Notes from New York (8)
Last night Lisa and I saw Janeane Garofalo and Zach Galifianakis perform at The Town Hall on 43rd Street. Both were very funny. Garofalo brought out notes which she would use to remind her about what to speak next. She railed against everything: food, the US government, kids’ trendoid names, technology, drinking, and had the crowd laughing for almost two hours. Tonight I’m seeing Bill Maher at the 92nd Street Y. Check out Maher’s new book, When You Ride Alone, You Ride With bin Laden.
The weather has warmed up considerably, and I’m enjoying it, knowing these are the final three days I’ll experience such weather until next April at the earliest.
This trip seems to be going on for a long time, doesn’t it? I’ll be home soon.

I love Janeane. I should have given you a pair of gonch to throw on stage on my behalf.

She rocked, Jen, and the opening act, Zach Galifianakis, was also quite good – Randy

No wonder people think she’s lost it…She has! I caught her on Scarborough and she continues to rail against not only President Bush and the war on terror, but now has including her stereotyping of conservatives!!
Did anyone notice her her call for non-tolerance of conservatives? So not only was she making disparaging comments about 70% of the country, she’s also calling for that which she supposedly despises…intolerance.
She truly is a loon, but I think she does a great job of representing the far left wing of the Dumocratic Party! No wonder ABC cancelled her sitcom.
