Well, the year is almost over. 6 days til Christmas, 12 days til 2008. I am excited for December to be over. This year has been a great year for me, career-wise, but this month has been disastrous as far as fall-outs and horrible bookings go. I am doing the best I can to solidify my 2008 bookings, but there is only so much I can do. I just have to keep a positive attitude.
My show on Saturday the 15th was one to remember! I had a lot of friends and a TON of family in the crowd at the Comedy Cafe that show here in Milwaukee. I had a fantastic set, doing mostly all new material (new to them), and then at the end, I pulled my mom onstage, told her it was time for me to give her her Christmas present, and handed her a pair of scissors. It was dead silent for about 2 seconds til she realized it was for real and that I was letting her cut my pony tail off. She had whined about it enough. She got very excited and after much hemming and hawing, the ponytail was cut off. She left a little rat-tail, which the crowd thoroughly enjoyed. I went a couple days looking like a douchebag, and then had a friend clean it up. I am once again just another short-haired run of the mill everyman. Its exciting because I can pretend I am Jack Bauer a lot easier now, but I know that in a few days severe depression over the loss of my locks will set in, and the Johnny Beehner you all once knew will be gone for about a year and a half to two years. Then it should have grown back. Ha, actually we’ll see. Is not that my hair was so beautiful, there’s no debate there, its that I was and am very lazy. That is why I had long hair, that is why I have a beard. It saves money and time not having to buy haircuts or shave. Yes, I care about my appearance. I love looking like Jesus. Anyway, if you would like to see a clip from the show where my mom comes up on stage, go to youtube and search for “beehner hair” and it should come up. If you wanna laugh really hard again after you watch that do a youtube search for “Beehner fake selling tshirts.”
