2) The SF Sketchfest/San Francisco Comedy Festival tickets are now on sale and some shows are already selling out. Damn you people with money!!!

3) The rumors are true: There will be an Eddie Pepitone documentary. That’s a start in making up for him being cut from the Muppets.

4) Downtown event space Towne Hall is still looking for some holiday generosity on Indie Gogo.

5) Yeah, Don’t torrent Louis CK’s Live at the Beacon Theater. In fact, don’t torrent anything. Go to the fucking record store and buy records (mostly so we have someone to talk to at the comedy section).

9) It is amazing how high the number of Los Angelenos is that you have to explain that there was an actual shooting with a gun in Hollywood as opposed to a film shoot. It’s either that or we’ve all become that jaded with an ever-present deathwish.
