Posted on October 10th, 2010 No comments
Inspired by TED: Ideas Worth Spreading. Those dynamic and powerful ideas from the most brilliant minds to make the world better has spawned a satirical take – JEDtalks: Ideas Not Worth Spreading. Equally big and bold thoughts on the pressing problems of the world, but just terrible (but funny) ideas.

UCB Theatre Looking For Support in East Village, NYC
Posted on January 12th, 2009 No commentsThe Upright Citizens Brigade is exploring an opportunity to open an additional venue in the East Village and we can use your help. If you currently reside in the East Village and would be willing to support the effort please sign the petition linked below.
The Theatre is hoping to move into the Pioneer Theatre at Avenue A and 3rd Street, next to Two Boots Pizza. While we’re still a long way from making this happen the first step is to see if we can get enough support from within the community. To continue offering the same brand of comedy at the same affordable prices we’ll need to get a Beer/Wine license.
If you or anyone you know live within Community Board 3 (the area of NYC from the East River westward to 4th Avenue, and from 14th Street down to the Brooklyn Bridge) and support this effort please take a moment and sign the online petition, or stop by Two Boots this weekend and sign a live petition. If you do not live in the neighborhood, we appreciate your support but it will not be helpful to us for you to sign the petition.
