I caught the show at the Bone last night, which I normally don't do on Mondays as it makes me late for the Lloyd and Harry's show. I showed up a little after ten, I think, and caught Brian Dowell's set. He was doing well, so I had high hopes for the audience. Especially since I wanted to try some new stuff out. But when I got on stage, the audience didn't seem that participatory; which really sucks. After my set, some guy told me I had the best timing he had seen of anyone on stage.
Generally I would have accepted the compliment gratefully, but after having eatin it for about six minutes, I simply wasn't in the mood for some drunk dude. I asked what he was talking about, and then he gave me the best advice I've every gotten1. He said: Drop the bit about the kids, man, I think it made people uncomfortable. (breathe in)
I DIDN'T DO ANY JOKES ABOUT KIDS LAST NIGHT
(breathe out) Maybe he was talking about my new Jesus joke (which you can check out on my MySpace page). I don't know. Anyway, I hung out for a bit and borrowed a CD from Stevie P. I've listened to it a couple times, I have to say: it's alright.
Anyway, there's no show tonight as it's Halloween, so I'm not sure what I'll be doing. Likely grocery shopping and other capital L-lame stuff. Maybe I'll get inspired for a new Bucket of Fish. I hope so.
1 The fact that I have to mention that this is sarcasm saddens me a bit.
