WHILE I WAIT for the Evans-as-Zaius-as-Twain videos to ROLL in,  HERE IS ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE OF MAURICE EVANS warning Mia Farrow not to move into the Dakota with John Cassavetes.  WHAT YOU DON’T SEE is that Maurice Evans bludgeoned Charles Grodin with THAT VERY LEG OF LAMB back when it was frozen, earlier in the afternoon.  That is all.

HERE IS MY FRIEND and constant inspiration, and sometimes CRIME FIGHTING PARTNER, MS. SARAH VOWELL making her Daily Show debut.  ALSO, LISTEN CAREFULLY for the cameo appearance by @EliottKalan, the nerd, as the voice of Charlie Brown.  I HAVE ALERTED THE ESTATE of Charles M Schulz to his performance, and together we will SUE HIM OUT OF NERDY EXISTENCE.  That is all.

AMAZING TIME LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY
I first met MARTIN KRZYWY at the Regulator in Durham in the 2007. I next met him on November 9, 2011. CAN YOU SPOT THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE PHOTOS (One thing that is the same: Martin still spells his name KRZYWY. And I am immortal in both photos. DO YOU HEAR ME? IMMORTAL!) Asheville tickets for 11/11/11 are HERE.  That is all.
