Comedy Megaton
Via Brooklyn Vegan, the [greatest comedy show of the year](http://www.summerstage.org/index1.aspx?BD=19254):
> NYC’s premier venue for alternative comedy brings a night of stand-up & sketches to SummerStage. Hosted by Paul Scheer (VH’s 1 Best Week Ever) and Rob Heubel (Curb Your Enthusiasm) with scheduled performers Aziz Ansari (Comedy Central’s Premium Blend), Todd Barry, Jackie Clarke, David Cross (Arrested Development), Demitri Martin (The Daily Show), and Amy Pohler (Saturday Night Live).
This is about a week before [Del Close](http://www.delclosemarathon.com/dcm8/index.php?option=home). And if [the line](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/27693926/) was bad last year, it’s going to be 10x worse this year.
Note to self: Leave work early.
Eugene Mirman Protest
Tonight was the Eugene Mirman protest, put together by [Eugene Mirman](http://www.eugenemirman.com). While the actual handing-out of signs didn’t start until maybe 3 minutes before the event was supposed to start, it was quite comical and silly and confusing to those not in on it.
For all of my pictures, just check my photoset: [Eugene Mirman Protest @ Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/sets/72057594129662059/)
