Once you get used to gasping at Ms. O'Brien's latest trickery, groaning at any scene involving boring ol' Bates, or aww-ing over anything Daisy does or says, it's time to say goodbye again. But let's put wallowing on hold for now and instead take a musical journey through the evolution of the Crawley girls! (Note: Cora not included due to her being a bore).

Um, as long as she marries her cousin. Being a team player, she agrees to the arrangement, but then the Titanic sinks and, with it, the hopes of a comfortable life in the family home forever and ever. Everyone gets depressed and we all know the best remedy for depression is match-making! Since OkCupid was still in development in the early 1900s, her family assembled a list of men for her to try out. Mary was not amused. Shania can fill you in on the rest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Robyn: \"Call Your Girlfriend\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/F6ImxY6hnfA&w=530\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Season 2, Mary is in love with a different, non-dead cousin, who happens to be the new heir (convenient!). Problem is he has a new gal pal. Lavinia is everything Mary isn't: normal, level-headed, a ginger. Being the alpha female brat that she is, Mary spends the entire season pouting and pretending not to want to rip Lavinia's throat out. Despite everything going on around her at the time (World War I! Paralysis! Getting engaged to a Disney villain!), Mary stays on message: dump your lame girlfriend already.

Her parents pity her, her sisters think she's annoying, and boys don't think about her at all. So what anthem sums up poor Edith? Most songs by the Smiths or the Cure would do, but it's a couplet from Lykke Li's \"Sadness is a Blessing\" that really gets to the root of our favorite spinster-in-training: \"Sadness is my boyfriend. Oh, sadness, I'm your girl.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Bonnie Raitt: \"I Can't Make You Love Me\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/nW9Cu6GYqxo&w=530\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>World War I livens up poor Edith's sad existence. Downton Abbey becomes a convalescent home for wounded soldiers and she likes to hang out with them (their injuries hinder them from finding someone more interesting to talk to and Edith likes this). She also likes a disfigured burn victim who claims to be the dead Titanic cousin! She reads to him and he throws temper tantrums and breaks stuff for attention, which leads to hints of romance. But, like everything in Edith's life, things don't work out and he runs away. Bonnie Raitt's \"I Can't Make You Love Me\" captures the sadness that comes with never getting what you want and being dissed by someone who doesn't even have a face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>The Carpenters: \"Goodbye to Love\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/5LVfpGe3p4E&w=530\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few strike-outs, Edith finally finds happiness in an older disabled veteran and starts saying stuff like: \"Something happening in this house is actually about me!\" It doesn't take long for that Gypsy curse to stick it to poor Edith once again; this time, her fiance breaks up with her AT THE ALTAR! If this was Mary, she would have cut all her hair off and then thrown herself on some train tracks, but not Edith. This girl knows what defeat feels like and it feels like home. Who better to explain that feeling than the saddest singer ever, Karen Carpenter? Edith could have written \"Goodbye to Love\" herself, a song about giving up on love and moving onto more productive pursuits. \"So I've made my mind up, I must live my life alone and, though it's not the easy way, I guess I've always known.\" Who needs men, when you can start writing a feminist newspaper column?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>SYBIL CRAWLEY\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/15/crawley-girls-a-downton-abbey-mixtape/sybil/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1437\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1437 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/sybil.jpg\" alt=\"sybil\" width=\"600\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/sybil.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/sybil-400x282.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Joan Jett: \"Bad Reputation\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/YB-xCM2WZ-o&w=530\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of feminism, Sybil is the resident troublemaker of the bunch. She wants to vote. She wants to learn how to cook. She treats the servants like human beings. And the coup de grace, she loves a good pair of harem pants and isn't afraid to show it. Her family is outraged by her whole women-can-do-things-too attitude and they warn her about what people might think or say about her.

In her free time, she almost kisses the Irish chauffeur a bunch, like that \"Kiss the Girl\" rowboat scene from \u003cem>The Little Mermaid\u003c/em> on repeat. They eventually get around to tongue wrestling, which leads to taking off into the night, family feuds, wedding bells and getting knocked up. Throughout this whole process, her father huffs and puffs, threatens to disown her, and is generally a snob and a half. Good-natured Sybil pleads for some understanding and acceptance without much luck.

Everyone gets depressed and we all know the best remedy for depression is match-making!

But, like everything in Edith's life, things don't work out and he runs away.

If this was Mary, she would have cut all her hair off and then thrown herself on some train tracks, but not Edith. This girl knows what defeat feels like and it feels like home. Who better to explain that feeling than the saddest singer ever, Karen Carpenter?

