The event is free and open to the public. Purol is collecting donations and pledges for the program Outward Bound Los Angeles.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
man, you got me excited that they were going to start serving beer at the rose bowl. oh well, i guess the flask will have to do for one more year.
This sounds like a pretty boring stunt. Why doesn't he do something like juggle footballs while riding a unicycle through the Rose Bowl?
Outward Bound is a great cause...thumbs up to Jim Purol
They should incorporate something like trying to hit Jim using one of those t-shirt or hotdog firing guns you see at basketball games. Charge $1 to $5 a shot and perhaps a company will donate $100 for every time Jim is hit. Make it real interactive spectator event instead of watching a man sit up and down.
I'm confused... what exactly is there to see? The event is open to the public to watch a guy stand up and sit down? Uh, ok - count me out, I see that happen everyday. By the way, I'll give him $5. Where do I send it?
I hope he uses extreme caution for this most dangerous of stunts. He could encounter any number of pitfalls on his mission, from a splinter to a sore calf muscle. Godspeed, brave sitter!
