Hi,

We've been busy bees over here, so let's get right to it with our RooftopComedy February Newsletter Extravaganza 2008!

Our tribute to Mitch Hedberg
He saw the world through rose-colored glasses; we saw ours brightened by his whimsical and surreal humor. RooftopComedy is proud to present an exclusive tribute to Mitch Hedberg with new, never-before-seen clips every Monday (until we run out) honoring of one of the most memorable comic talents of recent times.

Valentine's Day, Schmalentine's Day
Whether or not Cupid's arrow has poked you lately, it's hard to avoid the schmoopiness of Valentine's Day. Luckily, Lady Roz G has some valuable advice on what to give your sweetie/bootie call this Thursday, while Keith Manning tells us the going exchange rate for V-Day presents. And if your love life isn't already laughable, check out Comedy Walk for free tix to the Huge Valentine's Day Comedy show in LA. Who knew your dates could get even cheaper??

It's time to gong in the Chinese New Year!
We kick off the Year of the Rat with our newest feature comedy page highlighting comics of the Asian persuasion. With no added MSG, you can treat yourself to an unlimited serving of Pork Fried Laughter.

Funny College Co-eds Gone Wild
Dust off your funnel cuz we're going back to cooooolllleeggee! This spring we head to 32 schools nationwide to find the funniest college comedians and short-film makers during the inaugural 2008 RooftopComedy National College Comedy Competition. The action kicks off this Friday, Feb 15th at Harvard, with finals at the Aspen Comedy Festival in May. To follow the action and talk some smack, check it out here.

And last but not least...
Roofies for everyone!
Our mascot Roofie is now available as an iPhone icon — download him here by clicking "Add to Home Screen". Voila! You just became even cooler than when you just had a regular iPhone.

That's it for us folks. Happy February!

XOXOLOL,

Your let's-be-more-than-friends at Rooftop
