Paul Mecurio Recap

I'm dangerously close to developing a man-crush on Paul Mecurio. I went to his final stand-up show at the Comedy Connection last night, and it was outstanding. I'm not dumb enough to try to capture a bunch of improvised jokes in writing, but I will say that you simply can't get more mileage from talking to a woman whose baby was born with two teeth than Mecurio did last night.

It's over now, and you all missed it, but make sure to keep an eye out for the next time he's back in town.

For any readers who check in over the next few days, we'll soon have a post up with New Years' recommendations. If you're bored in the meantime, check out this post by Ian Donnis on movies that force you to watch through to the end if you find them on TV. All of them are guaranteed to get you through a slow winter evening at home.

And, of course, a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and festive other holiday that you may be celebrating between now and the start of 2008.
