1) The Rooftop College Comedy Competition on Mar. 22nd pits students from LMU and Chapman University to see who is the funniest. How is this not an open mic that you’d have to pay to see?
2) Sell-Outs: Just a heads up on some great shows that are SOLD OUT, though you might just show up and see if there are any tickets at the door because people in LA tend to be quite flaky.

7) Recently: Radiohead’s new album came out to uproarious…. outrage especially via Twitter. Anyone think they will get to the point where fans will want to chase them with pitchforks like Patton Oswalt wants to kill George Lucas with a shovel?
8) A kid an open mic asked me where we can make money doing comedy in LA and I literally told him, a la Chinatown because it was raining and there were neon signs all around, “It’s LA. Forget about it.” Welcome to Jadedville. (also, I find it hilarious that I’m Jake and I’m the one saying it.)
