7) Just another day at the Comedy Bureau: Drove to Hollywood to find open mic at laundry mic was cancelled (again), drove to downtown via sidestreets, walked around for three hours looking for a coffeeshop for wi-fi, cleared for radiation by a homeless person, wrote article and read 700 or tweets at Starbucks, walked to Downtown Independent Theater for the awesome Channel 101 screening (The Parent Project and Sex Teenagers were pretty damn funny), literally ran out to my car amidst rain while being cleared for more radiation by more homeless people, drove to UCB to watch/have my mind implode on itself from laughter at the Walsh Brothers Show that started at midnight, hit traffic at 2:30 in the morning, got home, checked twitter again, and eventually just had sleep deprivation knock me out. Yeah, it’s just another day at the Bureau.
