 the animals are pointless rituals and mindless superstitions."

"Process Media presents an Andy Kaufman tribute: DEAR ANDY KAUFMAN, I HATE YOUR GUTS!

The great provocateur Andy Kaufman died 25 years ago, and tonight we honor his legacy with the release of the new Process book Dear Andy Kauman, I Hate Your Guts! and an evening of rare and never-before-seen solid Kaufman gold pulled from the video archives of Lynne Margulies (Kaufman's girlfriend, director of the Kaufman doc I'm from Hollywood, and author of the book).

Margulies will present a treasure trove of rarities including recently unearthed footage from Kaufman's brief but illustrious career as "Intergender Wrestling Champion of the World," his legendary, never-before-seen performance at LA Improv's "Midnight Snacks" in 1975, and a video, allegedly made by a German film crew, of someone driving to the Kaufman family plot in New Jersey and exhuming Andy's corpse.

And, as a grand finale for the evening, none other than TONY CLIFTON has threatened to appear in his only West Coast performance for more than half a decade. Don't miss it!"
