Last night my friend Janine got to MC the Funny Bone open mic. She did a good job, too, especially when she brought me on stage. Not only was her intro good, and her technique flawless, but she brought me on stage, which really helped in her over-all score. I'm working on this bit about hobos getting harrassed by the police and it's a little weird. I tried it out last night, along with my Dominoes Brownies bit. I also threw in my Halloween, Christmas and Easter jokes. 'Tis the season...
I also did a Friday the 13th line, since it's coming up in about 2 weeks. It went like this; "I celebrate Friday the 13th, too. I like to dress up and kill teenagers". My set was alright, I would really like to get a new closer or find something else that's strong enough to end a five-minute set. For emceeing, the Tetris thing still works, but I'm not doing that at every open mic.
One important piece of Marcus news; I returned my Charter cable modem yesterday. So I don't have internet at home anymore. My intent is to save money and get a laptop that I can use on the road and at St. Louis Bread Co/Panera and mooch internet like that. I'm hoping it works out, 'cause if it does, I get a laptop!
