This event is sanctioned ONLY by THE MIKE SHOW. It is NOT sanctioned by THE BEST SHOW ON WFMU. Attend at your own risk. Although nothing will happen to you.

OR WILL IT?

Tom.

I can attest to the joy of having a slice of pizza with Mike pre-show. NOTHING HORRIBLE WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.

We are so there. The only thing that would make this better is if it were at Chuck E. Cheese.

I moved some stuff around so I think I'm going to make it. The only thing better would be to go eat pizza beforehand and be all logy for the show.

I hope I can make it to this. I assume they have disco fries, too.

THEN WHY ARE YOU WRITING IN ALL CAPS?

Traffic willing, The FOTalo Express (today's name for my rental car) will be there.

What's the parking situation like in and around Jersey City? I'll be driving in and I'd like to find someplace to park that's not going to cost me a ton of money.

I would also be interested to know the parking situation in JC, although I'll probably wind up taking subway/PATH there and back anyway. Thoughts?

I ate pizza with Mike before Marathon 2009, Week 1. He showed me his New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest entry.

It means he showed me his entry for the New Yorker Cartoon Caption contest. If memory serves, it was, "Daddy's home!"

Take it easy. It was a picture of a guy crashing his car through the wall of his house.

Is there any chance that Tom will be at the pre-show pizza party. My under-agers would like to say Hi, but have school the next day very early in the morning, so can't stay post-Best show at the Iron Monkey.

I can't make any promises, but occasionally Tom stops in to beg for my crusts.

It was a picture of a guy crashing his car into a bedroom, where there were two presumably naked people in bed.

I've never had any trouble finding street parking over by the Iron Monkey/FMU - especially at night (when it's free). You can probably find a spot on Montgomery or York - no need to pay for lot or anything.

Thanks for the tip. Still debating the wisdom of driving vs. public transpo. But if I do drive, I'll let everyone know, in case anybody needs a lift from downtown brooklyn/dumbo.

I want to thank everyone who came out tonight. It was great to meet all of you. As I've told Tom many times, The Best Show on WFMU has the best audience ever. Thanks for supporting the show and the station and for making the last 4 1/2 years so memorable for me.

I am sad that traffic and bad directions stopped us from enjoying the Black Mass, but glad that the FOTalo Express arrived in time to meet you and LJP. Thanks!

Dare I say the Eat Pizza with Mike event had the feel of a pancake breakfast?

It was a brilliant way to start the night off. Yummy pizza too!
