Won’t be blogging after all. Gonna keep this up for a while and see what happens.

I am making my retirement from most performance official, so this “blog” has somewhat lost its purpose. I have started a Tumblr, but I don’t have any expectations for it.You can find it here:  I’ll continue to perform in “Colbert Report Writers: Seize The Mustard” improv at UCB theater until someone in charge figures out we have no idea what we’re doing. The next one is July 30: A big Del Close Marathon show in that freaky Aames room theater at F.I.T. I have fun every time I do this show.Colbert Report Writers: Seize the Mustard at DCMThanks for playing.-E

I return to the writing staff of The Colbert Report. October 26, 2009. I will be concentrating on this rather than outside stuff/performing for a while. Please tune in to one of the finest, funniest shows on TV. I’m thrilled to be back.

With the exception of one weird gig that’s coming together for the end of June, I’m going to lay low live-performance-wise for the summer. Stay tuned and I’ll see you all in the Fall.
