Happy happy, new new

Happy New Year, everyone: Let us boldly look forward to this clump of 365 days. 2010—the crappy movie sequel, not the year—was the first film I saw in a theater without an adult taking me, so this year has special significance for me, of course; Zack Greenfield and I insisted on sitting in the front row, and our necks really fucking hurt by the end.

But more importantly, 2010—the year, not the crappy movie sequel—will be the biggest, quizziest annum yet. We have a lot on tap, including our return to (Le) Poisson Rouge this Monday, our premiere show in Boston on January 28 (the first of many, we hope), and—finally!—the birth of the Big Quiz Thing TV show (possibly, let us all pray). Plus, much more that I am not at liberty to discuss at the moment, but I swear I'm not bullshitting here.

And did you know that 2010 will be the International Year of Biodiversity? And that the 1990 video game Street Fighter 2010 will finally become a reality? So many reasons to be optimistic, friends.
