Not having internet at my condo is increasingly frustrating. Supposidly I have someone coming over Saturday (between 8am and 12) to take a look. What they're going to find is anyone's guess. I know they won't like my setup, though. I re-wired my condo when I bought it, adding coaxil, telephone, and ethernet "drops" in five places throughout the unit. They will undoubtedly say, splitting the cables weakens the signal. Uh huh, and what about when I don't split the cable and go straight to the modem? Thought so.
Saturday's shows in Appleton were by far the best of the week. Cliff had nice things to say about me, which was cool. I already recieved an email about future bookings, I might get one by the end of the year. The drive back to St Louis was terrible. It rained almost the entire way, which was not cool. But I got home safe and didn't get any speeding tickets (which I most-definately deserved). Sunday I hung out at the Funny Bone and watched Gabe emcee for Brett Clawson and Mark Sweeney. I would have liked to watch Eddie Goessling last night, but I went to Lloyd and Harry's for the open mic.
Clayton let me emcee, and I had a good set. I had a lot of fun, tried my lightening joke and talked about my trip to the Salan in Appleton. "Manscaping", It's a weird subject, and I want to talk about it on stage - but certain things might be to "personal". However, I firmly contend that I can talk about waxing body hair in a non-graphic non-disgusting manner.
Having just finished that last paragraph, I wonder if anyone in my family reads this stuff. I dount they do; some of my family members take an interest in my comedy, but it's usually limited to "Any shows recently?". Any detail I go into is usually for my own benefit, it seems. I have a long standing tradition of embarrassing my family (or at least provoking them to say I am embarrassing them), and so revealing that I took a trip to Brazil might be a bit more than they want the world to know about me.
