One has to be a contrarian to live and stay in Michigan these days. Michiganders are the kind of people who feel the winter wind, clench their teeth and fists and walk faster into the breeze. And that's why I love Michael Moore's latest idea: a comedy festival in snowy Northern Michigan...in February.
This is just the latest of Michael Moore's great ideas. Moore brought a summertime film festival to Traverse City that attracts thousands of visitors and millions of dollars to the state. Moore spearheaded the rehab of an historic local theater.
And now he and his friend, Jeff Garlin, have invited their favorite comedian-friends to the Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival this Feb. 19th-21st.
