Weekend Update

I've been away on dial-up all weekend so you got a preview of what to come in two weekends when Shabbas is followed by the Pesach Yom Tov. I saw Fever Pitch and I absolutely enjoyed it. Next to St. Louis, Boston is my favorite team.

The Second City Tour Co. was recently in Oregon.

And speaking of good seats, we all know where Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore were last fall when the Boston Red Sox finally won their first World Series in 86 years - there in the thick of things at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. We've all seen the footage of the two of them rushing the field at the end, trailed by a movie camera, to film the ending of their romantic comedy Fever Pitch.

Man, I wish I was there.

I'll have to take a look at this later for my research paper on the impact of the Daily Show on the news/culture.

A look at Del Close. Close was the be-all, end-all of improv.

The pitcher settled on 12 alternative rock songs, including Stone Temple Pilots' "Plush," Pearl Jam's "Black," and the Foo Fighters' "Everlong."

See Fever Pitch!
