I would like to apologize to my enormous fan base for that lack of recent updates. I have no excuse. I was going to say that someone close to me died as an excuse, but if that person were to read this update, they might get confused and explode. Probably not, but I have never been one to play the odds. Tonight was a blast. We had a show at the Tanner Paull… Yes, you read correctly, the TANNER PAULL!!! I am not sure what an American Legion is, but that’s what the Tanner Paull is. It actually sounds kinda like a patriotic skin sore. I don’t think that’s what it was, though. Anyway, it was a great show. Tom Clark headlined and he is one of my favorite comics to watch. He is from Milwaukee, which is neat, I guess, but I never really knew him well when he was here. He lives in LA now. I have met him several times and worked with him before, but it was just great to watch him be silly. Russ Martin mc-ed and me and Tyler Kroll co-featured, I guess you would call it. It was a blast.
I performed in Madison on Tuesday night in the finals of the WiSUC’s contest for the funniest person in Madison. There were 8 of us. Tyler and I were 2 of the eight and I am pretty sure he got 7th and I got 8th. We don’t know because they only announce 1st-4th place and we were not any of those. It was a lot of fun and Madison has a lot of great comics! KeaLynn Keas was very funny, for example. Anyway, the winner was Nick Mortinsen and he is pretty funny. Let me just say I need to get ahold of his speech-writer! Nevermind. :) (I like it how I include inside jokes to myself that no-one not at the show would get) He’s a good guy, so I am ending this topic right now.
I know I am always thinking this and saying I will do it, and I occasionally do, but not enough, but I do want to write a lot more. I was checking out Nick’s website, which I can’t put a link up because I don’t know how to spell his last name and am too lazy right now to open a browser and find it, but its something like www.nickmortensen.com. Anyway, he writes a lot and he does it often. Not necessarily comedy, I have no idea how much he writes comedy, but he writes on his site a lot and I would like to start doing that more and more because I do think it is helpful. (and entertainment for Conor when he is bored at work) I am trying to think of some dumb funny story to tell you, but I am drawing a blank. Oh, here is one: I am on myspace and a comic that I am not sure of who he is or if I know him (I am horrible with names and faces and really any other thing that helps people not be retarded in social situations), but he wrote me a message that I did not get until after the show tonight. He wrote me asking me the address of the show tonight. I got the message after the show and wrote back telling him that I am sorry I didn’t get the message in time and told him it was a great show and I am sorry he couldn’t make it. Immediately after sending it, I realized that his picture on myspace looks an awful lot like a guy I talked to for a little bit after the show. Moral of the story: I am totally retarded. JohnHA of myspace, if you are reading this and that was you, it was nice to meet you. If it was not you and you are reading this, I look forward to meeting you (if we haven’t met) and, again, I apologize for not getting your message sooner. If you were there and you are not reading this… nevermind.
