What if I Was Making an Awesome Video In a Butthole?

My buddy Marc Kennedy (the guy in the sweater) made this video. Watch it! Spread it around! Love him!

That's My Bro!

From an e-mail with my brother, William:

One of my friends told me that there is a new store in Raleigh where everything costs more than 500 dollars. You should rob it.

Man I miss my family sometimes.

Joe Stanton: The Stand-Up Show

Last night I did stand-up for the first time. I thought it went pretty well: I used fortune cookies and I had a list of jokes with "THESE ARE MY JOKES" written on the back. This is a picture of me looking at a Martha Stewart holiday magazine* with her dressed as a "Glampire" on the cover. I didn't do a proper "joke" about it, I just wanted to show it to the audience. I spent seven bucks on that bit, and it actually worked out kind of well.

It was, firstly and foremost-ly, great fun, and I can't wait to do it again.

*A Halloween issue, thank god, and not Christmas.

I know, another Achewood post. But still.

Set Your Phasers on Funky

Lately I've been turned on to Kiwi folk-parody duo Flight of the Conchords. They're dry to the point of sometimes telling anti-jokes, but their comedy is infused with such a sense of fun that I can tell that they love what they are doing and want us to love it, too. Case in point:

I Mean, I Know That I've Always Wanted to Stab Austin

You guys should check out this short by my friend and co-worker Nick Faber, a funny guy. I'm going to guess that most of you have already seen it, but hey.
