It'd be nice to be in town for this.

Great show.. the space was comfortable and the crowd was fairly receptive, although there were a couple obnoxious hecklers in the crowd.

Matt Besser apparently ran into some problems getting through security, and Jeff Garlin ended up just dropping off Bob Odenkirk when he couldn't find any parking. In his defense, parking really was a bitch. After searching for 15 minutes, I was fortunate to catch a family leaving the metered parking.. and they flagged away 6 cars so I could have their space.

the comedians were one of the only redeeming factors of f yeah fest. security sucked and it seemed like a hassle just to get into the venue just to see the bands. and the rec center was labeled medical center so i first assumed it was a medical marijuana facility and walked right past it. haha.
The first show started off a little awkward because the sofa's weren't moved till a few sets in so it was almost like there were 2 crowds of people watching. i dont think there was a bad set on either show and matt braunger brought it twice so i had a lot of fun. and whenever there was heckling the comedians were really good with either just ignoring them or telling the drunky to shut up.
also i thought odenkirk was joking around when he said that garlin just dropped him off. when garlin didnt performed i laughed out loud. we got lucky with parking. i just turned onto the first street pass the echoplex and parked on a hill.
thanks go out to brody stevens, andy daly, and matt besser for letting me interview them this past weekend. hopefully i didn't make a fool of myself in the process.

I haven't had a chance to do it individually yet, but huge collective thanks to all the performers who participated in the show this year.

Sorry about Matt and Jeff!

Matt was doing us a huge favor and tried to fit a set in during yhe tiny window he had between the end of a class 7pm and an 8pm show at UCB. It was my fault for giving him the wrong check in information.

Thanks to everyone who braved the parking nightmare and came out to the show.
