I left my condo around 7:30pm in order to catch the 7:55 train to Laclede's Landing. And It took like 30 minutes to get there, and my return trip at the end of the evening was just about as bad. So I spent about 2 hours going to and from the Landing for 8 minutes on stage. It's a good thing I don't have anything better to do with my time...
I tried out my porn jokes last night, somewhere in the middle of my set and they got a decent responce; I think my Ferrari joke is loosing momentum, which is dissapointing. I added a part, which I refer to as "Hungry Bum", but I doubt that it becomes part of a regular set. Which is sad, because I wanted to talk about a Hungry Bum breaking into my car to steal McNuggets. Then again, you can't always get what you want... but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need... Anyway, I had to split around 10:15 or so because I had to catch the next train back to the N. Hanley station (where I left my car). Some of the other comics have said that I am crazy for riding the MetroLink, and my ride back to my car almost confirmed their beliefs. When I got on the train, there were some unsavory characters on the car with me, but it didn't get scary until our fourth or fifth stop, when a couple hundred drunk, smelly cardinals fans got on the train with us. So for the next half hour (they all got off at my stop, how convenient) I got to listen to white-trash talk about whatever-it-is-that-white-trash-talk-about, also I saw a fat teenaged girl almost fall over every time the train started or stopped. After she almost fell, she'd grab the hand rail (which is useless once the train has reached a constant speed). Noticing she didn't have to hold on, she'd let go, just in time for the train to slow down (or speed up) again. Sadly I will be missing any Metrolink Shenanigans next week because I'll be in Columbia for the Dr. Zhivegas concert on 9th Street.
