I showed up at Muddy Waters at the America's Best-Value Inn in Quincy, IL mere minutes before the scheduled show time. When i got there, I found Landon and Kevin and not much of a crowd. Apparently the ENTIRE barstaff at the place was fired Thursday, so I guess there were rumors or something going around about there not being a show. We decided to hold off until about 8:30 rather than begin with an audience of literally 5. We got maybe 20 more people in the bar, and after a little begging, they moved to the front and we began the show. My set went extremely well, I did a little over 21 minutes and got two different applause breaks. My "chunk" of porn material didn't really register with the whole audience, but one table in particular liked it, which was cool. I'm considering dropping it since it doesn't seem to mesh well with the rest of my material. But of course, nothing's set in stone. All in all, the show was really good, I had fun and I got a much-needed boost to my confidence after the Lincoln, IL Bowling Alley set.
