As promised...

They were on my laptop the whole time!

In honor of folks and their achievements, both major and not so

I've recently revamped and dusted off this here blog. In doing so however I've discovered that way back when I started this particular incarnation of my online rants, I short changed a friend of mine, ignoring his request to post a certain set of pictures. This friend is Sir Eric Pope, and the set of pictures (or a single picture rather) is that of yours truly riding Calvin Swaim as if he were Falcor the Luckdragon. Now, while I don't have this exact one he was refering to on hand (I'll need to find it later tonight at home), I did stumble across these gems. They're from a party back in aught three where Calvin , Pope and I were so bored and drunk. I show them now as consolation regarding the slight slight dating back over a year and a half but also in celebration of said friend's appearance on Jimmy Fallon. (What?? I know! I'd like to know more too; this was all heresay, California Raisins style.)

So shown here are first the photo's inspirations, then their interpretations, crafted by the celebrated Eric Pope.

It should also be noted that said party was the same one wherein yours truly broke a window, to the delight of all...well, some.... Note also that my fat kid impersonation was spot on.


UPDATE: Just found the video of Pope rock banding with Jason Sudeikis:



Congrats Pope!

Bastards Bonanza

It's Beer Thursday day in my office. And since I'm going right to IB after this, I thought I'd indulge for once. I still can't chum around in the kitchenette with the rest of these bloaks though. It just doesn't work. Especially after they consistantly call a girl on tv who's just been reported murdered as hot.

So that may in fact make me an alcoholic, as I'm sitting here alone at my desk drinking a bud light.

Let's leave that for now. Presently I find myself in Bastards limbo. Last night at the Asylum was one of the funnest shows I've done in a long time, and tonight promises to be no different. And both for completely different reasons. We had all six Bastards founders on stage last night, a combo which is as rewarding as it is rare. Hopefully that will change in the near future...the rare part. But tonight is shaping up to be almost just as tops, if anything simply for the fact that we'll be in an entirely new place. And one that we'll be in every week. After about a month of not performing, this week has sort of been a reminder why I'm doing dumb shit like this. It always seems absurd when you try to explain it to somebody, and they almost always instantly judge you and take the higher ground. Maybe it's my delivery. But I'd like to think that they just don't get it.

It's a B-tarded Wednesday

So if you're reading this, you've probably already read Erin's blog and thus probably already know that there's a Bastards Inc. show tonight at Improv Asylum. So...you'd better be going.

But there's there's a Bastards Inc. show tonight at Improv Asylum. A full hour and a half of Bastards creamy comedy sprinkled with stand-up and who knows what else jimmies. Plus the Bastards family is fully reunited!!

BASTARDS: ALL IN
