Rory Scovel and Kojo Mante made an appearance on NBC yesterday to plug the fest, and did an outstanding
job squeezing the state of DC comedy into a five-minute interview segment. I'd embed it here, but the kind people and NBC
didn't see fit to provide the code, so I'll just post the link really large with a picture of Bob Vila.
Hope you enjoyed that more than we did making it. It was about 15 degrees out thanks to wind chill factor while shooting those
scenes with Jermaine in Rockville. But, it was successful and there's something new out there from the TDC crew, as expansive
as it is becoming.
That whole 'death' thing was an elaborately concocted hoax. Nobody's really dead, as far as I know. Sorry to disappoint any
of you finger-crossers with particular enemies. But we're all alive and healthy and let's be thankful blah blah blah.
I talked about the TDC Facebook group last time, I'm just throwing in yet another mention of it. What else did I want to call
attention to? Oh, right. There's an awfully big proliferation of "wolf" bands nowadays. You've got Montreal ironic-moustache
men Wolf Parade, Japanese punkers Guitar Wolf, some band called AIDS Wolf, a noise group called Wolf Eyes...
Basically, all I wanted to say was that Los Lobos were doing it decades before that shit was popular. Talk to
you all soon.
I'll be helping out my friend
Matt Hemerlein's family band's variety show on the tail end, but definitely come out early. You don't want to
miss this. Site.

MONDAY 11TH ST. LOUNGE First and third mondays
of every month. It's intimate, friendly, and the servers upstairs are fine. Even an audience of 10 non-comics can
whip the place into a frenzy. Hosted by Lou Giglio, or Bart Voisin if he couldn't escape the calling. Oh Highland Dr,
right across from the Clarendon Grill.

DR. DREMO'S IS DEAD. LONG LIVE DR. DREMO'S.
THURSDAY College
Perk First and third Thursday of every month, this is probably the most fun you'll have at an open mic in the
area. Maybe because it's a college hangout with a liquor license. 9078 Baltimore Avenue, College Park, MD

"I'm
gonna hire a fat person to sit in the driver's seat whenever I'm not using the car. Maybe get a midget with ice in
his mouth to blow on the back of my neck while I'm driving." "If I ever won a source award, I would go
onstage and speak ebonics." "If you can be fat and do it, its not a sport." - Forest "Socrates"
