Hey buds!
How is your costume planning coming along? I know that I am very stressed out! I am trying to decide between Bro-bot 3000, Zombie Borat, and Sexy Richard Heene. What do you think? Right now I am leaning heavily towards doing none of them and just putting a plastic bag over my face. We’ll see! Maybe I’ll dress as the year 2012 to remind everyone we have exactly 38 months left on this planet. Anyway, two huge things this week:
1. On Wednesday night Gabe Liedman, Jenny Slate and I have an especially spectacular Big Terrific for you all. It’s almost too famous? We’ve got some special Halloween shenanigans planned (poisoned candy, knives, etc) as well as comedy appearances from Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation, Funny People), Natasha Leggero (Tonight Show), Joe Mande (Best Week Ever), John Mulaney (Conan O’Brien, writer for Saturday Night Live), Andrea Rosen (Stella, Flight of the Conchords) and Reggie Watts (Late Night with Jimmy Fallon). Are you kidding me? That is so crazy fun. Be there at 8pm at Cameo Gallery, located at 93 North 6th Street between Berry & Wythe in Williamsburg. It’s free. The after-party will be something special too.
2. What is funnier or more rocking than a museum? Literally nothing. I am very proud to be emceeing It Came From Brooklyn at the Guggenheim on Friday night, part of a series of events that celebrate the museum’s 50th anniversary by “showcasing Brooklyn’s emerging and established talents in the fields of music and literature.” Because I am so good at music AND literature. It’s more or less what I’m known for. But it’s going to be really awesome, and features big long concert-length sets from Yeasayer and Tanlines. Right? What a party. Come hang out and have so much fun. It’s also a good opportunity to find out what happens to laughs when a comedian tells jokes in a room with a 500 foot tall ceiling. Buy tickets here!
Meanwhile you can still find me writing about going out every week over at the Onion’s A.V. Club New York and talking entirely too much about Top Chef for Eater.com.
