Marc Maron’s Itchy Soul

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
