Tonight I went over to the Westport Funnybone to hang out and catch the shows. Usually I get there for the 7:30, but this time I was a little late because I was watching Leon: The Professional (one of my all time favorite movies). I got there around 9-ish and hung out as usual and got to meet the Headliner Paul Mecurio, who was very funny (not Paul Mercurio, who is funny for a very different reason). Right before the midnight show started, Jeff invited me to do a spotlight. Craig Hawksley (who was MCing/featuring), opened the show, did his time and brought me up. I did my endorsements, black out, email, nervous, math (with new wording), phone sex and spanish/tires bits and closed on my Sam's club tampon bit (I didn't do the whole tetris thing because I figured it might not work with the crowd). Anyway, after the show, everyone was very complimentary; we hung out for a bit, I thanked Matt and Jeff for the stage time and I ended up giving Paul a ride to his hotel. We got lost (which is just my luck) and it took probably 10 to 15 minutes longer than normal to drop him off (which happened when I drove Tommy Blaze to his hotel too). I felt really bad because Paul has a 7:00am flight, but he was pretty decent about it. Anyway, it's like 3:36am and I need to catch some Z's.
You think it's easy playin' one nights stand then try playin' in a rock roll band
