Tonight I got to emcee for Tommy Johnagin and Ricky Guitierrez. The show was awesome, Tommy and I both had great sets, and so did Ricky even though he has bronchitis or something crazy-bad like that. The audience wasn't as big as I had hoped, because it was "Free Wings" night, and college night and SIUE apparently did an article on Tommy and advertised the show. On the ride back, since Tommy and I carpooled, Tommy and I talked comedy and he gave me a line for my blind skier joke, which I really like, and we also "talked shop" a bit, about writing, video games, and getting away with touchy material. The weirdest part of the night, though, was when Anthony and Chrissy asked me to fix their computers (since I had just done some work on the one at the club). Since I only know how to fix problems I've encountered I'm always scared to agree to fix someone else's machine, since there's the possibility of me making it worse. But then again, I have a hard time saying no to people, so I said I'd take their computers home Friday and try to fix them Saturday. I can't wait for the shows this weekend, because I'm hoping to switch around my material a bit, I literally had no idea what I was going to do tonight until I started talking. Those sets are usually pretty fun, but it makes me nervous because if you're not paying attention to what you're saying, things could go terribly wrong.
