New Gabe and Jenny Comedy Show Starts Thursday

100% of the people involved in this are awesome (this will be every other Thursday, produced by Alex Blagg):

Max Silvestri: The Interview, The Awesome T Shirt

My friend Max Silvestri did an interview with Gridskipper about his favorite NYC places to consume things. Today, they have a map of those places.

A good place to see Max perform comedy would be at his monthly show, "I Like Attention", the next of which is this Sunday, October 14 at 8pm. His co-host this month is none other than Gabe Delahaye. I can't wait!

Incidentally, I'm 99% sure that Max's tshirt in the (above) Gridskipper picture is an illustration from a 70's-era "Where do Babies Come From?" book I checked out from the library when I was in elementary school. (In retrospect, I checked out that entire section. I guess I probably wasn't fooling anyone, huh?)

Tomorrow night: Just an Evening? with Michelle Collins and guests:

John Mulaney from Best Week Ever

I saw Michelle last week and she KILLED! Also, the guests!? This will be an awesome show.

She's having another one next Tuesday at 10.

Comedy Stuff

* We posted the August Ritalin Reading lineup. Also there is now a widget type deal right there to your right that will have the upcoming lineup as soon as it's posted. I was very busy this weekend.

* Speaking of, the aforementioned I Like Attention show last night was SO AWESOME. Every second of it was hysterical - I highly recommend going next month.

I'm Going To This: Max Silvestri's I Like Attention

Max's show has so much ridiculous friend-buzz ("funniest show I've seen in years" type stuff) that I'm breaking my totally set-in-stone personal rule of *NEVER* going out on Sunday nights to be at this month's  I LIKE ATTENTION tomorrow. Just look at this lineup! Flyer:

Contest! Zack Galifianakis + Bad Art + Band of Horses

UPDATE: Carey and Kerry guessed correctly. Zach's "brother" is Seth Galifianakis.

I don't usually do contests but come on, this one is like tailor-made (when I found out about this event I said "Zach G, Bad art and Band of Horses? If I don't go I'm NOT ME!")

Tomorrow night at Hiro Ballroom, New York Magazine is having a benefit for New York Cares at which:

* Zach Galifianakis will auction off bad art
* Band of Horses will play a full set

To buy tickets, go here

To enter to win tickets, send me an email with the name of Zach Galifianakis's "brother" in the subject line by midnight EST tonight. 

You Tube Show and Tell Tonight

Event Tonight: YouTube Show and Tell with Julie and Jackie and special guests David Cross, Jon Benjamin, Leo Allen and Amelie Gillette at Mo's at 8:30.

Various and Sundry

* Just so there's no confusion, I'm not guest-blogging on a Law blog. This is one of those Postal Service v US Postal Service situations where confusion is not possible. (I would like to see some Highdeas over there though. Also, I hope I'm The Postal Service in that analogy.)

* Jonathan Coulton in the New York Times wooooo!!

* The lineup for the May 24th Ritalin Reading (next Thursday!) is set. It's very comedian-heavy this month, which was accidental, but awesome:

Alex Blagg (VH1 Best Week Ever)
Jon Friedman (The Rejection Show)
Greg Johnson (Comedian)
Adam Lowitt (The Daily Show)
Kristen Schaal (Comedian)
Mandy Stadtmiller (Comedian)

* This Wednesday, May 16, at 8: I'm a panelist on What's My Line? Live at Parkside Lounge. I'm told the surprise celebrity guest will be awesome (but that's true every month.)

The Roast of AJ Daulerio: Best. Thing. Ever.

The coolest thing ever happened last Friday. Because our friend AJ Daulerio is moving to Philadelphia, Will Leitch and Aileen Gallagher organized a surprise roast for him. For over a month, we had to keep it secret, but it was all worth it when it went off without a hitch (AJ was surprised, tons of his friends came out, we were funny, and he loved it). Gawker videographer Richard Blakeley was there to capture AJ's speech at the end of the roast:

One of the best nights of my life! (Note: if only ONE other roast takes place in the next six months, this will officially qualify as a Sunday Styles trend piece.)

Some photos after the jump. (UPDATE: NINE MINUTE long video on Deadspin. Unfortunately, technical difficulties prevented Eric Gillin's roast from being included, which sucks since he was hysterical.)
