The Whitest Kids U' Know

By PerpleReign on Wed, Feb 13, 2008 6:00 pm

This past Sunday wasn't just the day that Kanye West pulled the dead mom card on live TV during the Grammys. It was also the premiere of the second season of the brilliant, piss-in-your-pants comedy, The Whitest Kids U' Know (Sundays at 11pm, on IFC). In case you have been sleeping on your cutting edge comedy troupe game, The Kids are a group of Brooklyn based SVA alums who give the Mr. Show dudes a run for their money (and I will laugh at anything, absolutely anything David Cross does). Made up of Trevor Moore, Sam Brown, Zach Gregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter, Jr., the troupe has been garnering acclaim for sometime now-Variety named them one of the “10 Comics to Watch” in 2006. The premiere had my roommate and I weeping as Sam’s ever-present ball sack kept pulling a Where’s Waldo? and as Trevor got too much info on his first date (hint: she handles menstruation by air-drying). If the writers’ strike had you bummed, and you had residual bummed-outness from the loss of Chappelle’s Show as I did, rejoice, because The Whitest Kids U’ Know is here to make everything OK. And by OK, I mean offensive, uncensored, raw and out of control. If you think Michael Cera is the cat’s pajamas, do not sleep on this show. And since the weather has been turrrrrrrible as of late, cop season one which is now available from Genius Products and catch up with the goofy and spot-on humor that is only gonna get better this season.

Tales Pre-party

By pinklady on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 12:24 pm

Before dinner MiMi, Em, and I (Pink Lady) head down to the Carousel Bar for Vieux Carres and to meet up with Hanky Panky and Barbara West. The Carousel Bar spins in the center of the room, so to chat with these seated gals, we have to march slowly around the room with them. We're doing the "Carousel Crawl." It looks impossibly silly.

On our way...

Tuesday LUPEC hits the road for Tales!

 

6:45 a.m. ET: Ouch. We arrive at the airport. Mimi, Pink Lady, and longtime friend, Em are traveling together on Jet Blue. We’ve had a collective 8 hours of sleep between the 3 of us and are in desperate need of coffee.

 


Activists, lobbyists and legislators rally to cut emissions

By Scott Sayare on Thu, Jul 3, 2008 2:13 pm

A crowd of about a hundred ex-hippie environmentalists, optimistic lobbyists, state congressmen in ties and business suits, and concerned citizens from five to 75 crowded the State House steps yesterday in support of the Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA). Armed with posters, megaphones, and an acoustic guitar, they called for the House of Representatives to vote on and pass the far-reaching carbon emissions bill, which has already been approved by the state senate.
