Tonight we barely had a show at the Bistro. Three gentlemen showed up for the actual show, and so Clayton asked Matt Wolff, Stevie P, Chris Teague and I if we wanted to go up. I'm not entirely sure how they voted, but I went with yes, and we had a show. I feel bad because 15 minutes prior I called Mikey Manker and told him we would likely not have a show. Clayton MC'd and throughout his set and mine, people came through the door and stayed. Most talked loudly at the bar, which at least once made me loose my train of thought. I admittedly lost my place, again, when a lady sat down somewhat provocatively. When I mentioned that on stage and got a laugh (she missed it, completely, though). After my set I was getting a soda when one audience member, a regular named Susan, said she missed my Tetris joke (she actually referred to it as singing my list, but I take what I can get). She went on to say people stopped paying attention after my set, which in its own way was a nice compliment. I normally don't like to post about compliments because it seems kind of arrogant, and I'm also afraid that when someone says something nice about me and I repeat it, it will come off like I am trying to say, "oh, that guy didn't get a compliment, did you notice that?", Which I am not. I have work to do on some jokes about my brother, and I thought up a premise about gift-giving... Thankfully tomorrow is writing day at Starbucks.
Here's another thing I've been thinking of: I listen to a couple of different pod casts, Bill and Dan, PK and J and The Distorted View, and I would like to do my own pod cast. The thing is; I don't want to seem like I am copying off others, and I don't think I have time to sit around and record stuff in my bed room. So what I am thinking about is recording my thoughts after a show on the drive home from the show. Later I could do some editing in post, add intro/outro music and such (maybe even a clip from that night's performance), but I don't know if I have anything to say. Then again, I blog after every show, and so maybe I do have something to say...
In other news, I got an email from one of the Lucy Titas guys; which I fully intended to rip apart here in the blog... For some reason I just can't do it... One line in the email was too sincere for me to attack, and like a virus, that kind of spread through the rest of the email. The guy said, "We're working hard at trying to get a following. We don't want any bad press from anyone", I kind of know what he is talking about. And so I guess I should lay off. I'm not going to take down any of my posts, I don't condone that since it's part of my blog (and therefore history) I want to be able to remember that, and have a record of when I started a fight with a band I never met. And now I'll have the record of me ending the feud (if you can call it that?).
Oh dear god, please don't tell me I'm growing up...
