What's up homies. It's a rather lax week here at the Bastion, so for today's entry we're going to throw up an amalgamation of tidbits we've had laying about the office. Enjoy! Only one more day until Friday, folks.

Don't forget that tonight Fizz is hosting the Star + Garter Burlesque + Comedy Revue, which is being billed as a Best Of series this month -- 9 p.m., 10 bones. Producer Jeremy Smith had a couple words about the teething show: "The show has been on fire with great audiences and fantastic performances. In fact, we've had calls from multiple venues trying to steal us away from Fizz, but there's something about the room that just works for the stand ups and the burlesque performers that would be difficult to re-create elsewhere." We are hoping to get all our chores done tonight so we can pop on down Lincoln Ave. to partake in luscious laughter.

Also tonight, Listen, Kid, and Narna are over at i.O., yo.

Mike Bridenstine has been interviewing young filmmakers and waxing philosophic on the closing of Gunther Murphy's in his MySpace blog (not to mention South Park-izing several fellow comedian friends).

David Angelo has released to the Bastion offices an advance copy of his newsletter "Jokeaholics Hilarious", with the caveat that there are some "known typos". Who cares, this sh!t is funny! Sign up for your very own paper copy delivered right to your doorstep (clever way of collecting personal data?), by sending full name and address to yo@davidangelo.info -- he will then ask you for $5 to offset costs of hilarity. It's totally worth it. Trust us.

Those crazy cats at Don't Spit the Water are having a two-year anniversary show this Saturday. They told us the show "will feature comics from our past, comics from our present, and comics from our future. We'll have more comics than you can shake a stick at. After the show, we'll be hosting a FREE party! The party will feature a live performance by The Hump Night Thumpers, the band that wrote our theme song." Listen to that very same song here!

We got word from Mr. Dave Odd that he's taking over every Friday of the month at Kitty Moon starting in December. The first Friday will still be the New Faces Showcase (featuring new comics in a full showcase setting), the last Friday will be a comedy contest complete with a cash prize, and the other two Fridays of the month will be theme nights. He also tells us there are plans to convert Pressure Cafe into Pressure Comedy Cafe, a place to see comedy almost every night of the week. We're excited to see the developments of that!

And finally, a couple videos that have been CRACKING us up. The first, from our friend Landon Kirksey out there in NYC:

And one from our friends Matt Braunger, Kyle Kinane, and Renee Gauthier in L.A.:

Cheers! Have a good Thursday!
