MITCH HEDBERG 1968-2005

An overly exuberant fan, namely yours truly, yelped "KOALA BEAR!!!" as Mitch began to wind down his set at a sold-out show at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas. Hedberg sputtered, smiled and pointed into the darkness of the audience crowd:

"This is dedicated to that guy: My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever! Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter! And I don't want 'em to, you know? I'm like, 'Hey, hold on, fellas! Let me hold one of you -- and feed you a leaf.' Koala bears are so fucking cute. Why do they have to be so far away from me!?!"

Thanks again, Mitch, you're already missed.
