...on the mobile front

What's up, folks? As of yet no one has offered to make my aforementioned movie, so I guess I'll go back to posting the usual nonsense. Right now I'm updating ye olde blog from my iPhone w/ a wireless bluetooth keyboard. I know, FANCY! It's not exactly a netbook or an iPad, but it'll do for now.

So the CSL Three-Year Anniversary show was super-sick. FIVE-HOUR marathon show! Sean hosted the first half, I hosted the second... the back lounge was packed almost the entire time, plus there were nearly 100 comics just hanging out, helping us celebrate. Here's a list of the performers: Jim Gaffigan, Todd Barry, John Mulaney, Myq Kaplan, Ted Alexandro, Seth Herzog, Yannis Pappas, Matt McCarthy, Ophira Eisenberg, Sam Morril, Morgan Murphy, Rojo Perez, Phil Hanley, Sean O'Connor, MURDERFIST, plus a couple more... it was completely ridiculous! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the show! Great times... even if TimeOut NY has it in for us, we're still going strong!

My Dad has recently gotten online, which is awesome. We Skyped and drank a beer together this past Sunday, which was sooo much fun. Here's a little belated Father's Day shoutout:
Sonny Calloway is by far and away one of the greatest people I've ever met--he will do anything for anybody, and is the original Altered Beast. Splittin' V's before xmas dinner? Check. Teaching me to smoke on the go by pretending to wash a vehicle at the carwash? Check. Hell, even BEFORE all that goodness, I recall having inquired about Mary Jane when I was 14 or 15, because the smell of this allegedly dangerous drug my friends were starting to enjoy brought me back to being a toddler wondering what exactly was so pungent in my Dad's Tupperware container. His reply: "Well, son, that's marijuana. Now I'm not saying YOU should smoke it, but people do. And just a little bit is all right-- so long as it doesn't affect the way you do your job or treat your family n' friends, then just a little bit here or there is ok. Like eatin' a Valium every once in a while or a havin' a few beers after work--ain't no big deal. However, there are life-ruinin' drugs. Don't ever do nuthin' with needles--lost some good friends to that stuff, you should steer clear. Now, you'll probably run into cocaine, too--that stuff is bad for you. Of course in the 80's everybody was doing it, lots of it around. But it's a bad idea, it'll mess up you sinuses, it's too easy to get hooked on and it's damned expensive... but a little bit of grass, it ain't too bad, but it's all about yer responsibilities."
Notably, he didn't say anything about prescription speed or psychedelics, two of my favorite Altered Beast inspirations. Hmmm... Either way, I've always appreciated his early call for moderation. Dad, I love you!
