latest stuff:
Louis CK
I went and saw Louis CK at the Orpheum on Saturday night. He's one of the funniest comedians around and the show was fantastic. I just saw that he is booked to play in Worcester at the Hanover Theater.
I recommend seeing him if you like things that are funny.

Re: Louis CK
If, on the other hand, you like unfunny things, go see Yakov Smirnoff or Bob Saget.
Re: Louis CK
Have you seen Bob Saget lately? He's actually a pretty funny (and raunchy) dude. He's no Louis CK though.
The show must have went well because here's what he wrote on Twitter afterwards:
"thanks to anyone who came to the orpheum last night. that was one of the best crowds i ever worked for and its all on tape"
Re: Louis CK
Yeah Bob Saget is a pretty funny stand-up, I have seen a few of his specials and laughed a lot.
The Louis CK show was great! It was all material I hadn't heard before.
The Orpheum though... $10 beers. assholes.
Re: Louis CK
I was stoked to get an email about Louis CK at The Hanover last night, I wrote a blurb on my blog and was going to start a thread here, but I got distracted by the interwebs.
The Hanover has done a good job booking quality, relevant comedians who can fill the room, I wish they would jump out of their safe zone with some musical guests.
Ticket prices didn't look bad, $20 to $30 I think. Locals know where to park for free and I think Hanover beers are $5.00.
I'll be ushering that night no doubt.
Re: Louis CK
I think the membership thing is horseshit. Tickets on sale now for members and next week for anyone else.
Re: Louis CK
If you need a hookup I could probably put in a call and score some now.
I did it for my parents to see Lampanelli and ended up with 5th row on the floor right on the aisle.
Re: Louis CK
4Rilla, I'd take two, if yer offering.
edit: once you hook up my man D of course...
Re: Louis CK
I think the membership thing is horseshit. Tickets on sale now for members and next week for anyone else.
I am guessing many of the members probably don't know who he is Duncan, you should be good.
Re: Louis CK
I'm definitely interested in 2 tix. 4-rilla let me know if i need to call myself.
Re: Louis CK
Yeah anyone who is interested just say so here until I go to bed at midnight. I'll call tomorrow and try to work my volunteer charms for a hookup.
Re: Louis CK
Louis CK is responsible for Pootie Tang, so the dude's alright with me.
Re: Louis CK
4Rilla, Robust and I would love a pair, if you can. That would be friggin sweet!
Re: Louis CK
will trade product for a pair as well 4rilla.... thanks in advance for what should be an awesome evening....
Re: Louis CK
I will certainly give the box office a call and see what they can do for me....
Crystal and I have worked probably 35+ shows combined in the past year so I would think that they can squeak me in for the presale, even if I am buying a block.
What is the consensus? Orchestra as close as possible? IMO rows 3-8 are the best since you don't have to stare up as high as you would in the first couple rows.
Re: Louis CK
Best you can get, as you are incredibly generous man.
Just let me know how to get the moolah to you, and I will, asap.
Re: Louis CK
The real question for me here is how long do these shows run. Wheat at Ralph's takes precedence this night for sure. Could I make both?
Re: Louis CK
Depends on if there is an opener or not....
Duncan or Brendan could let us know if there was one in Boston. Without an opener this should be done by 9:45, 10:30 with an opener.
Re: Louis CK
4Rilla, I trust your judgment. Thank you. :)
Re: Louis CK
4rilla, let me know how much, when, where etc. and we'll make it happen. trust your seating judgment as well, thanks.
Re: Louis CK
Hey folks this is all set.
I covered everyone in this thread as well as Duncan who sent me a PM. Crystal and I decided to attend as well rather than work since it looks like such a "happening".
I was able to get us 12 tickets together 6 in the 4th row and 6 in the 5th row directly behind each other.
These were $30.00 tickets that became $35.00 each with handling and restoration fees. I should have them in hand by early next week and can certainly do some sort of Dive/Nick's/Emporium meetup/drop off to meet anyone's needs.
Let's make a night of it!
Re: Louis CK
Incredible!!!! I'm so psyched! Thank you, one millionfold.
Re: Louis CK
Thanks 4rilla. Let me know where you need me to be (shop/Dive etc...). Looking forward to this.
Re: Louis CK
Thanks so much! Let me know when/where and we'll get the moola to ya. Woohoo!
Re: Louis CK
No problem all.
Happy to be able to do my little part to help out The worcesterite community!
