I’m ready for my close-up…

Sometimes you just can’t say no to free beer. Nor can you turn down a night of hanging out with L. Ro.–for realz, you guys–at the BAM Takeover. Check out her genius post on Art.Cult, which includes this recockulous picture of yours truly double-fisting Bud Light or something. I posted a comment, clarifying some of [...]

It’s really hard to add anything more to this…

To Do: Christian Rizzo and I-Fang Lin (TONIGHT)

In honor of the impending Presidential and Vice Presidential debates, I’m posting one of my favorite all-time political sketch comedy performances, created by none other than the folks at Mad TV. SNL, eat your heart out…

Let’s Get Political

Hey you guys, So, C.C.’s having a really hard time not getting political right now. You may have seen this post, and these posts, recently. Really wish we could get as excited about the upcoming fall line-up of NYC performance, but it’s so hard when the last performance we were dying to see was Tina [...]
