Too Good to be True

Cupcakes topped with not just vanilla babies but chocolate as well (or Latino babies, as the package read, apparently). Comix, NYC ~ 1/27/10

Jon Friedman cracking up the kids with"your mother" jokes. Comix, NYC ~ 1/27/10

Folks "show"ered (and roasted) me and baby-to-be with love last week at Comix for the first-ever comedy co-ed Baby SHOWer that people not only didn't whine about attending beforehand, but raved about for days afterward.

Produced by Jenn Wehrung, Julia Wright, and Brandy Barber.

Special guests included dear peeps Jenn Hyjack, Honi Harlow, Giulia Rozzi, Shawn Hollenbach, Jenny Rubin, Jon Friedman, Leah Dubie, Matt Sears, Katina Corrao and Adam Wade live via satellite (or pre-recorded video, if you want to get technical)! Oh, and there were tremendous cupcakes.

Can't Afford the Hamptons? Thank Goodness!

That scene blows anyhow. Come on down and join me and the doll-faced, sassy pants-ed, foul mouthed Sara Jo Allocco for her debut of her new bi-weekly variety show, Summer Share at Fortune Cookie Caberet under Lucky Chengs! All the cool kids are gonna be there. Oh, and it's in your budget: it's free.

The last time I was in the basement of Lucky Cheng's must have been about ten years ago. It was the wee hours of the morning, and I had just finished my bartending shift at sister restaurant Waikiki Wally's next door. As I sipped a nightcap to take in some terrifically terrible karaoke, a drag queen who had just finished her waitressing shift offered me some cocaine off the end of a key.

"No, thanks, but thank you for thinking of me."

"It's okay, honey. You sure? (sniff sniff) Yeah. Somebody just gave it to me. (sniff sniff)"

Uh-huh. No doubt. People just give cocaine out all the time.

Here's a photo of my pals Matt McCarthy and Katina Corrao from a tremendous and heartwarming benefit Katina put together at Comix on Sunday called a Night for Dottie. This shot is from Matt and Katina's Pina Colada Song skit which is HILARIOUS and can be seen here.

And look who else was there? Why if it isn't my old friend Fitzy! Read all about him and his Masshole mania @ Townie News. Go Sox and as Fitzy would say, Go GFY.
