Buscemi's DVD Release Party
Robert Buscemi's DVD release party last night at the Annoyance was good fun. We talked to him last year shortly after the filming of the DVD, which was shot by filmmakers Landon Kirksey and Jordan Vogt-Roberts at the Subterranean, and we have been eagerly awaiting the project ever since. Produced with a DIY-spirit that seems to be taking over more and more Chicago comedians, the Buscemi DVD is more proof that if you want to showcase your skills, you don't have to sit around and wait to get your own HBO special.
The Annoyance soiree included film clips and performances by an unexpectedly mayo-loving Buscemi, plus Jared Logan, Kumail, Jenni Lamb, Mike Sheehan, and more. Andy Ross also took the stage in a reporter's trenchcoat, doing a faux-news bit that may or may not have been a tip of the fedora to the fact that he recently nabbed a gig writing for the Onion News Network.

I heard there is a 'special' version of the DVD selling for literally severals of dollars, on Ebay and available under the counter in Hamburg's more liberal pornography emporiums. This version has the previously 'fuzzed out' footage of Robert's genitalia replaced with the un-fuzzed out trouser-arouser version in all it's pendulous glory!
Where can I get?! (Apart from Ebay or Northern Germany)

"Hamburg's more liberal photography emporiums"?
Who is this Randy Young Turk, and when can I employ him to write for me? Honestly don't know who that is. Beautiful writing there.
Thanks all for the kind words and everyone who helped pack the famous Annoyance Sunday.
FREE if you want to come a 2nd time (just email me at rbuscemi@gmail.com), or email me if you haven't yet seen it yet and want half-price tickets, making it just $7.50.
Thanks again! One of the best nights of my life.
