Arden Myrin

My last Brush for Moontower 2018. Sorry it’s late but I was very, very tired Friday thanks to a very exhausting Thursday. It was awesome to finally get a picture with Arden! She is the other half of The Tinkle … Continue reading →

Tom Rhodes

Posted on May 17, 2018 by Steve

It’s actually my second time meeting Tom. The amazing part is that he remembered our meeting at the first Moontower Fest at Dana Gould’s showcase! Most of you will recognize him from the Nineties when his hair was longer too. … Continue reading →

Kurt Braunohler

Posted on May 16, 2018 by Steve

At last! A comedian who’s taller than me! Kurt is best known for a few things. He’s voice of Louise’s nemesis, high-schooler Logan on Bob’s Burgers, he was a tutor to the demons on Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, he … Continue reading →

Jesus Trejo

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Steve

For starters, no, Jesus isn’t related to Danny Trejo…I asked. He joked about meeting the well-loved heavy in Horror, Action and Comedy flicks; Danny asked him if he was an unknown grandkid. Meanwhile, Jesus is a hilarious up-and-coming comedian I … Continue reading →

All this week I will be covering my sweep of Brushes with the awesome comics I met at this year’s Moontower Festival, mainly at the after party which was held at some hotel on Congress with Netflix. First up, the incredibly … Continue reading →

Brian Posehn 3

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Steve

Got to see one of my favorite comedians, voice actors and D&D aficionados back in February (the digging out continues!). Hot off his 30 years of being a stand-up last Summer, Brian had a mix of great new jokes and … Continue reading →

RIP Barry Crimmins

Posted on March 1, 2018 by Steve

Just got the news a few hours ago. As soon as my car’s radio came right up to Patton Oswalt talking about Barry I knew this wasn’t going to be a happy story. I wish I were wrong. Barry passed … Continue reading →

Aisha Tyler

Posted on December 23, 2017 by Steve

Aisha was in town a few weeks ago to promote her directorial debut Axis. It was really good (separate review coming) and awesome to meet her, especially applauding a funny person blossoming into a Jane-of-all-Trades! She definitely liked the Lana shirt … Continue reading →

Rest in Peace Pat DiNizio

Posted on December 15, 2017 by Steve

I was really saddened to see the sudden blurb on my FaceBook feed this Tuesday night (December 12) about Pat’s passing. Even though I knew about his recent injury, I never would’ve guessed he was in ill health. When the … Continue reading →

Felicia Day

Posted on December 12, 2017 by Steve

Cool opportunity to meet “Dr. Kinga Forrester” from the new Mystery Science Theater 3000. Most of you all probably know Felicia from The Guild which is on Netflix (and I need to watch it) or that Dr. Horrible thing Joss Whedon did during the … Continue reading →

Roy Wood Jr.

Posted on December 9, 2017 by Steve

Last comedy show of the year and it’s with another great wit from The Daily Show. You probably know Roy as the current Senior Black Correspondent who’s had funny positions about the NFL and HBO’s possible Confederacy show. The club must’ve … Continue reading →

Michael Rooker

Posted on December 5, 2017 by Steve

Michael has been a frequent guest of Austin’s WizWorld but I decided to finally meet him because I seriously enjoyed his portrayal of Earle from The Walking Dead. At the beginning, he was a cartoon character, the redneck racist sowing discord … Continue reading →

Krysten Ritter

Posted on November 30, 2017 by Steve

Currently Krysten is best known as Jessica Jones on Netflix (a show I need to restart) but for me she was Jesse’s ill-fated girlfriend Jane on Breaking Bad plus I remember her in Big Eyes. Krysten was stopping through Austin to promote … Continue reading →

Michelle Wolf

Posted on November 6, 2017 by Steve

Last weekend I had the honor of briefly meeting while laughing constantly to The Daily Show‘s Michelle Wolf. Besides being a prolific writer, Michelle was incredibly funny, especially when she was covering gender politics and the weirdness of NYC; when Austin … Continue reading →
