NEWS

* There's been such demand for tickets that this week, we're going to try putting all seats (tables and barstools) on-sale, on-line.

(Wednesday's and Saturday's assigned seats are already sold out.)



*Gary Gulman is on Conan tonight!



*We got through the 50th 'Head of the Charles' Regatta.



*Boy, I'm looking forward to Wednesday's show!



*True story: Many times the club is so full that we use the bar and bathroom on the second floor during the show. Last Saturday, there was a Halloween party on the second floor. Phoebe went to the second floor and was asked what she was dressed as. I went to the second floor and was told, "Nice costume".



*Another plug for that cool one day seminar at the BCAE (we sound pretty good in print!)
