Comic takes a walk
That’s Brian Malis, standup comic from Atlanta, at an undisclosed location, somewhere along the Appalachian Trail. He writes:
The Appalachian Trail, whose origins date back to the early part of the 20th century, stretches from Springer Mtn. in Georgia to Mt. Katahdin in Maine, yes that’s right there is a state called Maine. The trail passes through fourteen states unveiling its 2,167 miles, for some reason the mileage changes every year. The topography varies from above 6,000 feet to just thirty feet above sea level. Completion of the Appalachian Trail, the A.T. for short (why does it have to be short?), takes between four to seven months. In my research, I’ve read that about 20 per cent of all the thru-hikers– a person that attempts to hike the trail from one terminus to the other inside of a calendar year– actually finish what they started. And I will start just after St. Patrick’s Day.
Check out Malis’ MySpace for more pics and to check his progress. He expects to finish some time next month.

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”
Our Book!
who cares?
To answer Stevefeelsfunny: A darn good question. Perhaps we can answer it this way: 1. People who aren’t assholes 2. We do. (And, after all, that’s all that really counts.) 3. People who have met Brian Malis or people who know people who have worked with or know Brian Malis (A rather large group by virtue of his doing comedy in Atlanta and his former positions at the Punchline in Atlanta) 4. Any regular reader of this magazine who know that we are keen to write about standup comics who are doing things that are out of the ordinary There you have it. We hope this satisfies your curiosity. And, henceforth, anyone who makes a comment on these pages who is mean or boneheaded, we request that you cease reading this magazine at once, as it pains us that you might be deriving any benefit from it in any way, shape or form. Thanks!
Last month I drove up to Vermont from Atlanta and while heading north on the Thruway in New York, experienced some very slow traffic, which was the result of about a dozen hikers standing the trail where it passes over the Thruway. I was bummed Brian wasn’t among them because it would have been a neat coincidence thing.Malis is a guy who we miss since he left the club, and a person who I miss personally because I really enjoyed his sense of humor. I am hoping he isn’t eaten by a bear while he is away so he can come on back and visit with us.
Malis sends along this, via MySpace:<>“I just found out that I contracted Lyme disease along my travels. Some might think that would be a downer for me, but I’m rather excited by the news, because for a while now I have felt completely indifferent to finishing.“To find out that it was all caused by a tick is uplifting and quite a relief, knowing that it was not yet another in a long line of “Ah, who fuckin cares?'”<>Keep going!
Haha, undisclosed…that’s MacAffee’s Knob in Virginia. It’s the best view on the trail 🙂
