blogging about Baron Vaughn, part II

I spent the evening with Baron Vaughn, "the guy from that AOL commercial." We saw a 12:30am comedy show at Gotham. (Incidentally, it turns out that, when we get tired, I get cranky, and he needs to ironically breakdance on the subway platform in order to stay awake).

I got home and left him a comment on his comedysoapbox page about him being so funny it made me quit comedy out of self-loathing and go back to my day job selling insurance. (Seriously, though, do you think I could sell insurance on this blog? How about real estate, or strudel?)

Baron's blog is here (excerpt: If you are black and someone says to you..."Do you wanna be an Afri-Can't or an Afri-Can?" They have just given you permission to stab them), and his one-man show runs July 27 through August 7.

Baron's blog is called "Negro Witticisms." I think using the word "negro" is, for black comics, the equivalent of "wearing funny black glasses" for white comics.

Ponder!
