ASSSSSPEN Comedy Festival

So it's only 4 hours way, and I made it in 3.5,

because I am a badasssss(pen.)

My four days in Aspen, in a nutshell:

22 live shows

3 features

15 shorts

-Met T.R. Knight.= highlight. He is a fantastic actor and a surprisingly nice, normal guy.

-Met Damon Wayans, got to tell him thank you for making a beautiful film about stand-up comedy that was both inspiring and eye-opening.

-Spoke with Jeffrey Tambor long enough to find out that Showtime has indeed picked up Arrested Development. YAY!

-Met a lot of comics/actors/film-makers who are talented, funny, and insanely creative- doing what they love and putting it out into the universe, knowing it will pay off, providing hope for us all.

Some of my favorites: Barron Vaughn, Aziz Ansari, The Walsh Brothers, Crime Scenes, Kristen Schaal, Brigette Everett, & Rebecca Drysdale

-Witnessed a woman in the bathroom making a LOT of strange noises while looking at herself in the mirror, and then flipping her hair, grunting, posing for herself, and judging me for my lackof bulemia. Brilliant.

-(and then I vomited on her to prove it's a bad idea)

-laughed at all the assssssspenites who wear huge fur boots, fur hats and full-length fur coats to walk from their car to the front door, when there is only 2 inches of snow on the ground and it's 40 degrees. Maybe the freezing point for silocone and botox is a little higher??

- one $9.00 drink, and then a bunch of cheaper ones.

-one 8-hour trip back home, because no one is a badassssssss(pen) in a blizzard.
