The hilarious, winsomely enterprising, and soon to be caption-contest-contributing cartoonist Matt Diffee will be jokin' and playin' at Pete's Candy Store Friday (as in tomorrow) at 9, along with Andy Friedman and the Other Failures. It's hard to go wrong at Pete's, and if you didn't get to hear Diffee and friends' jaunty, tuneful Dougless Trio at the New Yorker Festival, why, I hope you're feeling lucky now. For free, yet! As Diffee noted at the festival, "We figure that among New Yorker cartoonist bluegrass bands, we're in the top five." At least.

Here's an interview with Diffee that I'm not sure I ever posted, but meant to; it's very entertaining.
