...serving up your daily dish.
Yeah, he sleeps with one of the Baristas, but that's not the only reason we love Rob Marzulli. The newcomer to the Rascals comedy scene -- part of a long line-up of new talent that performed last night -- is really funny. Marzulli gets special credit for being able to rally an audience that was almost beyond endurance, having sat through a (large)number of unfunny acts. Marzulli certainly has his finger on the local pulse, referring to Montclair as "latte sippin'-bicycle ridin'-knapsack wearin'-NPR listin'-Times readin'-Kerry votin'-house restorin'-wife swappin'" and "a town sophisticated enough for art museum, yet small enough so that everyone knows the roofing guy is doing some 'plumbing' work for a few desperate housewives." Another standout: comedian Teddy Love.

Is he related to Ray Marzulli of Bloomfield real estate fame?

I must confess, I've seen him do his schtick all over Manhattan -- Stand-Up New York, Gotham Comedy Club, The Comic Strip, Comedy Cellar -- and, sadly, in the bedroom. No, he's actually really good. ;)

Beware, Liz! As Bonnie Raitt used to sing-
"Women be wise
Keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man!"

I thought "The Barista" was an office, like the presidency, and that one addresses the office and not the actual person who happens to be keeping the chair warm. How can one sleep with an office? And besides, journalisticlly speaking, it's a bit distracting to have been given this knowledge, especially at the beginning of a story. Shouldn't it come closer to the end, like a disclaimer? (Full disclosure: he sleeps with The Barista.)

The Barista is more like royalty - the editorial "we" you now only see in "Talk of the Town" and in this ... uh, medium. (We, for one, disapprove of the word "blog" because it sounds like it has some relation to certain personal bodily functions.)
And now, we for one are off to tea for two.
