Back to Tejas.



Well, I drove home today. On the way back Meg read while I listened to Patton Oswalt's album 222. It was sort of funny. Mostly he's just drunk, which really isn't all that funny. I take my comedy very, very, very seriously and he's so wasted that he botches a lot of what would otherwise be funny bits. It was an alright way to kill two hours, but he's no David Cross. I'm pretty out of the loop on contemporary standup, any suggestions about who else I think is funny? Bear in mind that I don't think Zach Galifianakis or Sarah Silverman are funny.

Ya'll Motherfuckers Said What?:
222 is just an extended version of Fellin' Kinda Patton. A lot of the jokes find their way onto Werewolves and Lollipops and are more refined and a lot funnier.

When Sam was visiting we went to see Eugene Mirman who I had never heard of. He definitely falls into the new breed of non sequitur comics but will lapse into these long narrative and almost classic stand-up bits with multiple punchlines.

You might also want to check out Will Franken. He used to live in my neighborhood here in SF and was pretty popular despite his sometimes crazy conservative political beliefs.
