It's Friday and I'm just now getting around to writing about Wednesday (I've been too busy at work to blog, this job's getting in the way of my goofing off...). Anyway the show at LL was pretty cool. I mean the crowd was larger than normal, and because the Forum was having it's open mic, there were fewer comics. Usually when I have a good set at the Bone, I follow it up with a lesser-quality set somewhere else. Not Wednesday. I brought the confidence, brought the mic-control and brought the funny. To pay homage to Kirsten Dunst, I brought "it". I did the single material again, but forgot one new bit I wanted to do. Pete Lytal and I had talked about my going skiing in February, so I did my ski/ride jokes, and my snowboard pants bit went over. I wasn't even plannig on doing it before the show started, and it came out with new phrasing, and it worked well. Anyway, at the end of the night (I actually stayed to the end) they let this drunk guy named Ed up. He did about 3 minutes of what I'll call, non-funny non-jokes. Strangely enough, though, the guy had good mic control. He held it right, was audible (except for the slurring) and kept his voice at a reasonable volume level. Ken called up the performers who had good sets (Nikki Glacer, Tom Shelton, drunk guy Ed, and two others that escape my memory) and awarded the 25 semolians to Nikki Glacer.
Laughs next week will be my first chance to get on stage, as I am going out of town Sunday for a float-trip vacation with my family and won't be back until Wednesday. Since I'll be in the "Great" out doors, chances are I won't be blogging anything...
