Thursday, Janine Brito, Ken JR. and I drove up to Bloomington, IL for their college night. Janine and Ken have done College night before and spoke very highly of it. The way it works is; the club has three to four 'openers' who do 5 to 6 minutes each. Then they have the headliner perform. Don Bassmore, the owner, serves as an MC and does some announcements and joke-jokes between the comedians. Don didn't do much in the way of joke-jokes before I went up, but mainly announced some drink specials, so I went up in front of a "cold" audience. Instead of opening with my standard [Make a Wish], I asked where the seniors were at. I started with my college material (which I did Tuesday) and went into my work/getting fired stuff. The audience was very cool, and I got some very decent laughs. What makes me the most proud is, as nervous and excited as I was on stage, I didn’t rush. And I knew at the time I wasn't. I got off stage feeling like a million dollars. Janine and Ken both had good sets (Janine asked me to bring up my video camera and tape her, so I taped myself, and Ken asked me tape him as well). I'll try to put my video up soon, as I haven't taped in a while... Anyway, after the show, we headed over to a bar called Flap Jacks or Flat Jacks, or something. It was cool, and afterwards, we got some college kids to let us crash in their living room; Janine and Ken got a loveseat and couch (respectively) and I got the floor. Needless to say, I slept like crap. But we got McDonald's breakfast the next morning, and drove home. It was an awesome road trip and I ended up taking a four hour nap Friday afternoon, which if you ask me is a pretty good way to start a weekend.
The kids fit their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
