regarding this previous night's comedy show

My bit about the Campaign for Real Beauty went well tonight. (Sure, they're "real women" -- but they're hawking cellulite cream! It would be like if we ran a campaign of homeless people smiling and called it the Campaign for Real Teeth ... but in the corner, there was a logo for Crest whitestrips. The message is "love yourself ... just not completely").

I started telling my pigeon joke and Syd started laughing in advance of the punchline. "That's my freebird!" I said, which cracked him up unexpectedly.

Overall, though, the show was overbooked (far too many comics, such that the audience dwindled by more than half over the course of the show), and I am taking a bit of a hiatus from the dank fraternity basements of the comedy club world. Stay tuned for more shows which I will produce myself.

A big thanks to Louise, Tom, and Syd!
