We Bring You...

New look, same drivel. I aim to please!

Truth be told, I got tired of the old look. I tinkered with this

template to get it to something decent. There were further alterations

I wanted to make, but due to the limitations of some of the background

images, they just weren't possible. "Alas", as one blogger would say.

One day I'll design my own site instead of being lazy and cribbing

from other people's work.

Who am I kidding. That will NEVER happen.

Since it's never too early to start promoting a good thing, allow me

to start today's post with a link to:

This will be good. This will be funny. This will be $20 for 54 hours

of comedy spread across multiple stages. If you were to stay for all

54 hours, that would be a mere 37 cents per hour of comedy. That would

also be insane. I prefer to schedule my DCM attendance around a few

shows I want to see, and then the rest is gravy. Some of the best

improvisors in the world will be at this festival. If laughter is the

best medicine, then consider the DCM all of your innoculations for the

year.

Next:

Have you bought Toby's book yet? If not, you're missing out!

Thirdly, I am ashamed to admit that somehow, prior to this post, I did

not have the inestimable AlCantHang linked up in my blogroll. I'm not

sure how that oversight has been allowed to linger this long, other

than the fact that my blogroll has been sorely neglected for a few

months. Al is spending this week writing up a trip report to the

Florida Keys. Good shit in there. Some real belly laughs. Not the "hee

hee" type for Mr. ACH. Here's a snippet:

"OK, you're on the couch in your own condo. cool, home in one

piece. You're fully dressed, also good..... money and wallet are on

the coffee table, good, that's means no one rolled me while I was

out.... what the hell happened??.... alright, let's try sitting up

for a second, see how that works.... ugh.... ok, lay back down for

a second.... there ya go..... now think idiot, what happened.....

Irish Kevins...Teasers.... ah crap... ugly lights..... this isn't

going to be pretty.... by the way, I think a cat shit in our

mouth.....get some water, if you don't mind.... great idea.....ah

jeez.... being vertical sucks..... why's everyone looking at me

funny?"

Finally, tip of the hat to Glyphic (whose link was broken in my

blogroll - geezus, what the hell?) for recently turning me onto

Overheard in New York. There's a lot of noise to swim through, but

there are some real New York nuggets to be found if you do.
