Joe Lehnig called me and wanted to ride together to the Landing for the open mic at Laughs on the Landing. We agreed on 7:30, which meant he knocked on my door at 7:40. I drove like a mad man and we made it by the 8:15 'cut off'. I say 'cut off' because they're not real strict about it at "LL"1. I'm pretty particular about being prompt (ok, I hate being late), so we may have went a little fast.
There were even more guys from the Funny Bone there this time around, which is pretty cool, Chad Huff, Tom Milster Paul Harris, Matt Wolff, Anthony Joplin, and Ken Jr. were all there, (and Joe, of course).
Anyway, my set was lot of fun last night, I think I brought some decent excitment to the stage and projected pretty well considering the PA system isn't the best. Also, my make-a-wish line was well received. If a crowd doesn't like that line, usually they're not going to enjoy my fat jokes.
LL'll2 be having auditions for their improv troup next Wednesday before the open mic. I had briefly entertained the notion of trying out, after all, I would like to gain some improv skills on stage. I'm usually concentrating too hard on stage to really be creative, and I'd like to get away from that, but I'm not sure if I have the time/effort to devote to a "second job". Plus, you know, I'd feel bad having to quit when I blow up and become rich and famous.3

1. "LL": My new abbriation for "Laughs on the Landing". If you don't like it, too bad.
2. "LL'll": Contraction for the phrase "LL will".
3. Just let me have my delusions, ok?
