Are the fires in SoCal out yet?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on October 1st, 2009

The fact that we have to ask ourselves the question means that it is possible that the big electronic media have grown weary of the story.

To answer the question: They’re 85 per cent contained.

So now it’s time for some folks to do the natural thing– call for “a federal investigation into what they say was a poor initial response to the blaze.” Of course! Perhaps a nice, fat lawsuit is in the future.

Others, however, figure it’s time to have a private show to honor the brave firefighters of Los Angeles. Which is precisely what Bruce Fine‘s Laugh Pack comedy club at the Airtel Plaza Hotel in Van Nuys is doing. Details are in here. Channel 4 is going to feature the show on the late news. (And Fritz Coleman is rumored to be showing up.)

Were our plane landing a bit sooner, we’d be there and we’d be doing some time. As it is, we will merely wish everyone well and tell as many people as possible to show up. (Which is why we posted this.)

We look forward to performing a the Laugh Pack clubs this weekend– Friday night in Hollywood and Saturday night in Van Nuys. Be there!
