Yo-

The comedian Jamie Kilstein invited me to come see his show tomorrow night as I'm doing a profile on him; he's also a member of Project PM, as is his wife Allison Kilkenny, who's a prolific and up-and-coming blogger who actually turned me on to HuffPo and True/Slant. Wanna go? We get in free and I'll buy you drinks as I have money now (only had $24 in my account the other night but didn't want to admit to this). Let me know.
