Well, I am in Milwaukee and have some time off. I love performing, but I think this is a well-timed break as I have recently started feeling a little exhausted and have been feeling a little ill in the throat lately. I think I need this time to rest a bit. I just got back from a run in North Dakota with the funny Mark Knope. It was fun, not all that worth my while, but I took it because I was supposed to have a big weekend in Minneapolis, and that fell out at the last minute, and I didn’t want to screw over my friends at the agency that booked in in North Dakota so I did it and had a blast. Unfortunately, when I got home I realized that my camcorder bag was missing. It had my camcorder, a ton of tapes, and bunch of cords and stuff I need in it. I am almost positive someone from the hotel staff took it. During my whole trip, the camera was only in my trunk and in hotel rooms. I may have left it in one of the rooms accidentally, but when I called all of them (about 4 to 5 times) everyone told me nothing was found in the rooms. I normally like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but in this case, someone’s lying. Honestly, the tapes I lost are more important than the camera. I have already replaced the camera (a HUUUGE thanks to my Gentlemens Hour counterparts for their concern and help with me on that! Those guys are the best.), but the tapes I had in that bag had home video footage of my last bunch of visits with my nieces and nephews in Omaha and a lot of project footage for The Gentlemens Hour stuff and all my recorded stand up for the last 6 months. I am working on putting a demo tape together for the Boston Comedy Festival and all I have to work with is footage from 2007 where my hair is down past my shoulders… damn, it was beautiful! I know I probably shouldn’t complain as it could definitely be worse. That phrase is rarely comforting, as I think I have ranted on in the past. Well, I am excited to say that I will be performing in Milwaukee at the fabulous Comedy Cafe on Brady at the end of the month and then at the Skyline Comedy Cafe in Appleton the next weekend.
I am trying to think of if I forgot anything I wanted to mention. Oh, please do yourself a favor and go see Iron Man if you haven’t already. I have seen it twice and I just love it. It is great. I think that’s everything. Please keep checking in as I will continue to post super duper hilarious updates just like this one. …yikes, sorry about that. ”Don’t ya hate it when you drive 13 hours to North Dakota and ya lose your camera and all your tapes….”
