We've known for some time that the Blerds family was expecting a new little addition, but last night around midnight it became official: Channel 101's Kyle Kinane is the newest member of the comedy site, which now puts the staff of Blerds on both coasts, with executive offices in Chicago. Blerds mouthpiece Mike Bridenstine conducted an interview with Kyle for his irregular series, Talkin' Comedy, and says, "Blerds is proud to announce that L.A. comedian Kyle Kinane has joined the site. Kyle began performing in Chicago, where he became one of the city's premier alternative comedians before moving to L.A. He recently appeared in the BBC's The World Stands Up and The Vancouver Comedy Festival. Kyle's credits are all international in scope because he quit performing in America after Genny Cream Ale was discontinued. We look forward to reading his unique material on Blerds."

Kyle also updated us here at the Bastion recently: "Thursday 11.9: I bombed in front of a packed house at the Hollywood Improv with jokes about werewolves and loneliness. The beautiful people in attendance apparently fear neither of those things.

"I am just about done shooting a film (cinema, if you will). Don't know how much i can say about it, but it involves a 'massacre', 'cheerleaders', and is the second installment of 'Cheerleader Massacre.' And Eric Acosta's in it too which makes it great.

"I'm totally getting new BMX tires and a safety orange nighttime jacket.

"After three and a half years, I've purchased a bedframe.

"My new apartment does not have ants...until i start eating in bed again."
