The Armando Diaz Experience @ The Magnet Theater
Oct. 28, 2006
The Magnet Theater has so many great shows. The Magnet comes from The Armando Diaz Experience. And the Armando Diaz Experience on Saturday night was one the best shows I’ve seen in a while. Simply put, it was a lot of fun, and everybody in it is a fucken pro with years and years of flight time. And, of course, the standing-room house was superfriendly and cool, too, but maybe that’s because it rained that night. In the movie “Tootsie,” Bill Murray*, who plays Dustin Hoffman’s roommate Jeff Slater, says of audiences:
“I don’t want a full house at the Winter Garden Theatre. I want people who just came out of the worst rainstorm in history. These are people who are alive on the planet … until they dry off. I wish I had a theatre that was only open when it rained.”

The Definition of ‘Lasting Power’
Via Fazed.net
* * *
Redacted from an article in Playboy Magazine, June 2000 (PARKER & STONE : A candid conversation with the outrageous duo behind South Park about corrupt studios, evil celebrities and why we should all see Tom Cruise’s weenie)
TREY PARKER: I had a friend who went to work on Behind the Music, and he said that the stretch from the 30-minute mark to the 45-minute mark is called “The Price of Fame.” And whatever it is, they gotta find the POF. Our POF is coming, and I’m really nervous about what it’s going to be.
PLAYBOY: Is the process of fame really as predictable as [they] make it sound?
PARKER: Oh yeah. I was just watching the Behind the Music marathon on VH1, and it’s so funny how everyone goes through exactly the same shit.
MATT STONE: Except for “Weird Al” Yankovic. You see “Weird Al’s”?
PARKER: Yeah.
STONE: “Weird Al” is like, “Nope, I’m a pretty happy guy. Nothing’s really going on…”

July 18, 2005
Let’s face it — all of us comedy nerds have been playing ketchup with Carl Arnheiter for years (be sure to check out Andrew Dickerson’s lovely photos from this particular show). Carl e-mailed yesterday to mention he will soon be sharing Rice Krispies treats with the Dave Foley on Nov. 15 … Neat!
