Goddamn! It's like a comedy woodstock. and of course, same weekend as the Record Fair up here ... maybe I'll try and figure out how to see some of this 'cause I can go down and stay with the parents ...
You gonna get that weekend pass, erika?

I have some family-related things to do that Saturday, so probably not. But I'll go to at least one of the shows. The cruise -- although I'm entirely prone to sea-sickness -- looks like a fun thing. I'm a big Morgan Murphy fan. I'd like to see Patton again too. I'll see how it works out money/time-wise.
And everyone remember a portion of the proceeds from this goes to Walter Reed! Woot.

Oops! I was so excited I started another thread. This one is clearly better.
I'm hoping to volunteer for this thing. Either way I'll be at as much as I can.
-
Any FOT's going to this? I'll be at the Friday show with Morgan Murphy and Tig Notaro. Might go to the one after that too. I have to see.
-
I'm definitely going to the Thursday night opening, not sure about after that yet.

If there is a way to convince my wife that it would be a good idea to ditch her mother in Virginia (the reason for us going down there), I will. Or maybe we will be there with my mother-in-law. She will hug Reggie Watts.
