Another shout-out on Nerd Poker
OK, OK, OK, I’m late regarding my shout out via Blaine which happened during the May 13 episode, #126 “Dick Spiders-Save,” the donors portion kicked in closer to the end this time. It was pretty funny with what he said … Continue reading
Nick Offerman
I feel a little guilty about going to this book signing because I have never seen Parks & Recreation…before you flood me with the deluge of “Oh god! How could you have missed…” blah, blah, blah. Hey, I do like the … Continue reading
Lego Office Space

Something tied to 1990
June is often a tough month for me. I’m always late with graduation stuff which really takes place in May with the bulk of the US (d’oh!). I thought about weighing in my last Summer as a college student but … Continue reading
RIP: Anne Meara
Another legend, who helped pave the way for other funny women, passed away this weekend. Anne was more than just the mother of Ben Stiller and Jerry Stiller’s comedy partner, she was a great actress in her own right. The … Continue reading
Farewell David Letterman
It was an amazing run for David Letterman. He outlasted his predecessor and hero Johnny Carson by four years. What’s more impressive is that David received a second chance which was ridiculed by SNL, pundits and fans of Tom Snyder, aka … Continue reading
Harry Shearer leaving The Simpsons would be a good ending
The primary story/explanation of Harry leaving so he can pursue other projects is absolute crap in my opinion. Hank Azaria and Julie Kavner still act in movies, TV and plays while Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartright continue to provide voices in … Continue reading
Andy Kindler & Eddie Pepitone
These two comedy staples I ran into by accident at the after party. Andy I recognized instantly but I knew immediately when I saw the NY Rangers cap he was talking to Eddie. I’m confident most of you friends are … Continue reading

Blaine Capatch
My after-party photo with fellow DM and hilarious joke-writer/teller Blaine! I’m not sure if I grammatically structured that last sentence, we’re only fellow DMs, I don’t write jokes, I only live them. It was great to run into him. I … Continue reading

Dana Gould 2015
My belated finale to my biggest attendance at Austin’s Moontower Comedy Fest, a favorite comedian of mine who I’ve followed since the early Nineties. This year he was given the Stateside Theater to host his own show, or as Dana … Continue reading
Patton Oswalt
I knew this show was going to render my badge useless so I bought separate tickets to attend plus it was an early birthday present for my friend Jeremy. Patton blew the roof off! There were a couple openers, excellent. … Continue reading
Han drank first!
Han Burgandy that’s who! An awesome mashup of everyone’s favorite Seventies intergalactic smuggler scoundrel who moonlights as San Diego’s most trusted anchorman! Along with his navigator Baxter! I love that the artist managed to get this to imitate the beloved Drew Struzan … Continue reading
Dr. Katz 20th Anniversary Show!
Austin’s fourth annual Moontower Comedy Festival began last Wednesday but I didn’t jump in until Thursday evening to see this little reunion show. Dr. Katz was another vehicle for stand-up comedians to do their routines on Comedy Central albeit as therapy … Continue reading
