So, I bought Louis CK's $5 download/stream of him Live at the Beacon Theater. I don't want to go off on a tangent about how genius what he's done here is, but it is worth some recognition. I've been saying for a long time that there are ways to make an honest living, doing what you love. Louis has basically accomplished this, or at least created a successful experiment in that direction. By doing it all himself, with help I'm sure, but without a studio and distribution company, he was able to sell his product cheap and clean and turn a profit. Is he going to become a millionaire because of it? I doubt it— but I also doubt he want's to, and that may just be the whole point.

 THANK YOU. Don’t get me wrong, I get and enjoy the whole “chaos in the streets” image. But let’s face it, it might as well be Shark Week: it comes once a year, ends up being amounting to different images of the same thing from the year previous and has like a million commercial breaks. 
Can’t we just make the g20 meeting days “Annual Fuck Shit Up Day”? It’s either that, or I get Mountain Dew to sponser me in a march at the next g20. Then who will be laughing!
