New York Part II

I only have a few minutes to check in because we are leaving for Boston shortly. Last night we did our second show in New York at the beautifully named Nokia Theater. Paul Rudd again acted as David’s understudy which was extremely helpful because David had to pee in the middle of the show, so Paul came out and acted David’s part. Honestly, he makes a much better David than David. “Better” might not be the right word. He makes a more palatable David than David. Boy, people go nuts for Paul Rudd. All he has to do is walk out on stage and people start shrieking, panties become soiled, ladies start fainting. It kind of pissed me off. I mean, what are me and Showalter? Chopped liver? Just because somebody is a movie star and better-looking and more talented shouldn’t make that person more desirable than, say, me. One minute the audience was cheering and laughing for the Stella guys, the next minute they’ve completely turned on us for an actor who, I might add, is a full inch shorter than me!

Tonight we do our DVD recording in Boston, which should be great. Hopefully Paul won’t show up. Or, if he does, hopefully David won’t have to go pee in the middle of the show the way he did both nights in New York – at the same exact place in the show, which was weird. Tomorrow we go to the West Coast for a couple shows, and then home for the holidays, except for going to Vancouver, which is kind of like home, if your home is in Asia.

What a really great show in LA!! It was so much fun, thanks !!!!

[Jaime]

C'mon Zane -- gimme more! Just HOW awesome were they? Like on a scale of 1 to 10, how many shards did they break the scale into when they busted it with the heft of their awsomeness?? Like, at what point in the show did the pinstripes on their suit entrance you? Like what measure of cubic volume did you scientifically cry tears of funny?

These are things I need to know.

[Camille]

I very much look forward to the DVD as I do not have dsl or cable(cue "Dueling Banjos").

[Jenny]

The show in Berkeley was so amazing! Thanks for coming out again! And thanks for signing my book. I will treasure it always. As will I treasure the pic I have on my phone of you stretched out laying on the floor all pose/sex panther like.

See you at Sketchfest next month!

Jaime,
Stella in LA was really fun. Thomas Lennon opened, and was very funny. I was in the front row and he does a bit of a strange "locking eyes on you a little too long" thing that is slightly off-putting but not altogether creepy. Everything he said was so funny and the only bummer was the big lag between him being onstage and Stella finally coming out. I saw Kerri Kenney downstairs before the show, looking so pretty, standing out in white in the sea of hipster kids in skinny black jeans, facial hair and with dopey lightweight scarves loosely draped around their necks.
Stella was so funny, everyone in the crowd seemed to really enjoy the show. The guys were very polished and it couldn't have been better. Joe Lo Truglio did a bit as dead Joey Adams, a Borscht Belt comedian that I assume none of the audience has any idea of (except maybe the parents who accompanied the younger girls and I still don't get the concept of bringing a parent to a show, but then again, I can't figure out why a 14 yr old girl wants to see 37 yr old comedians instead of cute young band boys either, so to each his own).
Immediately after the show, the yellow windbreaker-wearing security guards seemed determined to sweep everyone out as quickly as possible. Their presence was really overwhelming and put a damper on the happy buzz that was coming from the audience exiting their seats. Luckily, no one bothered me and I was able to say a quick hi/thanks/bye to the guys before they starting signing anything and I was home in bed, probably long before they were able to get out of there.

(The truth is, I waited outside for an hour in the rain, had them each autograph my full back 6-color tattoo of their faces that I just had inked special for the show, and talked them into partying in my VW Westfalia Camper till dawn. Sweet!)

Jenny should post that picture.

Jenny: you should post that picture.

Think of it as giving us a hot cocoa break. For the eyes.

[Reen]

Screw Jennys pictures - I want ZANES pictures! STAT!

[Jaime]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thank you Zane. I needed that. I like your description: "sea of hipster kids in skinny black jeans, facial hair and with dopey lightweight scarves loosely draped around their necks." No offense to the hipster kids, but it's funny.

I work on a college campus. I see weird things. Like, a lot of neon sun glasses from the 90's. Something I'd see at Splashtown circa 1993. It's funny. Then again, I used to wear ripped panty hose with combat boots. No judgment.

Yeah -- make with the pictures folks!

[Zane]

Sorry, I didn't get pics, but I did make a video of us "doin' it"!

Surprisingly, Michael was a much better lover than Michael.
David Wain just watched and ate his sandwich.

[Jenny]

Friends: due to the fact that I have a lamentably INEPT AND AWFUL phone service carrier, it will be awhile before I am able to bluetooth the one semi-decent shot to the interwebs. My apologies. I will do better next month when I get a camera. >:0

[Reen]

Zane - Funny! That is one nutty humpfest.

Jenny@867-5309eeiinne - you are forgiven, for now.

Michael - you should blog (and distract) before our misbehavior escalates to "downright startling".

[Camille]

Startle away... don't walk away,Renee. I gots nothing better to do as I'm iced in. Literally.

[Zane]

Not to keep posting on here, but Hi Camille!! Haven't seen you on here in ages. Missed you and all your funny comments. Hope you are well and welcome back.

[Reen]

Now *we're* having a humpfest!

A regular girliegirl sleep over!

Let's "pony tail up" and strip down to our demure white cotton bras and panties and jump up and down on the beds and hit (ok, tee hee, more like "boop!") each other with our feather pillows!

My GOODNESS this will be fun!

"I can't figure out why a 14 yr old girl wants to see 37 yr old comedians instead of cute young band boys either, so to each his own."

I hope you were not referring to me. I'm 17! Stella was incredible Saturday! I sat in the front row too, yeah Tom's staring was kinda odd. After the show, the guys signed the Stella shorts dvds. But for some reason, people were not allowed to take pictures with them. They looked extremely exhausted, or sad. I asked Michael to sign my book and he seemed a little surprised to see it. "Cat with a K?" Ahh, the most amazing words I've heard in my life. He used one of his generic "I love you." inscriptions, oh well. I know you mean it Michael.

I didn't take any pictures but I did get some videos and got a few frames from them. The quality is terrible. My camera sucks.

Yay! Camille! I missed you too -- I just asked Renee about you the other day. Yay!! Camille!!

We _are_ having a humpfest, wow, more than any squirrel could handle! Uh oh, nobody fall asleep! All these swirly tickly feathers are snurfing my nose (that's the word for nose-tickling I just made up).

*POOF* Gotcha with my pillow cKat! Because I LOVE you, AND your grainy awesome pictures. *POOF-smooch* I didn't just kiss you, what??!

[Tee]

So, let me get this straight; in lieu of a new blog, us girls are just bedding down in this one and sharing hairbands/cleanser/dirty dreams, right?

[Jenny]

Sleepover in Michael's blog? That sounds sexy.

Nice, pics Cat.

[Reen]

AAAANNNDDD we're making prank phone calls! To real live BOYS!

Tee? You always have such interesting dreams. Must be the British water. Have you had any interesting dreams as of late?

One sec while I get Jaimes pillow so I can get comfy and listen to Tees dream. Also, I will be FARTING on Jaimes pillow and blaming it square on Camille.
::snicker snicker snickerdoodle::

[Reen]

Cat your pics are very good so stop bloodying yourself up with Peter Gabrielles sledgehammer.

Michael, sad? Nah, he's just quiet.

Quiet is nice.

[Camille]

Thanks for the welcome back. We moved recently so I've been in the midst of unpacking. You don't have to cover for me,Renee. That fart was pure Camille.
