A funny (hopefully) blog to balance it out… I had a show last Friday that went very well for me, mostly b/c I tried a new joke I’ve been working on and it hit pretty hard. What annoyed me is the show time was supposed to be 8:00 and they moved it to 8:30. So instead of sitting around for 45 minutes, I now had an hour and 15 to kill. That’s fun times, sitting on a folding chair in the back of room trying not to drink too much pre-show.
I did however, sell three shirts afterwards, one of which the guy paid me with dollar coins and quarters. Looks like the bartender just got a bigger tip! I hate carrying change and what’s with this dumb dollar coin? No vending machines take them and every time you use one, get ready for the “Well, I ain’t seen one o’ these before!” inane conversations. I hate small talk and repeat conversations, but it’s something we do in the Midwest. “Well, it shore is gunna be a hot one today!” “Yup.” “Think it’ll rain?” “Excuse, who are you and why are you talking to me? Go stand in front of a mirror and bore yourself. Thanks.”
