Lots of people are in town visiting loved ones for the holidays; but
they apparently had to get out of the house last night because the Funny
Bone was packed for the show last night. Yeah, too bad I wasn't on the
list. Last night would have been an awesome time on stage. There were a
couple pros in the house, Danno Sullivan, Andi Smith and Greg Warren
specifically. Things got interesting before the show even started
though; I showed up early, as usual, to write and doodle. Paul Harris
and I are toying with the idea of doing a web comic; eventually comics
started showing up, but at least three of the first six people to show
up after me were new (to the St. Louis club). And somehow (I don't know
how) they all ended up asking ME for the info; when the show starts,
where's the meeting, and so and and so forth. I actually had a dream
last night that Behrens got mad at me for doing that; weird.
Anyway, I was just a little more than jealous that all of these new guys
got to have such a terrific crowd, especially since I wanted the
training for the contest tonight, but being the eternal freakin'
optimist that I am; I looked for a bright side. And here it is; Whenever
I have a 'bad show'; I appreciate the good ones all the more; whenever I
don't get on, I appreciate being on all the more. And so far, nothing is
worse that watching /other/ comics have a terrific audience while
knowing you AREN'T getting on... That's on the same level as just
bombing.
