Book talks about Pryor

Okay, so as a new comic I'm looking for all the help I can get. So Wednesday I go to the bookstore, and as I peruse the isles I see a book written by none other then James Mendrinos, who I think is the Jim Mendrinos who posts here.

So I buy it (The Complete Idiot's Guide to Comedy Writing) and as I read it I get to a part where he talks about Mr. Pryor writing the greatest comedy bit ever, Freebasing, and analyzing why it's so great, and I think to myself "Yep, that's the same guy."

The book is surprisingly good. Not the same boring BS that most writing books have, plus it's very funny.

Jim, if you're reading, good job.

Sunset,
Jim told me he has deconstructed that freebase story and is continually blown-away by the brillilance of it! Go Jim!!! And needless to say, but say it anyway, Go RIchard!!!
