Remain Champagne: THREAD-KILLER
Ever post a sarcastic or self-deprecating thought on Facebook and then another sarcastic person—totally getting the sarcasm—chimes in and offers their own sarcastic tag to the first sarcastic thing you said? And then maybe a third or even a fourth sarcastic person jumps on board and before…
“I don’t think he knew how aggressive Maron would be,” Gallagher’s manager Craig Marquardo said, adding that Gallagher is not at all sorry for walking out on the interview and that Gallagher “doesn’t care.” In fact, Marquardo relayed that after Gallagher left the interview he was seen being mobbed by fans on the street, where the comic took pictures with fans and signed autographs. “Where would you rather be?” Marquardo said.
Marc Maron reacts to Gallagher’s WTF storm-off, Gallagher’s rep responds
Hopefully he was able to bum a cup of coffee.

1) @RealGallagher is fake. And shut down. After walking out on Marc Maron during an interview on the Maron’s WTF Podcast, for a few hours, many people on Twitter in LA and around the country were fooled into thinking that an angered Gallagher traded smashing watermelons for espousing an extremely conservative point of view and extremely bigoted jokes. Via Punchline Magazine several hours later, it was revealed that Gallagher indeed did not start a Twitter account and had nothing to do with those tweets. Though there are various takes on the events that took place, I think it’s speak volumes about how Gallagher is perceived by how disappointed (the announcement that it was fake had to be retweeted over 100 times) everyone was when they found out it really wasn’t his Twitter.
2) Garfunkel and Oates “All Over Your Face” is out today on cdbaby and iTunes. I’ll say it again: Garfunkel and Oates “All Over Your Face” is out today on cdbaby and iTunes. and again: Garfunkel and Oates “All Over Your Face” is out today on cdbaby and iTunes. That’s 3 times, so maybe, just maybe you should go to cdbaby or iTunes and just go buy “All Over Your Face” by Garfunkel and Oates (was the 4th time overkill?)
3) Going into its 4th month, The Big Trouble in Little Tokyo Open Mic is almost 1/3 of a year old, which is good enough celebration for me, not to mention Matt Champagne, Jan Davidson, and cheap, great Mexican seafood.

Good times catching this taping at the Bell House.
1) Watch TELL YOUR FRIENDS! right now (even though i just posted) WATCH IT!!! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! (both the name of the movie and what you should do after you watch that trailer).
2) Eagleheart. BOOM. The Return of Chris Elliot/Rise of Chris Monsanto. BOOM Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. BOOM. Midnight. BOOM Watch it. BOOM. OR. YOU. WILL. BE. PUNCHED. (metaphorically) (boom)-my text only version of an Eagleheart Promo. Seriously, watch it.
3) Just in case you forgot about the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, they’re accepting submissions until 2/28. The Comedy Bureau will keep you updated all the way along as a significant portion of you will probably forget to submit before the deadline.
4) OK. The amazing laugh riot of a sketch group the Birds of Prey are having a free show at the Comedy Central Stages on March 2nd. Call (323) 960-5519 for reservations because they will be packed out and you will get to witness the genius that is Lizzy Cooperman, Susan Burke, and Emily Maya Mills directed by Joe Wagner.
5) Jamie Kilstein on Conan. Whether you missed it or actually watched it or saw it live…. you should probably watch it again at the link above.
