Del Close, 1986

Posted on September 30, 2010 by Bob

This awesome interview with America’s greatest comedy guru just surfaced — and it was made during the period I studied with him in Chicago, on the very stage where he taught so many people (including me, to my great fortune) how to play together.

One heck of a time capsule.  Hat tip to BoingBoing.net.

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
