Last night, Matt Wolff and I went over to the City Improve in Union Station, where we had heard there was a show. We arrived around 7, expecting it to be open; we were going to ask around and see what was up, and probably work on some jokes. It was closed, and remained closed until around 8pm, when a couple bartenders showed up. They offered no useful info whatsoever, so Matt and I continued to wait the the hallway outside the club. Eventually a guy who calls himself "Shuttin' It Down", a guy carrying DJ equipment and two guys (I later learned their names were Lorenzo and Jay) showed up. Matt and I went in a worked on some jokes, and I found a way to shorten one of mine, which kind of makes thetrip worth it, even though no audience showed up. Obviously there wasn't a show, but I did learn from Lorenzo that the Spot and another place might be good to check out. The other place sounded like a musical open mic, but those can be cool to do comedy at, I did do the Music Café once or twice in Columbia). Maybe I could even bust out the kazoo. That would be kind of crazy. Mental note; must get accoustic guitar case from room in Mexico... Today I am going to call Gene Lynn's and see what's up there tonight; even if I don't get on, it'd be nice to check the place out.