The waiter said \"It'll cost you,\" and I asked, \"How much?\" and the next thing you know I was slipping a ten into some guy's palm and we were right next to the sound guy, close enough to make eye contact with Rob Corddry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>is probably the show I care least about on the list of shows that had panels last weekend, but that's just because \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are two of my favorite shows of all-time ever. So it was still really great. The panel, which included Rob Huebel, Lake Bell, Erinn Hayes, (getting drunker but in a fun way) Ken Marino and Beth Dover as well as the aforementioned Rob Corddry, was moderated by David Wain, the director of \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>as well as about a million other things I love like \u003cem>Wet Hot American Summer\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Role Models,\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Stella\u003c/em>. Also, because all these things are connected and it is clear all these people are friends, David Wain once directed an episode of \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>and he was actually in the audience for the earlier \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Unlike the earlier panel, mostly everyone on the \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>panel was a little drunk, which gave the whole thing a nice, friendly, sloppy feeling. The highlights of the night were: a) the viewing of \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/46795889\" target=\"_blank\">a promo for the show which started out as a blood drive PSA and ended in a slo-mo good-time blood fight\u003c/a> and b) the moment when I asked David Wain during the Q&A why he wasn't on screen more and he said, \"I will be in the fifth season.\" When I for some reason said, \"Oh, I don't have a TV,\" the whole panel started screaming at me. At one point, Erinn Hayes said to the crowd: \"This girl doesn't even have a TV and yet she paid to get in here?!\" and I said: \"Actually I didn't pay.\" The cast really lost it then and Erinn Hayes pointed to the door and said: \"GET OUT\" while Rob Corddry mouthed \"I'm sorry.\" It was the most fun I've had getting yelled at probably ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>Burning Love\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/vkqq0kjjbk/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1046\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1046 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg\" alt=\"VkqQ0kjJBk\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg 500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven't watched \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://screen.yahoo.com/burning-love/\" target=\"_blank\">Burning Love\u003c/a> \u003c/em>yet, you are doing something wrong. It's a web series that actually works, a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor \u003c/em>franchise or more accurately the \"Next week, on \u003cem>The Bachelor\u003c/em>...\" segments that air at the end of every episode. Basically: \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>is really short and it stars a bunch of your favorite comedians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the third panel I saw at Cobb's. The show was over-booked so I was only able to get one ticket, but I bribed the same waiter for the same seat and this time instead of making eye contact with Rob Corddry, I was gazing into the eyes of Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr. Or at least I was trying to. This was the largest panel and it included director and co-creator Ken Marino (who was drinking another beer, potentially to deal with his hangover from Saturday) (I saw so much Ken Marino this weekend I kind of think he's my friend now), writer and co-creator (and Ken's wife) Erica Oyama, host Michael Ian Black, executive producer Jonathan Stern, and series stars June Diane Raphael, Beth Dover, Carla Gallo, Rob Huebel, Natasha Leggero, Joe Lo Truglio, Paul Scheer and Janet Varney plus, like I said, Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cstrong>Aside for super fans only:\u003c/strong> The cross-pollination was getting a little bananas at this point. June Diane Raphael had been in the audience at \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>too and Martin Starr and Ryan Hansen were in that panel because, well, they starred in \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em>. The moderator of the panel was Paul Scheer, who is a contestant on \u003cem>Burning Love S\u003c/em>eason Two and was a guest star on \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>as well as the moderator of\u003cem> \u003c/em>Saturday's \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Plus I swear he was wearing the exact same Nike's as David Wain was on Saturday. But ANYWAY.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>panel started with a preview of the second season, in which once-spurned June Diane Raphael is now the bachelorette. The show premieres on the internet on Valentine's Day, but those of us in the audience got to see the first two episodes. I won't give any spoilers but, as already known, Ryan Hansen is a dreamboat, Martin Starr is one of my top 5 favorite people I have never met and Colin Hanks looks like he's perfect as a \"lifestyle consultant.\" It's going to be an awesome season. We also got to see a very quick sneak peek of Season 3 which is a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor Pad \u003c/em>where former contestants of \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are competing in teams for $900. Michael Ian Black wears a crop top. So it's definitely going to be a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the panel, Paul Scheer scoured the crowd for single ladies for a live version on \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>called \u003cem>Quick Burn\u003c/em>. Unfortunately, the reason I gave for being worthy of wife-hood (\"I can skateboard a little\") was not as popular with the crowd as \"I'm a dancer\" from Krystin with a \"K\" and a \"y\" so I did not find my true love on stage at Cobb's on Sunday. But a girl named Krystin (?) and a boy named Jeremy (?) did. Or at least they pledged to live happily ever after, after a lightning elimination process directed by Michael Ian Black. The whole thing was pretty magical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

