The Tour: Baltimore update
Last night, an artist named Ben who had intended to come to my show in Baltimore got in a car accident and wasn't able to attend -- and sent Molly and me flowers. Ben is fine, his KIA isn't, and the flowers are red, yellow, and blue in honor of my Wonder Woman outfit.
The Hamilton Arts Collective is an oasis of artsy pleasure, pocketed in a marginal part of town. It is the Baltimore equivalent of moving Galapagos to the Bronx. This show didn't sell out like the D.C. and Norfolk ones, but I was very pleased to play to a small crowd of Baltimoreans who braved the snow to make it to the land of artsy couches and $1 concessions.
Strangely, virtually every bar and theater we have played on this tour has served popcorn.
The how-to-do-standup seminar went very well, and I received a couple of inquiries after the fact from potential comedians who missed it, so you can plan on that being repeated.
I'm going to make my last trip (possibly ever) to the Wheaton Shopping Village Bally's in Silver Spring, Maryland. Oh, suburban Stairmaster, how I will miss thee.
Yesterday at the gym, I saw a fifty year old overweight Asian lady on an elliptical machine who had penciled in her eyebrows blue, to match her ... headband. For real.
Tomorrow I return to Brooklyn, to my cat, and to Pete's Candy Store. New Yorkers: next Monday's show, I promise all-new jokes.

1) Ben is a classy guy.
2) People from Baltimore are NOT "Baltimorons".
Jen--you were awesome at the Hamilton Arts Collective show....I was blown away by the history of philosophy in 15 minutes. Part micro-machine man and part professor. I really liked it. The cider was good stuff too.
