Comedian Talk Show Appearances: Week of Aug 29

Things have been quiet in Third Beat-ville as I’m on the road for the third and final time this summer. In an experience reminiscent of George Carlin’s A Place for My Stuff bit, I went on a trip-away-from-my-trip, which meant spending the last day and a half without my laptop. Scary!
