I got a text from Landon Meyer saying that the Cocktail Hour would be starting at ten instead of the semi-usual nine o'clock. He invited me down to do some writing, so headed down to the landing. While sitting around and not-writing some dudes came up and said we could go on before the headliner. We all agreed, and as usual I got thrown to the perverbial wolves and had to go up first. I forget the name of the emcee, but I've worked with him before, but it was no real surprise when he brought me up as "Marc". Just Marc, no last name, no note to help him out. Marc.
Awesome.
Anyway, I was planning on opening with my Black-name bit. (here's some advice for anyone reading this, always open with a bit that you haven't done in a really long while, especially if you're going basically first).
Sarcasm.
So I ate it, and I mean A-T-E it for almost six minutes. Afterwards, I hung out a little bit, but had to leave. I wasn't keen on the idea of starting a show at 10:00 and hanging around for whenever I go to go up, so I headed home. No need to eat it twice in one night, you know? I'll save that for a special occassion.
