Last night at LL, I destroyed my cardinal rule. And I couldn't be happier. I've listened to my set a couple times, and I think it went alright.

Tonight I drove down to Cafe Louis on Washington Ave. Nick Kousemano was supposed to be hosting a show down there, and after the fun I had at Maggie O'Briens, I figured it'd be cool.

Nick wanted me to host and run the thing, but I wasn't really feeling it, so I bailed. I told the guy there (Tom?) that he probably wasn't going to have a show due to no crowd and no comedians. I'm not sure if he was upset with that or not.
Normally that'd kind of annoy me, but I've had a decent time of comedy this week, so O'll just chalk that up to Equivalent Exchange.
