Rob. Thanks for the add- have enjoyed a few things I saw of yours on Mcsweeny's... but I'd be careful this week. I mean, have you even read your Horoscope? READ YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR APRIL 21-27
Hey, I wanted to invite you to the Philadelphia Improv Festival.
It's November 8th, 9th, and 10th, and there's going to be some great, great improv comedy from Philly groups and out-of-towners from Chicago, LA, New York, etc.
There's also some great workshops being offered.
Each block of shows is only ten bucks. All the info is at www.phif.org.
Thank you for allowing us to spread the SkyMall love over at No Cure For That. The world (and our site) is a more tolerable place with your humor in it!

Hi Rob, good to meet a fellow David Sedaris, Dave Barry, Woody Allen, and Philip Roth fan. You mentioned that you're looking for representation; if you like, check out the For Writers section on my website -- lots of information there I wish I had when I sold my first book.
Thanks Rob. If you want to get my new newsletter TWISERN! (The World Is So Exciting Right Now) just email me at beth@bethlapides.com. I think you'll dig it. Stay groovy.

Hello Mr. Bloom. Welcome Home! Your Kenya trip sounded amazing -- good blog. I was in your hood last week -- sort of. I'm glad that you got to escape the heat for a while. ... cool weather, monkeys and giraffes -- you lucky duck.
And thank you for the welcome/add... I actually share the same name as you and I googled you (me) a while ago and you (yes, you) are the first name (ours)(but you) to come up, and your psuedo-famous so I thought it would be cool to have you on my list of people I pretend to know.
Hey!! It was so great seeing you and Julie this weekend. I had such a blast with you guys!!! Hope to see you again soon. Hugs and kisses to you both. :)
Obviously Pluto is not hung up about or ashamed of the naturality of his own nudity. He also understands that what we don't say speaks volumes more than what we do. Pluto openly acccepts his doghood while Goofy struggles in vain to be human. Pluto is way cooler than Goofy.
I apologize in advance, cos my answer to your question is going to be unsatisfying. Gary recently died, and I chucked him into a dumpster, so a third plant would be called Gary. Truth be told, though, he would be my third Gary, and this Tom is my second. If only this "watering" were easier...
Hey, thanks for the add! Have you had a chance to see OPEN HOUSE yet? Let me know. If you have and you dig it, please check out the list of 29 things you can do to help spread the word. Thanks!!!
