I tried to do this yesterday, but I felt very uninspired sitting in front of my computer after my roadtrip to Springfield. I think I may be conditioning myself to where I only 'blog' well when I'm at work. Stupid Pavlov.
This weekend I opened for Mike Armstrong Mike's a former police officer from Kentucky and one of the nicest/craziest people I've ever met. He works clean also, which was really cool. I told him about my responce to the idea that working clean is a limitation, which is: "Working clean is like running with weights around your ankles, it may be harder, but it sure makes you a better runner". The shows at the Funnybone in Springfield were fun. First show friday was great, I got it on tape, but wasn't zoomed in enough for my liking. I did put it up on the media page in Mp3 format, though. Second show friday threw me a bit, as I changed up the order of my set and had to look at my cheat sheet twice. That really bugs me, as I haven't had to do that in a very long time, even with new stuff. Friday night, I hung around Breaktime (the FunnyBone's bar/dancefloor area) with Don Bassford, Jr ("Junior"). Special thanks to Anita and Nikki for teaching me how to dance.
Saturday Mike and I grabbed breakfast and bummed around the mall. I got a tie clip! We joked around a lot, and he kept saying I should use stuff on stage, and finally convinced me to add a couple things, which I did Saturday second show. Then I grabbed some lunch with Anita and watched some Jamie Foxx standup, which was clever but surprisingly dirty. I don't know why that surprises me, but it does. I went running around 5, showered and showed up at the club. Both saturday shows were fun, and I felt I had a really good set second show. I'll probably be posting that to the media page when I get my video software back on my computer. One thing I wouljd like to mention is that the crowds in Springfield were very cool, after the show they came up, complimented me and were very appreciative, even after the second show Friday, where I felt I didn't have the greatest of sets...
Anyway the whole weekend was awesome, and I made it home in one piece. Anyway, now it's 8:36am and I need coffee. There's nothing funny about that so...
