Hello Mind-Colleagues!
First of all, happy birthday! I wrote that assuming it is one of your birthdays and that at least one person (up to five) will appreciate that I pretended to know their birthday. You are very welcome, random person(s). I hope today you get pregnant or a promotion or have a nice meal with friends.
Now onto my career as a comedian…

Marc Maron’s Itchy Soul
July 6, 2010 by poprockcandy · Leave a Comment
Hey WTFers, WTFbuddies, WTFaneers, WTFniks, people who have been on board since before WTF, all of you –
I am still off the nicotine and I am trying not to eat my way into insanity. My soul is itchy and I want to bang it against a wall, but for now I will listen to Kings of Leon and lock myself in my garage and send out the schwag I owe some of you folks.
Here’s a twist. I was in San Francisco and I got in touch with Daniel Handler. He is the author of the Lemony Snicket books. I wasn’t really familiar with the books, but I had done an event with him and found him to be very funny. Cut to: I’m flying to SF reading Lemony Snicket on the plane. An adult. I enjoyed it. I don’t know if I’m going to read the rest but I don’t get the feeling they are really for me. Maybe I will. I don’t know. I feel the same way about Harry Potter. I’m a fucking adult.
Enjoy my chat with Daniel.
Nick Swardson is true freak and pure clown. The dude is funny. Even when I didn’t want to think so I thought so. You know him from Reno 911 and his film work. He’s hard not to like and he has some great stories. One about Bernie Brillstein that I love.
Also, check to the left of this email to see if I am coming to a venue near you. Heads up NYC! There will be two live WTF tapings at Comix on Wednesday July 21st. 7:30 and 9:30. Jeff Garlin, Judah Freidlander, Gary Gulman, Robert Kelly, Jim David, Joe Mande, Louis Katz, Reverend Jen, Matt McCarty and maybe some special guests!
So there,
Maron
Daniel Handler Episode 87
Nick Swordson Episode 88
