Tonight I'm going to try something different; that is, I'm going to write my blog tonight. Usually I write these at work, but today my boss came over to my desk and I really didn't want them to see me goofing off on the internet at work. Anyway, tonight was the "Springfield Showdown" in Illinois. I was supposed to meet Joe Lehnig at my place this afternoon, but since I left early last night I was unable to clarify directions; plus my bosses kept me a little late, so I didn't end up meeting him. Therefore I was the only St. Louis guy to go. I met some guys who were there in March (I missed April) and Greg Larson who I met in Bloomington in February. Anyway, I had a much better time on stage, and when I get a sound card, I'm going to try to put up tonight's clip. Anyway, there was actually an audience, and 10 comedians in the contest. I went up 8th, following one of the two other bald guys). The results were kind of weird, though, as two people tied for third, two people tied for second (I tied with a lady called "Doctor T.") and the two other bald guys, Dan and Travis tied for first.
The drive home was nerve-wracking as it rained a ton and semi trucks seem to have a habit of passing my Corolla and throwing tons of water on my wind-shield. In any case, I made it home safe and in time for Futurama, and that's what matters...
