I received the email about the Solly's shows, and in my laziness and apathy, didn't really consider how the statement above is actually for the most part incorrect, until I read the comments below and agreed with some. The discussion regarding the fest this past week on the site has been good and its been intersting to hear both sides of the argument. But as it wore on, I realized more and more, how I just didn't care, for the most part the community doesn't care and the rest of the world doesn't care...I think it was while I was listening to Collin Cowturd on 980 go on and on about Brett Farve, and blah, blah, blah, that I realized that nobody really gives a shit about it (Farve), except the people that want to keep talking about it because they need to or they won't have anything else to talk about. Well, people in Green Bay care about Brett Farve. Thats about it. And its just like this festival...some, tiny faction of people in DC care and thats about it. And just like if Brett Farve plays this year for Green Bay or not, life goes on and its just not that important. Except media whores, this site included, who need to stir shit up so people will pay attention to them.
(Cue "South Park" Closing Music Bed) You see, I learned something today, comedy is a business, and businesses do their best to try and make money. As in business, just like in comedy, you're not going to please everybody. Often in comedy, you hear people say, "Its just a joke", well, the same way with showcases, "Its just a festival"--there will be others. And even if you made it into a festival, it doesn't make or break you--the consistent hard work is always what makes someone. And really, who gives a shit? Really. Really, who really, really, really gives a shit. Life keeps moving with or without any of these festivals. It's like Brett Farve's retirement, who really cares? The rest of the world is moving right along and enjoying life, maybe we should enjoy ours.
Cartmen: God, you're such a fag, Mike.
