Time Flies When You're Having Fun...
=====================================================
Yikes... Sorry, gang, but I've been buried in work these past few weeks. I was hoping to get permission to reprint an interview with Maria in this issue, but that hasn't materialized yet. But there are a couple of things that just can't wait, so....

Breaking News: Maria's new CD
=====================================================
Maria's agent reports her new Audio CD is officially on its way.
" We have closed the deal for Maria's first CD, 'The Burning Bridges Tour.'", according to Bruce Smith of Omnipop Talent. "The performance is already recorded. We'll keep you posted as to release dates."

When asked if this is strictly an audio CD or a video, he replied "No video. Just audio right now."

New Maria Bamford TV Appearance!
=====================================================
At last, the WORLD COMEDY TOUR 2003 that was taped several months ago in Australia is coming to Comedy Central this Friday night. It's been awhile since we've seen Maria do a new TV thing, so don't miss it!

Comedy Central -- Friday, October 17 -- 10 PM ET

NOTE: The repeat broadcast originally scheduled for Saturday is no longer on Comedy Central's schedule... so catch it Friday!

And then shoot an email out to Comedy Central after the show thanking them profusely for showing Maria and ask them why they don't produce more shows with her!

Oh, yes... brief appearances by Maria have just popped up on Comedy Central's schedule on 10/24 at 8:30 PM ET and 11/5 at 11:30 AM ET with different episodes of Comic Remix.

Maria's Back in Britain
=====================================================
As I write this, Maria is just now starting a six night appearance at the Brighton Comedy Festival in the UK. I'll keep an eye out on the UK press for any reviews, etc. and pass them on to you.

Video is On The Way
=====================================================
Maria promises her new video is on the way, it is just tied up in some "paperwork". So keep your eyes on her website and have your PayPal account ready. I'll make a big announcement when the video is released, too.

[Whoops... it's an audio CD, not a video. See "Breaking News" earlier in this newsletter. -- Eugene]

Birthday Bash Pix Coming Soon...
=====================================================
Thanks to the generosity of a truly SuperFan, I have a a few dozen negatives from Maria's birthday party in my grubby little mitts. I promise, promise, promise to scan them and put them on the website no later than this weekend with a BIG notice on the home page and chat board. Stay tuned!

Join Us Online!
=====================================================
In spite of her busy schedule, Maria popped into the chat board to say hello to everyone and tell us about her birthday party, her mother, and sundry other things. If you missed it, you can see her message in the thread "Maria's LA Birthday Party" under the "All Things Maria" section.

While you're at it... why not sign up and join the rest of us as we discuss the wonders of Maria Bamford? We'd love to see you there!

Your humble Webmaster and Maria fan,
Eugene
