Saturday Night....

It has been a couple of busy days once again.

Thursday night I had the opportunity to spend some time with Dave Attell and Lewis Black. Lewis was in town to play the Roxy and Dave was playing the Tabernacle. Like many comedy clubs, we to are seeing certain acts either play concert venues exclusively or mixing concert dates in with the club dates.

I believe that we will see both Dave and Lewis back in our club before too long, each expressed an interest in coming back through the club. In point of fact, this Roxy date with Lewis was originally planned for the club.

Last night I visited with Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, and Zach Galifianakis - the whole show was hosted by David Anthony. The whole show was held at The Earl here in Atlanta and is part of their "Comedians of Comedy" tour. I believe that they are pretty much exclusively playing small rock clubs, which is interesting if only because the audience stands for the entire show. Now, it's not really if only interesting, but also interesting because they are all comedians who seem to thrive in the small rock club environment.

Voodoo Enronomics

Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

Communism: You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Enron Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred through an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The Enron annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
