Do not forget, this is TONIGHT:
++Master Pancake Video Jukeboxx II
The movie-mocking formula of Master Pancake gets applied to a whole mess of music videos by a whole mess of comedians, including me + Jara. I won’t tell you what video we’re doing, but it’s pretty great. TONIGHT 10PM @Alamo Ritz Downtown Tix here.

Stag Comedy @ ColdtowneMac Blake here. Do you want to see your the Mascot Wedding crew in person? Of course you do. I should shut-up with such a stupid question. Here’s what we’re going to be up to next month.
++Stag Comedy at Coldtowne Theater
We’re bringing our awesome Episode 3 show to Coldtowne Theater on Thursday nights. You’re going to have 3 chances to check it out this month. Seriously folks, this show gets better every time we do it. If you’ve already seen it, it’s worth $5 to see it in friendly + intimate confines of Coldtowne.
Feb 3, 10, 17 @ 10PM. Only $5!Tix+Info here.
++Master Pancake Theater: Robocop
Or Robot-Cop, as I call it. This is a show we’ve done only once two years ago. It went super great and we’ve been hoping to bring it back ever since. Wish granted!
Last two weekends in February, Fridays + Saturdays. Tix and times here.
++Stag Comedy @ Mi Casa es Su Teatro
Mi Casa es Su Teatro is a part of Frontera Fest where shows take place in people’s homes. Man, when is Austin ever gonna grow up and get a haircut, amirite? But seriously, this is gonna be a lot of fun. Expect a best-of show from the Stag Comedy crew.

++Master Pancake Video Jukeboxx II
The movie-mocking formula of Master Pancake gets applied to a whole mess of music videos by a whole mess of comedians, including me + Jara.

Some Golden Globes talk, comic strip deaths, a call from a man excited about a circus, the remake a movie game false-starts, and Mac gets guilted into giving away tickets to 30 Seconds to Mars. When we planned out this show we weren’t aiming for mean-spirited, but…

Hey dudes. Did you know the Mascot Wedding Show podcast is available on iTunes? Did you? I hope so. I realized I never mentioned it here and wanted to rectify that. Check it out here.
++In other news, Chopper Dave Youmans’s band Expensive Shit, is going to appear on the Casual Victim Pile II release. Which is very cool. The first one was great.
++Mascot Wedding has a bunch of shows planned for next month, Master Pancake, Stag Comedy, Hot Property, and of course the ra-ra-radio. More about those later in the week.
