It's May the 4th. Time to prep yourself for an onslaught of Star Wars refrences. But while you're being bombarding with misquotes today do not forget the wonder that is The Star Wars Holiday Special. So bad that George Lucas attempted to find all copies and destroy them. Alas, he failed. Here's the abridged 15 minute version. You can watch the whole thing here. May the 4th be with you.

I'm in the midst of what I refer to as the "college basketball hangover". The tourney is done. We have crowned a champion. And now all that's left is the dreaded NBA. Eventually, some weeks from now, I will cave and watch a series (usually the conference finals) but not just yet. I'm still strong enough. Instead, let's look at some bloopers from this past season.

This past Christmas my wife got a pair of tickets to see David Sedaris from her mother. She has seen him before, I had not - although I have read most of his books.

When I was touring the country in my Dodge Caravan with a rock band the only audiobooks we listened to were David Sedaris stories. For hours we would howl as he spun tales, one after another. Last night we settled in at the historic Virginia Theatre and let him dazzle us. Here's a clip from him reading at the Village Voice a few years back. Enjoy.
