Last night I was lucky enough to get to perform at the Grizzley Bear in Soulard again. There are two specific dates that I especially like performing on: one if my birthday (September 8th) and the other is April Fool's Day. I did perform on my last birthday, in Fairview Heights, and according to my blog I performed at Wash U with Janine Brito and a bunch of others on April Fool's 2005. I performed at Fairview on my 2004 birthday as well, and then since it was a Wednesday I went to the Red Sea to do a set there. Anyway, about the Grizz. There were a few more people than Friday night, and we had a different MC. A guy named Arthur from the Union Station Improv did about 10 or so before me. One thing that threw me is he brought me up as Scott Robinson (obviously a cross between my name and Scott Derenger's). I didn't know how to correct him without sounding like a jerk, so I didn't say anything. And later when I did my Ferrari joke (and say "www.Marcus'sFerrari.com") I think people might've gotten confused. Anyway, I did about 15 minutes with some jokes I didn't do Friday and had fun on stage. I missed most of Scott's set because my only highschool classmate, Matt, called while I was on stage and I didn't have my phone on vibrate. How embarrassing. Anyway, I ended up on the phone for a while and after the show headed over to Westport to see Dan Chopin and Greg Warren. I forgot to mention this on yesterday's blog, but I gave Christina and Jenny a ton of FunnyBone passes to hand out at the shows and they said they have away a bunch at the Volleyball tournament they did Saturday afternoon. It'd be sweet if people showed up with my tickets since all my coworkers are bums who have "families" and "children" and "responcibilities". Anyway, this blog is about 28 hours late, but I was too wiped to type when I got home last night. I'm working on emptying my DVR right now which includes sitting though about an hour and a half of my random thoughts from the past three months. You don't even want to know the weird crap that's coming out of this thing. Which is why I might make a list of the tracks and what they say. If you think that'd be funny to read, email me.
Bistro tomorrow, Bone Tuesday, I might head over to Fairview Wednesday, and Laugh Thursday. GabeKea.com
