No Creative Title - My Wit Is On Holiday

Happy Memorial Day.

The hydrants are open again in my neighborhood.

Here's the final Star 76 video I did. With Marcos Sanchez, of Chantico Warfare with me, and Rachel Zylstra.

Plug Friday

Hey you guuuuuyss!!! Who am I? Sloth!? From the Goonies!? You're right! Also, if you said the big crazy looking guy from The Hills Have Eyes, you're close, he does look like Sloth. And if you said watching that movie while you work all by your lonesome late at night in a giant office building was a bad idea, you're definitely right. Cause I did it. And it scares you. Even though you're not 9. Or a little girl.

Since it's Friday here are more TGIF plugs for you, the first in the form of another Star 76 promo video I did, this one with Jeremy O'Grady and Beth Cartier. BTW, Star 76 just opened their online store, so go there and get yourself a t-shirt to look all stylish this weekend at that potluck/birthday party/spin-the-bottle-marathon you're going to.




And now you're thinking, "Man that was a great video. Now that I'm so pumped to have an awesome weekend with this great new t-shirt, what's gonna be my weekend soundtrack?" Good question. You can answer that by getting Sergeant's brand new album, featuring my friend Keli Reule. Go to their MySpace to buy it.

No, no, don't thank me. Thank Plug Friday. The best day of the week.

TGIF (TELL GUS Chiggins I'M FUNNY)

It's Friday again - my the weeks are rolling on, IT'S MAY ALREADY, wow you and I gotta get in shape soon to hit the beach, bro! Nice cargos! - so I figured I'd gift you another video for your entertainment.

Here's another video from the Leadership Camp. This is Always Be Closing, our episodic office video. We recently added it to Funny Or Die, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's comedy YouTube brainchild. Here's the deal: watch it, and if you think it's funny, click the Funny button on the clip. If you don't think it's funny, click the Die button. The more Funny rankings we get, the higher we're rated on the site and the better it looks. The more Die's we get, the lower our score and the worse it looks til' it's banished to the "unfunny crypt" of the site. So go ahead, watch it and rate, in full honesty, whatever you think. (I'm watching you SO hard and if you even think about hitting Die I will come through this screen so fast you'll think I was Al Gore jumping out of the internet I created....I am so serious right now, I would even slap Ghandi for voting Die, I don't even care...). What, go ahead, watch. I didn't say anything.

Always Be Closing: Episode 1

Oh, To Be A Rockefeller

Today I got a voicemail from my mom saying,

"Hey Cory, hope you're doing good. I guess you have to work tonight. That's too bad. Sorry we're not independently wealthy and you have to go to work."

I feel really blessed to have parents who are humble enough to admit their faults....like not becoming millionaires.

It's ok, Mom and Dad, I still love you. Although I will say, the one thing from my childhood that really messed me up was my extreme lack of caviar.

There's A BLACKOUT In NYC Tonight















Tonight, all those in the NYC area, prepare to sit in the dark and be tickled (not literally, that's weird) as my improv group BLACKOUT does a show at the UCB Theatre tonight in NYC. BLACKOUT performs a fully improvised show off one suggestion completely in the dark. It's like an improvised radio show, or like lying in bed awake listening to your neighbors fight (only funnier).

Show starts at 11pm, tickets are $5, and you can even go at 8:00pm and see great improv from the UCBT's Harold teams and stay for our show afterwards....all for one low price. Come on out and wear whatever you want, because no one will be able to see you in the dark. You can finally wear that Bobby Brown t-shirt you've wanted to.
