Last night, the Cardinals game got over around 11:00 or so. Minutes later, the Cocktail hour at Laughs on the Landing started. We had, to my knowledge, 1 audience member who was not a comic. I didn't stay very long as I had work this morning (my last day at Express Scripts) and didn't want to be late and get accused of not-caring...
[it's now Monday, as I didn't have time to finish my thoughts on Thursday night, I seemed to have forgotten everything I wanted to say. I know I tried a couple new jokes (I know, to an all comic crowd, good idea, right?), but some of them got laughs and whatnot. I'll likely try them again soon...]
Saturday night I had two shows: TWO! One was a private party for a coworker's brother. I was booked to do about 20 to 30 minutes in Eureka (two words, BIG HOUSE!). I showed up a little early and hung out, I was the only person not in costume, so I kind of stuck out, but I didn't care. My set went pretty well, the host of teh party, Matt, thought that I did very well and said if he ever wanted something like that again, he'd give ma a call. Nice.
I split out of the party at about 11:10pm and headed down to the Landing, where I was in a showcase with Janine, Gabe, The Dizz, Adam and Jeff Wesselschmidt. I went up first (after Adam) and had a pretty decent set. This weekend's really helped my confidence, as I have been in a sort of slump lately. The show room had about 20 people in it, but i got audible laughs, which really helped. I did forget to try out a new joke I've been working on, and I really need to get on that as i want to work it out before I forget... Tomorrow, I'll try to get it on my myspace blog, but mooching internet at Panera makes it hard to kick these things out. I should probably just email it to myself and cut and paste it. There's an idea...
Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.

I could get a haircut, and I'd give up the video games
