On June 5, I'll be doing a presentation at the monthly NYC comedy show Adult Education, pontificating on the theme of "cliches" and trying hard to find a point to the extremely pointless feature, Super-Fun-Pak Comix.
Other performers are Timothy Burke, Annia Ciezadlo, Ken Wheaton and host Charles Star.
My pledge to you: If you attend, YOU WILL HAVE SUPER FUN.
So: Information is here.
June 5, 7pm
Adult Education
at the Bookstore Cafe
126 Crosby St., NYC
It don't cost nothing

From the incomparable John Hodgman's endorsement of the INNER HIVE:
"For the first time in culture, we may all become patrons of the arts that we love, at a comparatively low cost to us, and at a comparatively INCREDIBLY HIGH BOON to the creator.
This new relationship is worth celebrating, and not apologizing for. It not only helps you get the thing you like into your own hands, it helps the thing you like to CONTINUE, and it ensures that your taste is reflected and relevant in the culture at large.
SO DIG DEEP, FANS OF GOOD THINGS, especially those you can pay for directly. You have nothing to lose but mediocrity."
Thank you, John.
UPDATE: The amazing Neil Gaiman too!
"I used to spend 20 dollars a year on TOM THE DANCING BUG collections… Happy to support him and pass the word…"
Wow. Thank you, Neil. Everyone else: JOIN THE FUN!
Great fun doing this week's Gweek Podcast with regulars Mark, Maggie, and Dean, and guest Mitch O'Connell, an amazing illustrator/artist.
One of the highlights/lowlights for me: while enthusing about my twitter-enemy Paul F. Tompkins's "Laboring Under Delusions" and my twitter-friend Patton Oswalt's "Finest Hour," I unexpectedly found myself illustrating a point by describing part of an Oswalt bit. It wasn't until the taping was over that I realized I had basically TOLD one of his jokes, very,very badly -- a COMEDY SIN IF EVER THERE WAS ONE.
