Combining Americans' love of video games with Japan's love of selling-Americans-video-games...

Last night a bunch of my coworkers came to my show, which was very cool of them. Because I brought more people, Jim Stout let me do more time, which helps because I need practice for the show I have tonight. I dropped my newly revised air hockey/pokemon joke, which went over better than I expected; and I didn't have to use my cheat sheet. Jim actually lit me and I have about 4 more bits to do, so I think I could probably do a semi-solid 12 / 13 minute set. I'm going to try tonight. One thing that was weird was there was a lady in the front row video taping the show. To my knowledge she wasn't a comic nor was she with any of us performing; I don't know whether or not she taped my set, but I hope she didn't. There is only one REAL reason to tape an amateur show, and that's to lift material off of someone and use it as your own. I'm pretty sure she was doing that, either for herself or for someone else. In any case, L. Mello had to ask her to stop at least three times, which is absurd; you shouldn't have to ask someone that many times to be respectful. I wasn't the only one to run long last night; I think Mark Lacer did 7 to 10, I know Matt Wolff did 7 to 10 and Jim Stout did nearly 20, so by 10pm, we were really only half way through the list; though everyone after that only got 5 minutes. I was driving Paul Harris, so I had to take him back to the Central West End to get his dog, Lucky, then over to a friend's house to drop off Lucky and pick up a guitar for tonight. I got to bed at 11:59pm, but I was on time to work, so I guess that's what counts. I'll be in Columbia tomorrow so I'll probably have to blog from Columbia College about the show tonight. Also I'm trying to get a spot light at the Déjà Vu with Louis Ramey and Brett Clawson. If I do, I'll definitely blog that.
