TSOYA in NYC!
Here are some photos of the first show from Anya at SketchArtists.net... if you click here, you can see even more!
Through the course of the evening, I gave careful consideration to things.
I really think Heather Lawless should be famous. I think her material is hilarious and her style is totally unique and brilliant. She's going to be in the new Michel Gondry film with Jack Black.
Mike Daisey told a totally engrossing and hilarious story about playing on snowmobiles in his childhood in Maine.
Until we had some technical difficulties, and so Mike and I covered by talking about how silly the word "monologuist" is, and also how to pronounce it (he says Monologue-ist, I say monolojist).
Luckily, Jeff Solomon was on the boards, and he rescued the show from disaster (technical disaster - not artistic disaster - artistic disaster was assured by my presence).
Then David Wain came on stage and was immediately hilarious, which really took the pressure off of me.
Although he couldn't believe I asked that.
Then Donwill and Von Pea of Tanya Morgan rocked the house, or at least shook it a bit and made some jokes in between verses to take the pressure off the whites who'd never seen a rapper before.

This looks like a lot of fun- looking forward to listening to the podcast. I believe the accepted pronunciation for monologuist is "talkie-guy." For the ladies, "speaky chick." But I come from the Porky Pig school of elocution.

It was an awesome time. Thanks for the book.
Looking forward to listening to the podcast. Looking spiffy, Jesse.
I like the desk and "late show" setup. Is nice. Looks like it was a great time, and I would have been there if it wasn't so very far from Texas (and if I wasn't planning another visit to NYC for early next year already.)
Looking forward to listening to it, and I'll try to catch the next one.
