Tonight wrapped up my week of emceeing out at the Funny Bone in Fairview Heights. One of the managers said that he saw me Thursday and tonight and that I was like a completely different person on stage. That definately goes in the compliment column.
Aside from that, I still haven't heard about who's been voted into the next round at the Westport competition. Gabe Kea said he had heard I made it, but I don't want to get my hopes up, so I'll wait for "official" word and just show up Tuesday to catch the show.
This week I'm planning on calling some different clubs and try to set up some auditions or spotlights. I'd like to get some more emcee experience, and with the stuff I learned this week, I hope to get out more often and make some connections. I think it'll be too hard to cold-call clubs and try to get booked when I finally start to feature; and there's a much lower-risk for clubs letting me spotlight and emcee, so once I get my foot in the door, that should help. This past week, I was on stage every single day from Monday to Sunday, and tomorrow I get to start again with Lloyd and Harry's and hopefully the Funny Bone. As much as I am looking forward to those, I'm also looking forward to going to sleep right now.
