Yesterday Pete Lytal called around 3 in the afternoon. He said he needed to tape the feature performer in Fairview Heights that evening. Pete has borrowed my camera before. I found out the feature was Amy Anderson and got excited. I've seen Amy on Comedy Central and am a fan. I said I'd definately be out there. I arrive in time for the first show and there were two bachelorette parties, so Amy got a little derailed on stage (that is to say, she started making weiner jokes and other such bachelorette jokes). She actually told me from the stage that I could stop taping. I thought that was pretty funny. The second show went really well, and afterwards I met Amy's boyfriend, Kent Emmons, the Chairman/CEO of the upcoming National Lampoon Radio Network. He was pretty cool and in a plesant mood (which is always cool). Anyway, I refused payment for the taping, and so Amy gave me a signed CD (awesome). We exchanged cards and he told me to call his office, which I will do. He asked if I did any audio stuff, I think he was referring to skits or songs and such. I'm not entirely sure. A phone call or two should clear it up. In anycase, the Springfield contest is this week, and I've got a couple new jokes I want to try out. I don't think they are that strong yet, but doing them on stage may yield some ideas (either from me, or from someone else). That's all I got for now.
