sponsors and EPIC giveaways this will be a week filled with some great entertainment. The Classic Hits breakfast crew will also broadcast live from the site on day one and give daily updates every morning to listeners. More information will be released in the days and weeks ahead including information on how to issue challenges and support Flat Man and KellyBoy in this most epic of fundraising events. Please note a 30 minute break once a day has been allowed for showers, a porter loo will be placed just outside the cage (even superheroes need numbers ones and twos sometimes). The venue for the cage is still under negotiation but details will be released very soon. EPIC.
