Tinkling

Demetri Martin's Overhead Comedy, Part 1

David Garza It had been a while, so Gothamist went to Tinkle on Sunday (we also needed a little comedy after Saturday night). Demetri Martin continued his use of visual aids: This time, he rocked out the overhead projector to excellent effect. Fred Armisen pulled up one of our friends to the stage for no real reason - we guess it's some sort of art comedy he's working on. Jessi Klein and Andy Blitz rounded out the comedy portion of the evening - but that doesn't include Jon Benjamin's in-depth investigation about girl band, Skye. The highlight, though, was David Garza, an Austin singer-songwriter, whose guitar playing was beautiful and witty lyrics were infectious.

Also, Todd Barry mentioned that Vanilla Ice was on his plane for Florida. He wondered why Vanilla Ice was in coach. That's just like us, wondering why Spike Lee was in coach on the way to Atlanta.

Can anyone get me Jessi's email?

He played on campus one year when I was in college and was definately a hit. Funny thing was he opened for Fastball, right after they had that hit "The Way" and more people showed up for Garza than Fastball, the supposed top twenty band.

Marc Maron was a no show, so his attractive level has dipped. He will need to show himself in New York to be redeemed. Perhaps he'll make it for the Tinkle Booze Cruise.

I have to agree with Jen about David (pronounced Da-vide) Garza being a total highlight and heartbreaker. He has a show at Mercury Lounge on Wednesday, June 4.
