Either way it's been two weeks since I've graced the world wide web with my thoughts and anecdotes.
In that time I've wowed the likes of, well, about 30 people at a comedy club. I had two more shows recently. One went better than it could have. I got blindsided by a no-show of fans (and by fans, I mean very generous and supportive friends) and was relegated to the last spot of the night and a mere 3 minutes on stage. With those three minutes, I made the only four people left in the club laugh a couple of times. I consider it a success.
Then the big show! Friday night! Headlining! (Only because all of my generous and supportive friends showed up late or did not show at all and I had to be bailed out by some good-natured friends from college who I hadn't seen in forever). For 8 minutes (well, about 7 minutes and 15 seconds....my first joke did not go over well) I had 'em laughing. It was a rush I tells ya. Or a moderate increase in good feelings. Or somewhere between the two.
To add to awesomeness of having a show go incredibly well (some might argue [that some being me] it was my best show yet!), I got to stand in a nifty sports bar and watch the Pittsburgh Penguins pants the Red Wings in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup! Hoorah!
And to top it all off, my good mate from Trinidad was visiting that weekend. We shared drinks and laughs and good times and if it didn't sounds so gay, I'd say it was magical. (Sounds really gay).
Now the real world is smacking me in the face again and I must work harder than I ever worked when I had a job. Awesome.
