Well, my long run on the road is almost done.  Even though I will only be home for two days before I head back out on the road, I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed.  I am in my hotel room in Matthews, NC.  I haven’t been home since the 2nd.  I saw a commercial for Sleep Number mattresses that had some disney band talking about how they are on the road for 20 days at a time and its nice to come home to their sleep # bed.  I wonder if they sleep in their Chevy Cavalier in Wal-Mart parking lots some nights on the road, too.  I am very grateful to all my extended family across the country that has let me crash at their place, cousin Reggie and Beth, cousin Jacinta and Thore, and brother Ben.  2 shows tonight here in NC.  2 shows tomorrow and then 14 hours home.  Then Tuesday I head out to Mortys in Indianapolis.  Oh, and I got some exciting news!  In October I will be doing a split week in Peoria, IL.  I am headlining the Thursday and Friday, and then Saturday and Sunday, I will be opening for ROBERT KLEIN.  Oh, and a thank you to all of you that read my blog from myspace and contributed your thoughts.  I solved my turd burglar problem and have a new extended bit that actually goes over pretty well onstage.  (www.myspace.com/johnnycomic)  Right now I’m watching Firestarter on AMC.  Man, Drew Barrymore sure is hot.

Hello, fans of johnnybeehner.com. I am in my hotel room in Jacksonville, FL. It is awesome here. I am working the Comedy Zone here with Louis Ramey. Louis is great. Today was kinda cool, cause after I got off stage and the mc announced Louis, I ran to my room and put on Last Comic Standing only to see Louis Ramey being announced as a finalist into the house. I gotta be honest, I have never really followed that show much. I watched the episode tonight and realized I’m not really much of a fan. I have auditioned for it before and will probably do it again, if its convenient (I made it to the night round in Chicago in season 2) but it really isn’t a a legit show. Any comic knows its rigged as far as who they take. But also, its more of a Real World type reality show than a contest of stand up. It just focuses on comics talking shit about each other and that is really the last thing we need. Oh, well. Whatever. Its always fun to watch the first few episodes to see my friends on it… even though they have made some of my friends that are great comics look like open mic-ers with inconvenient editing.
My girl, Erin is here with me and that is super nice. Today we went to the beach and I got some color playing in the waves. I hadn’t seen her in almost 2 weeks and won’t see her for 2 weeks after she leaves. So we are trying to live it up and enjoy our time here. Good night, friends.
