We have gotten really into going to see live comedians since we discovered The Stress Factory Comedy Club in NJ. They have headline acts, and their food is pretty good too... but most importantly, they have Blue Moon Belgian White Ale.We went to see Bill Burr, who absolutely *K-I-L-L-S* ...he was so funny we actually went to see him twice, and we laughed our balls off each time.

                                    The midget voiced owner of the Stress Factory                     Jane with Bill Burr, who is so utterly fucked up

                                  Vinny Brand, who is a funny Motherfucker in his                     that he should be put away for life. Hilarious

                                  own right. He MC's for some of the bigger acts,                                     psycopath that he is.

                                    and he treats us really really well. Great guy.

It was almost Halloween ...so we Hit the Chiller Theater Convention in NJ...this is like a second career for various has beens, and stars fighting their way back from rehab. The truth is, that even though this is a major nerd fest...this convention is a blast... and most of the old time TV stars are really cool to hang with, and very cordial....all except Val Kilmer, who's career has obviously taken a nose dive for him to even be at this thing. Wasn't he a big deal once? Not only did he look like shit, But he was extremely creepy. Plus I saw him humiliate a couple of fat kids who just wanted this bloated asshole to acknowlege them. I hope the next role he gets is the "Peep Show Mop Boy" in Boogie nights 2. What a dick....But the nuts who walk around in costumes are really amusing.

                              There is Something about guys who never get laid that makes them really obsessed with zombies

           Baywatch star Tracy Bingham is not only one of the most beautiful         Here we are with Roger, Duane & Dee...the surviving, and

             women we have ever seen....she is unbeleivably sweet. She and              coincidentally the three thinnest cast members from

                    Jane hit it off like they were sisters. What a doll.                                    "What's Happening"....Hey HAY Hey...

                                   Jane modeling her "Husband Beater" tank top.            The only way this geek could muster the nerve

                                       with the co-owner of "Evil Brand" clothes..               to hit on Jane was in a diansaur costume.

              Jane with Shetland Person, Gary Coleman                   ... And here with a few socially challenged folks

                        Me & my buddy RTPoe...a terrific writer              Jane with the 2nd runner up in the Brad Pitt look alike contest

                                           Town Hall meeting                                            Actually, this was a pretty convincing Freddy

        RTPoe...relax dude!                                There is something about drunken hot chicks in          Big bad Wolf copping a feel.

                                                                           nurses outfits that I like. Call me crazy.

Then we went to a Barry Eisler book signing...this guy is awesome...not only is he a terrific fiction writer...he is former CIA, and can kick your ass.... but he was unbeleivably cool to everyone who came...I am now a huge fan.

                                   Me & Barry holding up each other's books...guess which one of us makes a better living?

....and here I am on our way to Barry's book signing at McNally & Robinson book store, which carries my book. So Jane took a couple of publicity photos of me standing on the street corner looking like I am stalking a pre teen, Christ I look like a creep.

            One thing we try to do every year is get to the Halloween parade in Greenwich Village...we have one beer in as many bars as we can until...well...we can't drink anymore.... This parade is hysterical, and if there is one thing Gay guys can do better than hairstyleing, its silly Halloween costumes.       

  Before the parade we went shopping in Chinatown...check out the massive rack on the manequin...you dont see that in Macy's

                            On their way to an anti-racial profiling rally                                                 3 beers in.

                       You know, I should have tried....                                                         Dick Cheney

              and you thought the other dudes had bad hair...        Last year's Things 1&2 were much cooler...these two sucked.

                          He just got dumped & I was trying to cheer him up.        Jane would take on the entire Empire single handed

             Why do I even try to be cool?                                                        I would have let this chick hit me with her riding crop

                                                                                                            until the fucking cows came home, which ironically happened

                                                                                                                                  as soon as we left the bar.

       Jane with the Cows...comparing udders.                                                   ...yet another Jane fetish...

     Awful Brittany Spears costume. Straight guy, it figures.           We may not look it ...but any basic motor functions

                                                                                                     were quite a chore at this point in the evening.

We also hit the MinX "Angels & Demons" Halloween bash, which was an awesome fucking party.... we were actually prepared for this night of debauchery.... we spent a bundle on costumes, but I still managed to look like a douche. Now *this* party gets an amazing looking crowd...wink wink nudge nudge. Mike from MinX rules....

Now *these* are serious costumes...Jane's wings didn't come out too good in the pictures...they were too dark...but the cost a fortune and looked great...we were having major "fang" problems though, and decided to just say "fuck it"....

                   This is exactly what it loks like.                                  I look like a cross betweenan IROC driving guido, and an

                                                                                                  aging Heavy Metal drummer. Why am I holding a skull?

                                                                                                     Did I think for a momoent that this would look either

                                                                                                         cool or intimidating? What an asshole.

                                                                        My fallen angel...
