Amsterdam Cafe Tuesday Open Mike

I will be hosting the Cafe Amsterdam Tuesday Open Mike throughout the rest of the summer, until who knows when. This is going to be a great showcase for area musicians, comics, poets and artists. Please come on down some Tuesday night to check it out. They have great food, great decor and awesome people working the counter.

EffinFunny Show Coming Up

I’m really excited to be on the bill for a great EffinFunny Stand Up A Go Go show. I created the Stand Up A Go Go name 5 plus years ago, then suggested it to my comic friend Tom Clark when he started producing shows at ComedySportzLA. Now EffinFunny has signed on as co-producers, and the shows are featuring top comics (and me too)!

Destructopus Beats Kickballz of Fire

Destructopus 7, Kickballz of Fire 2

The winning just keeps happ’ning.

So, I play on two kickball teams: The Trey Stafford Explosion in the Studio Division, and Destructopus in the Victory Division. Last Wednesday we beat the Kickballz of Fire, an awesome new team with some killer kickers. Look for these guys to dominate in the playoffs. If you’ve never seen a game before, please come check one out, we play every Monday at North Hollywood Park.

Orange Country Chronic Con

This is another segment I did recently for Attack of the Show, with the extremely funny WIll Bowles. I was channeling Dan Akroyd, and the host Chris Hardwicke comments on it somewhat afterward (although Akroyd is from Toronto).

Trey Stafford Explosion Wins Again!

TSE 19, Bad News Ballz 0

Trey Stafford Explosion, the kickball team I have played on for the last two years is undefeated! Last night we played the Bad News Ballz, a fun new team made up of folks who work at ABC Family. They are really cool people and will be very competitive in a couple games. If you’ve never seen a game before, please come check one out, we play every Monday at North Hollywood Park.

Tomorrowland Spaceman: My Dream Job

I’ve finally realized what I want to be when I grow up, and it’s gonna be a challenge: I want to be the Spaceman in Disneyalnd’s Tomorrowland circa 1957. That guy had everything: cool outfit, cool ride (a rocketship called the TWA Moonliner...how cool is that?) a sexy space WOMAN to hang around with



He’s got such a cool, classic sci-fi spacesuit, silver lamé with padded rolls and some sort of communications device on his belt, and an awesome helmet with the antenna. The spaceman’s role seems to be ambassadorial (Hey, space is great folks, you should try it!) although I think he had to shill for Kaiser Aluminum (the sponsors of the Hall of Fame from 1955-1960).




At the end of a tough day doing whatever he did the Tomorrowland Spaceman even had a Space Bar to go to.



Who did he talk to on that communicator belt? Walt Disney? Guss Grissom? JFK? I love the optimism of early Tomorrowland. A post-war, pre-Nam American where anything was possible.



This shot below is amazing. Surrounded by Cub Scouts, looking very fligh-ready. Telling the boys to drink Ovaltine and study calculous and they can be Spacemen too.



Here he is hanging out with your aunts and grandmother, posing nonchalantly like David Niven. The spacesuit is more streamlined, no rolled sleeves, communicator belt or even gloves. Space girl’s outfit is missing the cape and frilly skirt previous girlstronauts wore.

Kickball Win For TSE!

Trey Stafford Explosion, the kickball team I have played on for the last two years has recorded their first season-opening win! We play in the WAKA CA Studio division, a very lively confederacy of geeks and nerds from the entertainment industry pretending to be athletes. If you’ve never seen a game before, please come check one out, we play every Monday at North Hollywood Park.
