I just purchased tickets to the March 4, 2007 Comedians of Comedy in San Francisco and this will be my 2nd time seeing Maria perform! I'll take How To Win! and hope to meet her and get it autographed. I am super excited.

But how am I going to say "hi" if I won't get to meet Maria? Well, atleast if I got to meet her "hi" is what I'd say anyway. A lot of people don't know what to say to someone who inspires them but "hi" always works.

Well, not sure if Maria will be signing posters they're selling after the show but I sure hope so. I can be a douche and ask for a picture.

She's got a busy schedule for the weekend though. I wouldn't blame her for leaving right after the show and catching some zzzzs.

I have e-mailed her more than a few times. If we meet, we meet. I am going there right after work. My friend is closing for me so I'll be in a big hurry to get to the city. I am wearing this awesome shirt to the show: I was going to buy it and wear it to the Sarah Silverman show a few weeks ago but I am definitely wearing it to C.O.C. The shirt is cute and makes me giggle a little.

Man just 24 hours until the show. I am so darn excited. Hopefully I'll get some pics. I don't like taking pics at shows though because it takes you out of the moment.

I just got back from the 9 CoC show, and she left like a bat out of hell right after her set. She went through the audience right past me - whoosh! - and was gone. So no chance for an autograph or a picture for me. I hope you did better than I, shortylongpants. She killed, by the way. I've got both her albums and about half of her set was new material. She was unbelievably funny. At the end of the night, the last comic was naming all the other comics, saying "Let's hear it for this guy" (applause), "and this guy" (applause) "and how about Maria Bamford..." and the whole crowd went nuts. One problem - not enough Maria. I think the guy before her cut into her set. The Comedians of Comedy is such a lame name. They should call it "The Lovely And Talented Maria Bamford And Also Some Drunk Stoners Who Aren't Nearly As Funny And Make A Lot Of D*** Jokes Show".

She has a show in Ohio technically today and that is why she left early. I'm a bit bummed to not have met her but I really enjoyed the show. Maria never fails to make me laugh. Oh, I went to a nearby indian restaurant and smoked a hooka outside! Anyway, I drank 2 long islands at the club and I am shit faced. Bed time now!

Nuts faced? I was shit FACED. Unfortunately we're an hour and a half drive from the city and I think I lost my cell phone there. I fail to amaze myself with such responsible decisions I make upon taking my purse out in public places and removing stuff from it without putting it back in. I'm pretty hung over and I don't want to walk out to my friend's car and look for the part of my life that has gone missing. I just cut a lot of people out of my life by losing that essential electronic device

Welcome Lanebrain65!It's great to see all the new faces here! You wanna hear something worse than losing your cellphone?A year and a half ago,Maria did a show woth the CoC tour at the Recher Theater in Towson,Md.,right outside of Baltimore where i live.(Washington area sounds smarter if you know my town,and is close enough to be accurate)And,i saw the promo well in advance.It just said "Comedians of Comedy starring Patton Oswalt,Brian Posein and others",but i thought i heard that Maria was in that troupe but wasn't sure...it was early in that show's history.So,i never bought any available tickets!I even walked right by the front of the place to the mall that evening while they were all there. Anyway,when that episode premiered,i saw the clip of the theater marquee from across York rd. in front and well.."FACED" just wasn't good enough!
