In Memoriam: Greg Giraldo (1965-2010)


Today, I came across this article on EW.Com:
"Comedian Greg Giraldo — well-known for his work on such programs as Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil, several Comedy Central roasts, and NBC’s Last Comic Standing — has passed away. Both Comedy Central and NBC confirmed the comedian died Wednesday in a New Brunswick, N.J., hospital, just days after being hospitalized, reportedly for a prescription pill overdose"
I'm still in shock over this. We truly lost one of the best comedians of our time. Rest in peace, buddy.

In Memoriam: The Admiral Twin Drive-In Theatre (1951-2010)


Well, Drive-In fans, it is a sad day for us all. On Friday, September 2, 2010, the Admiral Twin Drive-In Theatre in Tulsa burned to the ground. The theatre had been around since 1951, and was heavily featured in the film "The Outsiders". It was a true symbol of Drive-In Cinema, and one which will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, old friend.
