Actually, I think we'd be pretty good sports about being ribbed for our eccentricities. Well, Dad would be anyway. I'd swallow it, though, if it would give you some new material you liked. If you do perform in London, I hope we'll be there for an April gig. How cool would that be? Mike is a very talented writer. So, even though it's a real loss if he gives up performing, at least his sensibility will still be out at work in our culture, making everyone just a little crazier.

The audiences go nuts for him no matter what he does at this point, so I feel like he has no way of editing. I admire his ability to stretch a ton of material out of a brief moment, but at the same time, he's kind of a one trick pony, and there are lots of accusations of him stealing from (incidentally) Louis CK. Lee, I also wanted to thank you again for the Stevie Ray Vaughn CD you got me at Christmas. I've been listening to it quite a bit, and had a transcendent moment on the 29 Bus listening to his Little Wing Cover. Really good stuff, and a style I haven't heard much of.

I never noticed he has no punchlines before, mostly because I studiously avoid him. But seriously, Louis CK is great. I haven't heard Ted Alexandro but will check him out.
