Were the midterms hard?

Last night I picked up Paul Harris in Westport and we drove into St. Charles to meet Bill Davis. The three of us were going to ride to New Haven where Joe was having a show at the Boondocker. We arrived and were eventually joined by Joe and Dano Sullivan. I kind of knew the show would be rough, last time I was in New Haven it was a hard show. I told Joe I would be glad to host knowing I'd "eat it" but hoping I'd get the crowd settled for some comedy. I did eat it, for about 12 minutes, but sadly the crowd wasn't ready for Joe when I called him up. Joe was on stage for about 4 or 5 minutes when he said "F&$% it" and got off. Paul was next, and thankfully he brought his guitar; it's hard to heckle a guy with a guitar (they'll just play on). Oh yeah, there was a heckler, and some people in the front weren't even facing the stage. Yeah, Thanks for coming out. Paul did well and did about 15 or so. Dano was next and made it 20-something minutes and bailed because of the audience. Then Bill Davis went up and did about a half hour. Sadly, Dano's screaming at the audience didn't get their attention, so Bill's more laid back approach wasn't very well recieved. All in all, it may have been one of the worst nights of comedy I've been privy to, however. I'm not upset I went however, I look at it like this, shows that horrible will make me appreciate my time on a real stage. As Tyler Durdan said in fight club, "Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life, his breakfast will taste better than any meal you or I have ever tasted!"
