826NYC Superhero Fashion Show @ Symphony Space - 10.20.5
Last night, 826NYC unveiled its new spring Superhero fashion collection. The evening featured an all star lineup of Ed Helms, Sam Bee, Rob Corddry, Amy Sedaris, and many more.
NOTES
--It was announced that 826NYC is opening a satellite branch in Williamsburg.
--Someone was outside with a sign waiting for Faith Popcorn.
--Samantha Bee is pregnant.
--During the event, they passed buckets around and collectively panhandled an additional $2,340.
HIGHLIGHTS
--Leo Allen as Captain Guess Your Weight and Eugene Mirman as Robin with a Y. They were planted in the audience and went onstage for a bit about which is a better superpower, Invisibility or Flight. They provided some much needed comic relief.
--John Hodgman telling a masturbating joke in an audience with a bunch of kids.
DIDN'T CARE FOR
--The UNHELPFUL SLAG working for 826 who refused to let The Apiary peruse a program guide, claiming they're in limited supply and only for the people buying the 75 dollar seats. Then 5 minutes later, she hands one to someone in the 25 dollar seats. She was also dismissive in putting The Apiary in touch with 826's press contact by pointing and saying, "He's backstage, probably." Thanks for the professionalism.
--The enormous screen set stage right that blocked the audience's view.
--Sarah Vowell ripped off John Hodgman's Mexican wrestling mask and declared, "We're not clowns. We're writers." Is she remotely aware that pulling off someone's Mexican wrestling mask is symbolically, the single most dishonorable thing one could do in all of professional wrestling? That, coupled with her disarming statement--to put it in wrestling terms--was THE MOST SHOCKING HEEL TURN IN RECENT MEMORY.

And the second most dishonourable thing would be putting it back on (hello there, Rey Mysterio Jr.)

I saw a better heel turn a few weeks ago on RAW when Linda McMahon came out, delivered her lines using her inflexionless voice, and kicked Jim Ross in the junk.
