Things I Have Done

The Greatest Twitter Story Ever Told

This week I was flying to LA when my plane made an emergency landing in Kentucky. Along the way, I experienced new friendships, free food, and a celebrity mustache. I live-tweeted the experience and packaged it into a Twitter Moment for you.

I'm Graduating Tonight in Los Angeles

I’m in LA for a week and part of a thing here tonight. So sorry this is late notice, but I’ve been running a little hard lately. I participated in a creative exercise called The Art of Freelance. It’s a course designed to get your projects out of your brain and into the world. Thirty of us will be sharing the projects we’ve been working on. Mine is about what I'm doing with my life next. Come tonight at the Viaduct. Doors at 6pm. Art and Music and FOOD!

One or Two More Things

• I went to prison yesterday and think more people should

• I’m selling a pretty artsy fartsy, round coffee table in NYC before the end of the year. Delivery included. Someone please buy it.

Things I Have Not Done

Media Worth Consuming and Things Worth Doing

• Original Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead started the Lady Parts Justice League, a rapid-response creative team of activists and comedians working to defend reproductive rights. Support their 28-day “Cycle of Giving” with money before the end of the year!

• Gearing up to fight our tiny little American emperor? Check out Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda. and read the backstory in the New Yorker.

• Don't you hate it when you try to spout racist rhetoric in NYC and a big, brawny, biker-looking white guy shouts you down?

• Finally, I promise Carpool Karaoke will make you feel better. Start with the Tony Awards one, and then let the autoplay roll for the next four years.

This is the End of the Email
