"The Humour Mill"

Nic and I brought in the New Year with a laugh (literally) in true New York style, at the Gotham Comedy Club (http://www.gothamcomedyclub.com/). A great venue with a top atmosphere and fine, fine comedic acts. One thing that we've both noticed (being such connoisseurs of comedy)...is that many of the comedians in town are either Jewish, claim to be Jewish (huh?) or use Jewish references in their material (uh-huh). Of course, there are also many hilarious African-American, Italian-American and XX, YY, ZZ,-American comics (phew all the PC naming is wearing me out)....anyways, just interesting to note I thought.

New Year's Day is probably the quietest day in the city, with the noise emanating from the streets set down to 'Partially-Deaf'....- missing my tinnitus already- ...but its quite strange to see 6th, 7th and 8th avenues relatively empty of traffic, kinda like the scene at the beginning of Vanilla Sky, although none of the drivers have Tom Cruise's smug look...
