The Sound of Young America - September Update!

Hey radio pals,

I'm a little early with this month's update, but there's so much exciting stuff going on, I thought I'd better get this out now. We've re-launched in Santa Cruz on a new station, we've got a big comedy show coming up in Oakland, t-shirts are flying off the shelves and I've become a published psuedo-journalist. More below.

Afternoon Tea with Patton Oswalt & Friends

As you can see from the flier above, we've got a really cool show coming up in Oakland on Sunday afternoon. Our friend Rusty Mahakian put it together under his A Bookburning Comedy Showcase banner (he's also performing), and it features a real murderer's row of comics. Our old friend Patton Oswalt is headlining and hosting. He was also our guest on this past week's show. Arj Barker is leading up the undercard -- a San Francisco legend and a brilliant, captivating comic. Brent Weinbach, who's been heard a few times on the show, is a good friend of mine and of the show, and will also perform. And Mary Van Note, who graduated from UCSC just a couple years ago, will be performing her own unique brand of Kaufman-esque humor. It's all Sunday at the AK Press warehouse in Oakland. The show starts at 2:30PM, and is $10... we're not advertising this anywhere, so please tell your friends -- even if you don't live in the Bay Area, I'm sure someone you know does. This will be the best Bay Area comedy show of the year, and you'll be out of there just in time for a nice dinner in the East Bay.

I'm proud to report that we've re-launched The Sound of Young America in our homeland - Santa Cruz. The folks at KUSP, the local NPR affiliate and community radio station, have been really supportive of the show, and I'm proud to be associated with the station. If you're in the Monterey Bay Area, you can hear the show every Sunday at six PM.
