Bill Maher has had some recent guests on his show Real Time with Bill Maher who are the
kind of people you’d like to take on vacation with you. They would be great
company and it would be non-stop laughter. If they have a previous engagement that
keeps them from joining you, take their books instead.
Take Chris Hardwick’s The Nerdist
Way: How to Reach the Next Level (In Real Life) on vacation with you. Chris is a
comedian, actor, screenwriter, musician,
podcaster, television host for @Midnight
on Comedy Central (and Talking Bad
and Taking Dead).
Chris is founder of Nerdist Industries, a company dedicated to creating multi-platform content for Nerds. He takes nerdism to the ultimate level.
He has a lot
of manic energy, but he’s so funny, so delightful, so affable, you won’t want to
put the book down. Chris calls himself a "creative obsessive." If Chris is a nerd, bring on the nerds. It’s
time to party on.
John Waters recently returned from a vacation of sort. He hitch-hiked
across the United States. Three thousand miles of hitch hiking might not be my
idea of fun, but reading about John’s adventures certainly is. John Waters
is a film director, screenwriter, actor, stand-up comedian, journalist,
visual artist, art collector, and author of Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America.
John stuck his thumb out in front of his house and traveled across the
country—it took him 21 rides and nine days. Waters said,
“You can’t get too comfortable. It hurts your street cred.” Waters also said, “Hitchhiking is like phone
sex. The more you talk, the further he’ll take you. I’m sure John was delight
company for the people who gave him rides as he will be for you when you read
his book.
Another guest was Sandra
Tsing Loh, a writer, actress, and radio
personality who is the author of The
Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones and Mother
on Fire: A True Motherf%#$@ Story About Parenting! She was a whirlwind of energy as she ranted
about the situation of women in mid-life. Her raging hormones make her a diva
of high voltage humor about women in mid-life going trough menopause. Get yourself a
frozen margarita and hang on for dear life when you spend some time with Sandra’s
book.
Have a great vacation even if it is only a staycation.
Thank you for liking, sharing and tweeting this post.
