Paul Ogata's recollections of Aspen

Paul Ogata has turned in a Big Move about his Aspen experience:

“Early Saturday afternoon, I opted to pass on the USCAF in favor of seeing “the other” festival, the Aspen Laundromat Comedy Festival. Unfortunately, I learned after getting there that Adam Gropman was not in the house as he returned to L.A. the previous day. Well, two out of three objectives met isn’t a bad percentage, right? All was not lost however, as I was treated to a rocking show by the craziest bunch of mother-effers there ever was. Big props to Christy Murphy for having the ovarios de cobre amarillo to set it all up. And kudos to Sunshine Laundromat owner Richard Winn for buying into such a bizarre concept. When all was said and done, Winn commented on how impressed he was and he even began plotting for the Second Annual ALCF. Performing to a standing room only laundromat crowd (there were only six chairs) were Reutter, Ferrell, Murphy, Brett Gilbert, Vance Sanders, Nosmo King, Damon Epps and Marty Laquidaro. In keeping with the laundry-theme, the comics even kept it clean.”