While I like \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8HKRTavM0&feature=share&list=UU1R9fG_iKqvt9FIhEQH9nTA\" target=\"_blank\">their stuff\u003c/a>, I wasn't convinced I would be experiencing anything new by going to their stage show. Guess who was the most wrong of all the wrong people? ME. Garfunkel and Oates was not only the highlight of Sketchfest, they were the highlight of February and the highlight of comedy that I've ever seen, which is pretty amazing since I was so far back I couldn't actually see them. On the walk back to our neighborhood Sunday night with my friends Drew (who took the above picture) and Audrey (same Audrey who came with me to \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>and pretty much every other Sketchfest show I attended), we tried to figure out what was so transcendent about the show that made us break into an impromptu dance party while the Rickshaw Stop was getting cleared out and kept us smiling and laughing for hours after it was over. Here are some things we came up with (list-within-a-list!):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci are really trying to say something honest about the human experience. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We decided that Garkunel and Oates is like what feminism is really meant to be in that, yes, they are girls and the perspective they bring is that of two women in their early thirties, but they are being so honest and earnest, and in a way, so specific, their music is pretty accessible to anyone (though maybe not 12 year-olds...they are pretty explicit).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. They are self-aware in a disarming way.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garfunkel and Oates can talk about pretty much anything from accidentally pleasuring oneself during a go-cart race to the annoying attitude of pregnant women, because the people they are most critically aware of is themselves and what they are really concerned with is how they act in the world. This is especially apparent when they are on stage and you can see the difference between their in-song personas and the actual people joking around and talking to each other and interacting with hecklers on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They were totally present.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be easy for a group that is clearly so talented musically and has such a specific repertoire to phone the whole show in. But Riki and Kate seemed to be singing every song for the first time, laughing at their own jokes, occasionally making mistakes even. It was hilarious and wonderful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whew! So there you have it. Sketchfest 2013 is in the record books. For those of you who made it to the end, a special treat. Here is a picture of one of the weirder stand-up acts I've ever seen, Dragon Boy Suede who opened for Garfunkel and Oates:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1032px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/drew2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1050\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-1050 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg\" alt=\"drew2\" width=\"1032\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg 1032w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-400x233.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-800x467.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1032px) 100vw, 1032px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Drew Beck\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\n\u003c/p>\n",

It means you get to go through stages of Sketchfest. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/04/3-theories-i-am-developing-about-comedy-based-on-the-nerdist-podcast-sketchfest-2013/\" target=\"_blank\">Develop theories\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/01/27/sketchfest-2013-the-thrilling-adventure-hour/\" target=\"_blank\">Expand your understanding of the very genre of comedy itself.\u003c/a> See a lot of hilarious people you've only ever dreamed of seeing. \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/01/tig-notaro-chris-hardwick-and-more-at-nightlife-sketchfest-2013/\" target=\"_blank\">In a science museum.\u003c/a> It also means that the whole festival builds up momentum and excitement slowly but, like an avalanche or tsunami or something, really awesomely (awesome like in the geological sense of the word).

