Ah, the glamourous life of a skit comedian. It's Saturday night and I'm finishing up some one month overdue paperwork for a job I don't have anymore. I should be in SF promoting.
I'm in a strange mood. I just read Disco Blood Bath and I'm actually pining for the days of reckless abandon. I like the stage of my life I'm at, and I don't want to go back, but I suppose it's okay to miss the past, like missing an old friend.
God, I had so much energy back then. People think I have a-lot now, but my GOD I could just run non-stop in my teens and twentys. I get more done now. I'm just so damn efficient.
I'm listening to Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and also to The Birthday Party, Nick Cave's first band.
My new job's working out. I like working with Allen (Gallery Horse Cow). And it feels good to FINALLY be done with my old job. My new job won't follow me home. Much less pressure. It's less career oriented too, but I don't need a career. Comedy's a career. And it feels like it's going somewhere. It's moving. We just have to keep it moving. So far so good. We keep topping ourselves, but damn it's a long climb.
I think after these next THREE WEEKENDS of shows we should all sit down again and talk about what's on top of that hill.

I watched Triplets of Belleville at The Crest and I highly reccommend it. I also just watched a bunch of Buster Keaton, and a documentary on the Marx Brothers that I cried most of the way through. I always cry when I watch the Marx Brothers and I have NO idea why. Hmmm.

It's important to watch a lot of bad television comedy if you want to be a comedian. Hours upon hours of it is highly reccomended. The worse the better.

Oh, and let me add, The St. Simon 3 have been working with us and will supply the sound tracking at our SF shows and our back in Sac shows.
The music is really coming together, and I hear tell of another Naked Man song in the works!

I know I'm biased, but Becca's cover story in the N&R has been one of my favorite reads in this weekly thus far. Great job Becca.
So, we're all trying to get to SF as much as possible to promote our new shows. I've sent Michael Vav some posters and flyers via Horse Cow express. Amber and I are supposed to head to the city by the bay today.
We're looking to book time to record our first CD and while we're at it, we're laying down the audio for our first animation. Kendall Smith, a Spike and Mike regular, will be doing the animation.
We're working hard to get our video demo edited and we just booked a return trip to Sacramento where we'll be playing The Gallery Horse Cow again, February 20th and 21st.
Woowee, staying busy.
The News and Review decided we are still press worthy despit having recruited one of their writers into our troupe, and so Carey Roddah is putting together a story on us which should run right before the Sac shows.
YAY!

I JUST HEARD A NIRVANA SONG...IN A COMMERCIAL. WTF? I am furious. For real. Whoever owns that song, and allowed this is the devil.

HA HA! My friend Johnny, from Sac Cacophony just called me on his cell phone and let me listen as he and his cacophonous buddies drove by Goldie's Adult Super Store yelling "Who's buying porn?"
This is of coursed based on the stories of sweet little Amber Kloss doing the same thing and then giggling all the way home. Congrats Amber, you've started a tradition. Johnny is the fourth person to tell me of doing this after seeing our show. I wonder how many more folks are shoutin' it out.
