Day 36: The Variety Society is still missing in action. For over a month there has been no sighting of the wayward late night show.
Without them, there is a hole in this community. Local musical acts and sketch comedy groups, bereft of a late night program to perform on, have resorted to selling their bodies on stree tcorners (do we have a source on that?). It is a sad state of affairs.

But now several VarSoc members have confirmed they will be attending a screening of "Roomies", a short film submitted to this year's 48 Hour Film Project.
The time: Wednesday, June 22nd, 7:00 PM.
The place: Lumiere theater, 1572 California Street, San Francisco.
The cheese: Roquefort.
The Baldwin: Billy (disclaimer: Billy Baldwin may not be in attendance. Substitute Baldwins are on-call.)
"Roomies" stars Variety Society announcer and official sidekick Erik Braa and Variety Society executive producer Sam Jack, was directed by Variety Society director Colin Murray, and was written by Variety Society head writer Justin LaneLutter, and also by that other guy who writes some stuff sometimes.
Who is that guy anyway? You know, long hair, inappropriate sense of humor, kinda creepy, who am I thinking of?
Oh yeah, Russell Brand.
Will the Variety Society really be in attendance? Will the film provide any insight as to the whereabouts of our missing late night show? Will the circle be unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by?
One more: By and by.
Okay, we made quota. Good, good.
