It begins.

First rehearsal for BUNK!, our new IFC show. We’ll be shooting 10 episodes over the next week with some awesome comedians. I’ll post some weird pictures when I can. 

I’m playing it off cool with no exclamation points here, but it’s really difficult.

Dear Neighbors,

Is it just me, or is he making the same face as his shirt?

Congrats on the show Kurt! It is exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Neighbors,

I don’t know if you are aware of this, but Kurt Braunohler loves responding to missed connections. Sadly, he finds very few missed connections written about himself. How does he deal with this constant bombardment of disappointment you may ask? Why, by responding to the missed connections of others!! It is amazing. I doubt his stories will make it into the line up, but they made it on his blog, enjoy.

Dear Hot Tub,

After this show I went home and immediately burned all of the clothes I was wearing and threw the cat in for good measure.  Also, Kurt told a story about how alienating it is to have bedbugs and it made me realize that I am a jerk. About a month later I met guy with the bugs and upon learning that he had them, scooted as farm away from him as possible. Doing the exact opposite of what Kurt advised us to do during the show. And I just have to question Kurt’s advice giving skills.

You wonder if bedbugs are too terrifying to even joke about? I say yes, yes they are.

Dear Neighbors,

I gathered my courage and jumped on my bike and made my way to the Littlefield for a good soak in Hot Tub. It was excellent (mostly). And Kurt B shared some good news with us all, the TV show he has been working on, Bunk, was picked up for 10 episodes! Yay! We then watched an example of how the show worked, it is sort of a game show style that seems like it will frequently end in Kurt suffering from giggle fits. It was fun and it will be interesting to see how it works out.

Congratulations Kurt!

Dear Neighbors,

Hot Tub tomorrow night at the Littlefield. I wish there was a real hot tub there, because trekking to Gowanus sounds really cold. And also bikinis.

Hey Neighbors,

Well now I really am upset because I just came across this event that I actually can’t go to this Thursday at the Littlefield (which I love). You should go to the Non-Office Holiday Party and enjoy some punch and Kurt Braunohler and make out with everyone you can under the mistletoe. I bet Kurt would do it. In fact, if he does, will someone please document it?

Thursday, 7:30pm, the Littlefield.

Thanks,

YN

Dear Kurt Braunohler,

I think since moving to New York I have decided that you Kurt, are the most consistently funny comedians I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t matter what you are talking about (bed bugs, craig’s list missed connections, made up whale facts, giving advice to young girls, etc.) I am always highly amused. I recently heard your bit with Ms. Shaw on RadioLab (Fantastic!) and was highly amused and, as usual, also slightly creeped out.

Keep up the good work!
