2) The Reggie Watts Show Pilot. Hopefully, it’ll stay up this time.

3) We’re leaving Portland today, but we had a great time here.  Catching No Pun Intendo at Ground Kontrol, a comedy show at a video arcade, and the Suki’s open mic only scratched Portland’s lively and growing comedy scene.  If anyone reading gets a chance to go (even if it’s not time for the Bridgetown Comedy Festival), please comedy in Portland.  Now, we’re back on our way to LA where we’re spoiled comedy wise.

4) The Everything is Festival at Cinefamily is streaming live in case you’re broke, a cheap skate, or can’t your budget approved.

5) Watch full episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 because it’s not on DVD yet [via 247comedy.com]