Re: Louis CK
I'm a little giddy. :) We all owe you a beer. Wait, I mean we each owe you a beer. I'm not suggesting we each chip in for one beer.
Re: Louis CK
YAY We get to see a show and not have to work it....Makes up for the fact the next show we work is American Idols in Concert, shot me now...
Re: Louis CK
Hey Folks, the tickets showed up today!!
They were $70 even per pair. I will be around town all weekend for the most part. If anyone wanted theirs this weekend I can certainly hook up at The Dive or The Abbey or you can feel free to swing by if in area of University Park.
I will certainly be at the Dogfish Head 75 minute event next Thursday at the Dive as well for an easy meetup.
Stacy- I suspect they shipped yours the next day and I should have them either tomorrow or Monday.
Gonzo- We might hit up the store tomorrow and hand off your tix and raid your shelves!
Re: Louis CK
I will keep the Dive in mind. Thank you so much, again.
Re: Louis CK
We'll plan on coming down to the dive on thursday. Thanks again. I'm psyched!
Re: Louis CK
4rilla, will be the USAMarine Fishing Expo tomorrow (Sunday, Rte. 20) stop by or I'll be at the shop all week... thanks again...
Re: Louis CK
Woohoo! We are super excited for this. Many thanks. I can pick-up after 6 anyday this week, just message me where to be!
Re: Louis CK
Just wanted to confirm that I will be at The Dive tonight with tickets in hand if anyone is swinging by to pick them up.... I should be down there from 7:30 until 9:30 or so (possibly later).
Look for the good looking guy in the camo Red Sox hat, and Duncan or Alec can point you to me as well.
Re: Louis CK
I was told you were there but must have missed you. I'm usually at the Dog sundays after 9:30(ish) but thats an awkward time for "usual folks". Let me know where/when I can meet up with you. Pretty much any day/time is ok seeing as I'm out of work...
Re: Louis CK
4Rilla great to meet you last night! Looking forward to pregame!
Re: Louis CK
Yes indeed it was nice to put a face to the name...a pleasure, and really kind of you to go out for us like this. Sorry I had to duck out on the early side, or I woulda seen ya Fanny. (that sounds funny)
I'd LOVE to know if we'll be meeting up early, and will be there.
Thanks again!!!
Re: Louis CK
speaking of Louis CK, he's been blogging about his recent (current?) trip to Iraq for USO. It's fantastic writing (and pretty good photography too); y'all should check it out if you haven't already.
Re: Louis CK
Stacy,
Dive tomorrow night?
9:30 or so?
Barbicide if your in the vicinity feel free to come on down for yours as well.
If not I can hook up with you on Sunday night if you are going to The Dog.
Re: Louis CK
Planning on hitting the Dog for a friend's going away party but I'll try to swing by the Dive first(most likely). Thanks again!!
Re: Louis CK
Mike and I will be there at 9:30!!
Re: Louis CK
TICKET ALERT. Have two tickets here at the Emporium. I am double booked for the International Beerfest in Providence and cannot attend.
Let me know if you'd like to go see Louis and we'll make it happen.
All the best.
Re: Louis CK
I know a bunch of you have tickets and it would be super fun to make a night of it! Any ideas for a pre or postshow gathering of worcesterites?
Re: Louis CK
Tina called first and Andy is 2nd in line. Thanks for the quick response and I'm sorry I can't attend but glad that the seats will be filled...
Re: Louis CK
Oh this is gonna be fun, I am said the good doctor will not be attending, but it will be fun
Re: Louis CK

Post show, Wheat, who are one of my favorite bands of all time, local or otherwise, are playing at Ralph's and I cannot recommed this show enough. That Luxury band is playing too.
Re: Louis CK
Another pre show option is a little get together at Crystal and my place. We have full access to the roof 6 stories up with great views of the city.
Every gruesome twosome can bring a six pack and we can make some light snacks. We are then a quick 4 minute drive to The Hanover.
Re: Louis CK
We are down with whatever!
Re: Louis CK
That Luxury band is playing too.
Don't want to be a prick about it but you now have to refer to them as "The winners of the 2009 WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble, The Luxury(TM)". Thanks for your concern.
Re: Louis CK
Kyles brother won 4 tickets at the dog the other night, So I will be going as well.
Re: Louis CK
Looks like Crystal and I will be hitting up The Dive from 6:30 to 7:30 for a couple beers before heading to The Hanover. Hope to see you Louis CK folks there!
