New Haven, New Room

Last night I hit the road with Joe Lehnig and Dan O'Sullivan, destination: New Haven, MO. Four years ago this Augist I did my first professional show at the Boondocker with Joe and Dano, and Andy Faasen. It's good to see I've come so far in four years. Kidding. Every other time I've been at the Boondocker in New Haven we've done the show in the dance hall and the acoustics and seating were less than accommodating. Last night we did the show in the smaller bar-room. To quote Dano, the lights were "hideous". I taped the show, and took a look at the tape and it's terrible. The audio isn't too bad, the PA system was alright, though there wasn't a microphone stand, which Dano found annoying. Over-all my set was good, I did around twenty minutes, but forgot to do a couple (maybe five) jokes/bits. I did a good job and warmed up the crowd. The ride home was a trip, Dano and I took 94 through wine country and I'm still surprised that we didn't hit any deer. The roads were windy and dark; but I play a lot of video games, so it wasn't too difficult.
