The man. The myth. The Best of Fest (of the just past 2009 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival). The Guest Editor, Moshe Kasher. Himself. In the text.

Action Items:
- Buy his new (Rooftop Comedy produced) album, “Everyone You Know is Going to Die…And Then You Are” on iTunes.

- Those in the San Francisco-esque area attend Moshe’s CD release party for the aforementioned album at the SF Punch Line on July 7th.

With that said, here are his picks.
Blackass
It’s like he says, everybody needs a blackass sometimes.

Jeanne Donaldson
Jeanne talks about what a lot of us…let’s face it, ALL of us, go through. The constant habitual harassment faced by the butt virgins of the world from the buttfucker community. Bill Hicks shot and missed when he tried to approach Jeanne’s level of comedic honesty and social commentary. Move over Hicks, there’s a new legend in town.

Chris Schiappacasse – You’re a whore
Sometimes, music breaks through barriers and allows the “inner cynic” to let down its guard and just laugh. That’s what “you’re a whore” is to me. And let’s face it, you ARE a whore.

Kerosene
Kerosene used to take me with him on the road to the various Improvisations and Playboy clubs around the country just like Shecky Berman used to do for him. If anyone has influenced my style directly, it’s Kerosene. Watch a master at work and try to learn something.

Moshe Kasher – A new haircut
Frankly, this guy just sucks.

Because oral history sounds much cooler than primary drunken source.

It’s been a couple of days (a week anniversary since Aspen 09 occurred, to be precise) and after much soul searching, Twitter reviewing, photo looking, and piecing together hazy memories, I will attempt to bring you my account of what happened on those legendary three days that will live forever in myth. If you’d rather live Aspen through pictures, than words, feel free to check out our Facebook gallery or Flickr feed!

I dare you to try and read all of this, after the jump!

The plane we were supposed to take out of Denver was delayed for an hour. This effectively meant that we were to miss our connecting flight to Aspen. The next flight out of Aspen wasn’t until 9:30 at night. Annie and I decided to make the three hour drive in a rented Ford Explorer to Aspen.

Here is a photo of Annie’s reaction to making that drive:

We end up missing the first show (for an in-depth recap of last night’s show, check out Punchline Magazine coverage of our festival).

The semi-finals of the NCCC were a great success, and when all was said and done, Emerson from the East and University of Minnesota from the Midwest will be duking it out for the national title of America’s funniest college team this Saturday. And as always, you can check out the live stream on Saturday (6:45,p Mountain Time) over at the Rooftop Comedy Aspen page.

Also, after the after party, an impromptu rendition of Smashmouth’s All Star was sung by some of the college kids. Video hopefully to come soonish.

The next time you see me blog, I’ll be in Aspen, or in the Denver Aiport waiting for my connecting flight to Aspen. Either way, the time for Aspen is NOW!

Be sure to tune in to our live stream of the Festival, thanks to our friends over at Revision3! Peep the schedule for deets.

I’ll be tweeting on the ground at Aspen (@RooftopComedy), taking photos, blogging, and hopefully doing some stuff with Ustream. Hopefully.

The words, “stacked” and “card” come to mind when thinking about this year’s Aspen RooftopComedy Festival. The line-up has been officially announced, and a saunter to the official Aspen page at RooftopComedy will reveal who will be at the Wheeler Opera House this coming June 11 – 14. I’d name a few, but then I’d have to name them all. It’s only fair.

Voting for the Regional Rivalry Elimination round ends tomorrow at noon PST. And after that, cuts will be made. Will your favorite college make it to the next round? Do you want to stand on the sidelines as college comedy history is being written? I thought so.

http://www.rooftopcomedy.com/college/standup. Vote. Every five minutes.

And don’t forget to steal clips from us! Don’t worry, it’s cool, in fact we’re encouraging it, in fact stealing clips from us might net you a trip to Aspen for our Aspen RooftopComedy Festival!
