Later, Mitch

Well, the first comedian I had an active interest in has passed away.

Mitch Hedberg, a Minnesota-born comedian who worked in nightclubs, college campuses, television and film in a wide-ranging career, and who struggled with drugs and alcohol, died in New Jersey, his family said. He was 37.

Just so you know, the drug abuse rumors are just rumors right now. He had a prior heart condition, and that may very well be the cause. I don't have any particularly poignant words to say here, so I'll just leave you with this...

"I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."
