Standup

I spent part of my Saturday painting the trim in the front hallway (finally finishing an 11-month-old project) and listening to Mitch All Together in memory of Mitch Hedberg, who died last week. Boo, death, boo. (The Big Ticket and Music for Robots each have some Mitch mp3s. I especially like "Three Easy Payments".)

Unrelated, except that it's standup, I've been enjoying Patton Oswalt lately, in form of Feelin' Kinda Patton and his Comedy Central special, and discovered (via Warren Ellis, of all people) that the hour or so of Feelin' Kinda Patton was drawn from a 2-and-a-half hour set at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA. And that that complete set is available on 2 CDs, called 222. It's certainly not for everyone, it's rougher than the selected material, but I liked some of the stuff on 222 better than Feelin' Kinda Patton and I loved the flow of the whole concert.
