Just so people don't think I'm 100% lazy; I'm actually blogging about yesterday's comedy. Or lack thereof. Lately I've been waiting more than a day or two to put my thoughts on, er, paper. Anyway, it was raining last night. A lot. But comedy is comedy, and I try not to put anything in front of it; so I jumped in my Corolla, and drove to St. Charles. At one point, I remember going through a stop light and realizing only too late that it wasn't functional due to power outages. Luckily, no one hit my car with theirs. I really should pay more attention to driving, but, what can I say, I was rocking out to some DJ Funk, an album I heard Kevin Bozeman listening to when I worked with him and Pat Dixon in Fairview Heights. The CD is horrible, which is probably why I like it so much. But I digress. I got down to the historical Main Street in St. Charles and found it to be almost entirely without power. :(
So I called Clayton Champagne and asked about the situation. He confirmed no power and said there probably wouldn't be a show. So I went home, and played some Yohoho Puzzle Pirates to celebrate National Talk Like a Pirate Day.
I really wanted to get some stage time, because I want to take everything I've been working on for the past 3 months or so and do it in one set, and try to get it on audio. I'm hoping I can get about 6 to 7 minutes out of it, but that's probably very wishful thinking. Anyway, the Westport list isn't up while I type this, so I don't know if I'm up. Halloween's coming up, which means I should try out this Halloween joke I came up with during the Funny Bone workshop.
Easier said than done.
Yarrr.
