I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but I'm pretty sure that I got
sucked into some sort of black-is-white, up-is-down alternate reality
Bizarro universe type thing. Let me explain: I've already explained how
a guy at Gene Lynn's called and wanted me to do a show Thursday the 18th
(today, infact). Well at 3-ish yesterday, I got a call from Jim Stout
who offered me a spot to MC 5 shows this weekend at the Comedy Forum
(including Thursday the 18th (still today) ). Since I am not a super
hero with the ability to actually exist in two places at once, I chose
the Comedy Forum gig, because it's what's called a block date (more than
one show in a block of time) and the Gene Lynn's show is an isolated
date. I feel like I might be flaking out or screwing over the guys at
Gene Lynns, but in my defense I asked that the guy call me back after he
looked at my website to make sure he still wanted me on his show. In
anycase, I hope I'm not burning any bridges here, but I've been hassling
the Forum to give me work for months.
Exhibit B; Attractive women-type folks hung out with me last night.
Seriously, this doesn't happen, if you want proof, dress up in camo and
follow me around on any given day. I karaoke'd last night until 2am (I
never stay up past 11, even on weekends, such actions are unusual for me
(unusual - synonym: bizzaro). Special thanks to Christina and Carrie for
hanging out and not complaining if I spelled their names wrong.
Exhibit C; The crowd at the Red Sea actually paid attention. I did
another 10 minute set, omitting my bachelor party jokes and some of my
roommate jokes. Also, (and I'd call this one of the signs of the
apocolypse) Cuttin' T at the Red Sea actually told jokes. Seriously he
was funny as hell. Loud as a harrier jet, but funny. He probably did 20
or more on stage, and he was pretty good.
In anycase, last night was a blast, and I'm probably going to be paying
for it today at work.
