Last night, I got to host at the Landing. I also had to make the list, whichis pretty stressful, as far as I'm concerned. Adam is letting me help with the pre-show meetings now, which is cool; but it's weird because I'm trying to do a good job. Adam and I decided if people don't make it to the meeting, they get put at the bottom, the later you show up, the later you go up. So if the meeting starts and we have 19 comics (plus one host) then whoever walks is after the meeting is 20th. So I have to make a list 1-19, and a list 20++. I don't want to short any of the 1-19's, so making sure I write every name once is kind of tricky, especially since I have bad handwriting.
Anyway, I basically ate it for my set. Either that crowd was collectively PMSing or my mood really showed on stage (I was not in a good mood after more than one person complained about their place on the list. Most of them let it go, after they saw I was serious, but one just kept hounding me to move them. Sorry, no). Anyway the show had about 25 comics in it and was pretty good. The crowd warmed up about 5 or 6 comics in, and the rest of the show went pretty well. I did forget one guy's name, which was embarrassing, but I'm terrible with names, so I hope he didn't take it as an insult.
One piece of good news; Adam asked me to host Saturday at the Landing. I'll be working with Steve Caminti and Kevin Barber aka "Squishy Man".
One piece of news news; my website might go offline for a bit, I'm transfering over to my .Mac account (http://web.mac.com/marcusisfunny and dropping my current web hosting provider, in the mean time I have to rebuild my site because if iWeb (the software that came with my MacBook) doesn't support the current styles and layout. I'll try to keep the blog up, even if I have to use the Blogger.Com's server.
Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.
