6) Garfunkel & Oates have a new song! “My Apartment’s Very Clean Without You”. Great way to start off a nostalgic Sunday
7) Below is a clip of Louis CK doing a 3 minute set in 1987. He’s doing dolphin jokes. There’s hints of what he does now, but only hints. It’s now 2011 and some of his best material is about his two daughters. To anyone thinking wondering about development as an artist as a comedian, well, here’s a perfect example of how drastic it can be.

11) Last night I did 20 minutes that I would best describe as mostly nonsense riffing with a strong start and finish that I would most likely want to delete off of my phone’s voice recorder. Yet, a real person (not a comic) came up to me and thanked me for making him laugh. Despite what I thought, I didn’t correct him because, really, he’s right.
12) Special thanks to Jordan Brady for the shout out on Twitter this morning. Please follow him at @IAmComicMovie (oh yeah, did I mentioned he directed I Am Comic?)
