I forgot to call in and sign up for the open mic at the Comedy Forum this week; so I was put on the waiting list and was told by Al Canal that I might get to go up if there was time. I said that was fine, since I did not sign up; I should have to follow the rules (and I am/was fine with that). Near the end of the show, Al said that Landon (who was in the same "boat" I was) could do a shorter set, and I said I'd love to. Most of the audience (literally and figuratively since they were all over-weight) had already left, but I wanted to at least get some practice before the show Saturday (my birthday!) at Muddy Waters in Quincy, IL with Landon Meyer and Kevin White. I went up and did literally three jokes, not even three minutes, just three jokes. And I'm happy with that because on joke is new (came up with it this week or last), one joke is two weeks old, and the third is my PANTS joke, which someone actually requested before I went on stage. My set went as well as possible with an audience of 8 non-comics, so I'm not down about it or anything. I might be doing Radio with Landon in Quincy Friday morning if I can wake up early enough to drive out to Quincy; I've done Radio once before and had a blast with it, so it should be a good time. Look out Quincy, here I come.
