This weekend I was in Bloomington, IL at the Funnybone opening for Jason Dixon and I had a complete blast. I actually saw Jason a while back at the Aspen auditions, he's very funny and super nice. The drive down was kind of stressful because I didn't know what time I'd arrive at the club (mental note; leave St. Louis by 3pm if you want to get to Bloomington and check into your hotel room and be at the club by 7 (show's at 7:30). The first show was a little shaky, and I'm ashamed to say I had to check my cheat sheet. I still had some fun, and got laughs, so it wasn't a bad experience. Second show Friday was easier for me, but there was a giant office party and a capital D-Drunk lady in the front who kept talking through Jason's set. He handled it well, but after the show some people told us they would have enjoyed it more had she been killed or at the least told to shut up more. Saturday afternoon, Jason bought me lunch at Famous Dave's BBQ and the burger I had was awesome. Then I checked out the movie "Just Friends" (meh) and caught part of the Chiefs/Giants game with Jason. The Saturday shows were great, I switched up some of my material (each set had at least a couple of minutes of 'unique' material). I even inserted one existing bit into my porn bits and it works very well, I feel. After the last show I hung out for a bit and then drove back to St. Louis, stopping only for McD's drive-through. Mmmm. It was a very good weekend because Jason and the wait staff at the FunnyBone were very nice and approachable; I kind of get nervous around the wait staff at clubs because I don't really know anyone and I'm really bad with names. But I'm back there in a month and I think I'll remember everyone's name (that I learned).
