RIP, Mitch

Well, though a friend told us on Sunday, we didn't really believe it at the time. Mitch Hedberg is dead, from either a heart attack or a heroin overdose. Way to go out like a rock star, guy.
Mitch was hysterical -- his one liners always cracked us up, and though we tried to quote him at each other, it's impossible to replicate his delivery. "If you are walking down the street with a friend who is a tightrope artist, and he falls down, that is totally unacceptable." "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
We only got to see him twice when he came through Austin; but at least we did get to see him. What a loss.
