Keith and I are worried about Amber. She used to be such a good girl and now she's fallen in with the "wrong" crowd and only wants to spend time with those people they call "not comedians". As her parents, we wonder where we went wrong? Was it my insistance that she wear that little santa elf outfit for the cast photo? Was it the "hot dog on a stick"
costume or was it those roles as Barry that turned her. I don't know, I just don't know.

Fun night. It was Xeno's birthday so first off was Lazer Tag, which I couldn't make unfortunately, but I caught up with the revelers for some sushi. The manager brought a Saki Bomb to Becca, Xeno's amore. IT's a shot of Saki in a beer. The manager drank one along with her. Then he found an excuse to bring Xeno one, even though Xeno told him he couldn't drink one. The manager of course drank one himself regardless. This guy was TANKED! He kept telling us he loved us, and he was PETTING us. Very weird. Our friend Bob practicaly drank this stuff called Dave's Insanity Sauce. This stuff was so hot I put some on my finger, then wiped my finger on a napkin then touched my finger to my toungue and Bob just licked up a puddle of it. The evening ended at Becca's place with Xeno playing a song between each present he recieved and lots of yummy food. My favorite present was Becca giving him a gift certificate for a birthday massage, which he had to collect wearing a birthday suit! Ahhhhhh, such a cute couple. No one got drunk, no fights, no puking and yet I had a great time. Sheez I'm to much of a goody two shoes old man to be a comedian.
Oh, also, Far From Heaven is a great flick. From the previews it looked way too sincere, but it's a gorgeous film and Dennis Quaid turns in a phenomenol performance.
And one last note, San Francisco is Booked. The first two weekends in May we're at Spangangas in San Francisco. We're muey excited. Alright, good night.

Well we've chosen our new cast member. We had some great auditions and got to meet some very funny people, but Miles (his last names to much for me) just had the right combination we were looking for. He'll be taking a lot of the roles vacated by Tom Cox so he had to be a good straight man and we've become like a little family over the last year, so we wanted to make sure we found someone everybody could get along with. I'm surprised we didn't scare him away by our audition methods. He had to meet every member of the cast so that everyone could give their 2 cents. He got put on the spot over and over again. He dealt with it well, and we cast him for the Best of Run, so he'll be going to LA and SF with us also. I know our audience will dig him. Miles is very funny and has a lot of theatre experience as well as comedy experience. He was in a comedy troupe in LA before moving to Sac.
Speaking of the cast, be sure to check out the cast page which I just updated, and the Shows page as well.
Well rehearsals officialy start tommorow for the best of. I should go to bed so I don't have to drag myself through work and then fall asleep at rehearsals. Quit drivin' like an idiot. Good night.
My first Blog. I'd just like to say that 12 to 14 billion years ago, everything in the universe occupied the same space, a space smaller than a single atom. No wonder I get a headache once in a while.

The X-Mas SF shows are behind us at last. It was cool playing some different venues, and the last show was a group show so we got to perform with some SF comedians and comedy troupes. The venue, Spanganga was realy cool and may end up being the home for our Best of Show when we take it to SF. So now we're working our booties off on getting the Best Of show ready to go. This is realy exciting but intimidating too. We've upped the stakes as far as how many tickets we need to sell, what with theatre rent and travel expenses and all. But hey, WE'RE GOING TO LA! I've got a lot of friends doing comedy and other odd things down there and all my brothers (I've got 4) live down there. It'll be great to have them all see what we're doing. The line up for the best of show is just amazing, and in Sac we'll be changing it every weekend so hopefully we'll get some repeat business.
New Photos and another web page redesign coming soon....