The highlights of the night were: a) the viewing of \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/46795889\" target=\"_blank\">a promo for the show which started out as a blood drive PSA and ended in a slo-mo good-time blood fight\u003c/a> and b) the moment when I asked David Wain during the Q&A why he wasn't on screen more and he said, \"I will be in the fifth season.\" When I for some reason said, \"Oh, I don't have a TV,\" the whole panel started screaming at me. At one point, Erinn Hayes said to the crowd: \"This girl doesn't even have a TV and yet she paid to get in here?!\" and I said: \"Actually I didn't pay.\" The cast really lost it then and Erinn Hayes pointed to the door and said: \"GET OUT\" while Rob Corddry mouthed \"I'm sorry.\" It was the most fun I've had getting yelled at probably ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>Burning Love\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/vkqq0kjjbk/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1046\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1046 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg\" alt=\"VkqQ0kjJBk\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk.jpg 500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/VkqQ0kjJBk-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you haven't watched \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://screen.yahoo.com/burning-love/\" target=\"_blank\">Burning Love\u003c/a> \u003c/em>yet, you are doing something wrong. It's a web series that actually works, a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor \u003c/em>franchise or more accurately the \"Next week, on \u003cem>The Bachelor\u003c/em>...\" segments that air at the end of every episode. Basically: \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>is really short and it stars a bunch of your favorite comedians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the third panel I saw at Cobb's. The show was over-booked so I was only able to get one ticket, but I bribed the same waiter for the same seat and this time instead of making eye contact with Rob Corddry, I was gazing into the eyes of Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr. Or at least I was trying to. This was the largest panel and it included director and co-creator Ken Marino (who was drinking another beer, potentially to deal with his hangover from Saturday) (I saw so much Ken Marino this weekend I kind of think he's my friend now), writer and co-creator (and Ken's wife) Erica Oyama, host Michael Ian Black, executive producer Jonathan Stern, and series stars June Diane Raphael, Beth Dover, Carla Gallo, Rob Huebel, Natasha Leggero, Joe Lo Truglio, Paul Scheer and Janet Varney plus, like I said, Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cstrong>Aside for super fans only:\u003c/strong> The cross-pollination was getting a little bananas at this point. June Diane Raphael had been in the audience at \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>too and Martin Starr and Ryan Hansen were in that panel because, well, they starred in \u003cem>Party Down\u003c/em>. The moderator of the panel was Paul Scheer, who is a contestant on \u003cem>Burning Love S\u003c/em>eason Two and was a guest star on \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>as well as the moderator of\u003cem> \u003c/em>Saturday's \u003cem>Party Down \u003c/em>panel. Plus I swear he was wearing the exact same Nike's as David Wain was on Saturday. But ANYWAY.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>panel started with a preview of the second season, in which once-spurned June Diane Raphael is now the bachelorette. The show premieres on the internet on Valentine's Day, but those of us in the audience got to see the first two episodes. I won't give any spoilers but, as already known, Ryan Hansen is a dreamboat, Martin Starr is one of my top 5 favorite people I have never met and Colin Hanks looks like he's perfect as a \"lifestyle consultant.\" It's going to be an awesome season. We also got to see a very quick sneak peek of Season 3 which is a take-off on \u003cem>The Bachelor Pad \u003c/em>where former contestants of \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>are competing in teams for $900. Michael Ian Black wears a crop top. So it's definitely going to be a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the panel, Paul Scheer scoured the crowd for single ladies for a live version on \u003cem>Burning Love \u003c/em>called \u003cem>Quick Burn\u003c/em>. Unfortunately, the reason I gave for being worthy of wife-hood (\"I can skateboard a little\") was not as popular with the crowd as \"I'm a dancer\" from Krystin with a \"K\" and a \"y\" so I did not find my true love on stage at Cobb's on Sunday. But a girl named Krystin (?) and a boy named Jeremy (?) did. Or at least they pledged to live happily ever after, after a lightning elimination process directed by Michael Ian Black. The whole thing was pretty magical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

While I like \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8HKRTavM0&feature=share&list=UU1R9fG_iKqvt9FIhEQH9nTA\" target=\"_blank\">their stuff\u003c/a>, I wasn't convinced I would be experiencing anything new by going to their stage show. Guess who was the most wrong of all the wrong people? ME. Garfunkel and Oates was not only the highlight of Sketchfest, they were the highlight of February and the highlight of comedy that I've ever seen, which is pretty amazing since I was so far back I couldn't actually see them. On the walk back to our neighborhood Sunday night with my friends Drew (who took the above picture) and Audrey (same Audrey who came with me to \u003cem>Childrens Hospital \u003c/em>and pretty much every other Sketchfest show I attended), we tried to figure out what was so transcendent about the show that made us break into an impromptu dance party while the Rickshaw Stop was getting cleared out and kept us smiling and laughing for hours after it was over. Here are some things we came up with (list-within-a-list!):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci are really trying to say something honest about the human experience. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We decided that Garkunel and Oates is like what feminism is really meant to be in that, yes, they are girls and the perspective they bring is that of two women in their early thirties, but they are being so honest and earnest, and in a way, so specific, their music is pretty accessible to anyone (though maybe not 12 year-olds...they are pretty explicit).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. They are self-aware in a disarming way.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garfunkel and Oates can talk about pretty much anything from accidentally pleasuring oneself during a go-cart race to the annoying attitude of pregnant women, because the people they are most critically aware of is themselves and what they are really concerned with is how they act in the world. This is especially apparent when they are on stage and you can see the difference between their in-song personas and the actual people joking around and talking to each other and interacting with hecklers on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They were totally present.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be easy for a group that is clearly so talented musically and has such a specific repertoire to phone the whole show in. But Riki and Kate seemed to be singing every song for the first time, laughing at their own jokes, occasionally making mistakes even. It was hilarious and wonderful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whew! So there you have it. Sketchfest 2013 is in the record books. For those of you who made it to the end, a special treat. Here is a picture of one of the weirder stand-up acts I've ever seen, Dragon Boy Suede who opened for Garfunkel and Oates:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1032px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/02/11/party-down-childrens-hospital-burning-love-and-garfunkel-and-oates-my-epic-closing-weekend-at-sketchfest-2013/drew2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1050\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-1050 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg\" alt=\"drew2\" width=\"1032\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2.jpg 1032w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-400x233.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/02/drew2-800x467.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1032px) 100vw, 1032px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Drew Beck\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
