oh that is so great!!! i edited a couple minor typos, fwiw

interestingly, there is a GREAT article about wikipedia in the new yorker's most recent edition.

Holy fuck, Keith's Baws. That is the best Wikipedia edit possible. Big, big, bull balls to you! It has sources, it is generally unbiased, and it has actual, relevant info that makes Mark Yoshi-Moshi look like a douche. I loved the link to "Eight Fucking Writers" and how that will probably not get edited out because it is so applicable. Again: balls to you!

I can't take credit for the most recent change. I originally cleaned it up and added the controversy part and included the references. I came back to add the "Eight Fucking Writers" today, but seems someone else got there before me and added a "Criticism" part

Apparently someone else has been adding some really false claims, as another user removed stuff for being "uncited and irrelevant claims"

Best thing is, when you type Pacific Coast Hellway in google, the wikipedia entry comes in as 3rd.

I was just thinking about that. Have one of the regular contributors follow KATG, aka Susan Orlean style - going to a Clown gig, a Friday live show, sidebar in Summerset and a tour with Chemda…

A Show To Go
From The New Yorker
October 10th, 2006

Keith Malley has been living in New York for the last ten years. In that time he’s managed be a waiter, a security guard, a stand-up comedian, and a children’s party entertainer – a clown. Over the years he’s developed an ethos on comedy, performance, and what it means to “be real.” All of these experiences have contributed to his rise as one of the 21st century’s first new-media superstars.

On any given night – though it may be afternoon, morning, evening, or midnight - Keith and Chema Khalili make their way to their “studio,” located on the second floor of a large Queens co-op complex.

Outside their studio, just beyond the window, cars race along a nearby highway. Watching them drive by, you can’t help but wonder where they’re going. Each hour hundreds of cars stream by to destinations unknown, and you can’t help but draw an analogy between those destinations unknown and Keith and Chemda’s fan base. Within a few hours after recording a typical hour long session, Keith Malley will have put the finishing touches on their show and upload it to the internet where legions of fans eagerly await each episode of "Keith and The Girl".

Thanks. A quick toss together before a meeting. I tried to capture that "New Yorker" feel. I was gonna pad it out a few paragraphs and then reality took hold

Nicely done my friend. I dare say inspired.
