Late as heck; I blame the cats

So while I was in Appleton, my girlfriend (Sarah) who was in Colorado visiting family informed me she got two cats. Their names are Conrad and Doug; named after characters in the Showtime dramatic series Weeds. Since then, I've been very occupied playing with the cats and have NOT been blogging as much (or as quickly after a show) as I would like. Tuesday's show at the Funny Bone was alright. There were a lot of "new" guys, and the audience kind of petered out at the end. Since Matt wasn't there, Jeff had me run the meeting, and I asked Jeff if I could do about 6 minutes to practice for my set (tonight) at Barrel of Laughs in Chicago. I did my six (maybe a little more) and had to drop two jokes because I didn't have time, which means if I do six tonight (I'm not sure how much time I'll be doing) I'm going to have to change my joke lineup. I'm really excited about Barrel of Laughs, but people at work have been asking when I'll know if I get anything out of it. My answer is just "could be months", which as I think about it, is a really disheartening answer. I know in comedy a lot of auditions don't go anywhere (and it takes a while to find that out (I had an audition in South Bend, IN back when the Funny Bone there was open, did well, did them a favor, and never got so much as an emcee week). That stuff happens; and as much as it flat-out sucks; it's comedy and I'm alright with it. I hope we have a decent crowd tonight, and I hope I get to do about 7 to 10, I think I could rock a 7-10 minute set tonight
