UCB Summerstage: OMG you missed it

I hardly wanted to murder anybody* last night, which started out auspiciously VIP style at the Upright Citizens Brigade Summerstage show in Central Park.

Aziz Ansari told a great story about the most off the chain concert he's ever been to (R. Kelly, natch) and Todd Barry did a funny bit about myspace and stuck it to Snapple lady Wendy (who was really there!). And hosts Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel as the Central Park Park Rangers were ridick. One of my faves was new to me, Rebecca Drysale, whose singalong set was intended to make everyone else in Central Park think they were missing a historic Summerstage Best Concert Ever full of surprise guest appearances--i.e., when you hear about like Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop and David Bowie all showing up on stage at like TV on the Radio and having a gangbang for old times' sake. (Or here's a true one: Prince showed up unannounced at the Maceo Parker show in Prospect Park last week.) Rebecca also makes a 3-2-1 Contact reference in the contact section of her website! Yay for obscuro references! and Yay for UCB, whose annual Del Close Marathon is this weekend. Go!

After the show, we watched Road House on the BFS' Lower East Side roof, projected onto the brick wall of the building next door. There was a cool breeze as Swayze ripped out his opponent's throat with his bare hands, and all was right in New York. Oh Patrick, you so Swayze!
