LA Baby

So it's been a few days that I've been in LA and I'm loving it so far.  Sorry for not writing anything sooner but I've been too busy sweating!!!!

Actually the weather has been great and I can't say a bad thing about this place.  There is so much to do, Go to the beach, Clubs, restaurants or you could just drive around and get lost in the Hills...Wow the views.(and I'm not just talking about the mountains, ahahahah)

So we arrived on thrusday night and spent the night in..We might have had a few cocktails and had a BBQ and talked the night away.  After an amazing dance show from Scott we shut her down.  So we dragged a little ass on Friday but I was pumped still.  I was getting to perform at the Comedy Store.  It's always been a dream of mine to stand on that stage.  They do have 3 stages there so I obviously didnt get on the main stage but did a set there regardless.  We were all pretty tired and the rotation of comics took forever but I finally got to do my set.  It went well even though alot of the audience was gone by then and it was late.  What was important to me was having Scott, Aneta and Daish there for me.  Aneta and Scott also invited some friends to come along so that was cool, thanks alot!

It was cool I got to hang out in the green room and talk to the other comics..I'm sure I'll be doing a ton of that in the next few months.  I don't think I misjudged the amount of comics out there but I might have overlooked how hard it seems for them to get stage time.  So time will tell, I'll bust my ass once settle to make that happen and clinch a little piece for me. 

LA is a nutty world but I will crack it!

So that leaves us with the rest of the weekend to relax and chill....haha yeah! It was go go go...which was awesome but it went by so fast.  We hit great restaurants like Fogo do Choi and clubs like Saddle Ranch, etc..On saturday I think we went back to Hollywood like 5 times, it was hilarious.  First to go pick up Scotts Range Rover which we left out there from the night before and then went for a crazy ride with a friend of ours through beverly hills, then back to the bar, then back to Scotts to get changed then back to Hollywood, then get drunk, then back to Scotts, then realize upon arrival that the house keys were left on the key chain in Valet parking(which we had to leave the truck again), then back to Hollywood..,.it was hilarious and Nutz...Loved every minute of it. Again thanks for the Good times Guys!

Sunday was pretty relaxing and didnt really do much, it was needed. We walked around Venice beach and chilled.  Monday was a hoot we spent the afternoon driving through the Hills in Malibu, wow that was wild.  It's pretty surreal out there. Then we all hopped in the Hummer and went and looked at my first apartment.  I was in West Hollywood and I took it.  So yeah I'm pretty excited about that.  I just wanted to sublet a place for about 4-5 months and that was cool with him.  It's furnished and it's a one bedroom, one bathroom.  Looks like a decent area and the bonus that there is an actual parking spot(hard to find around here)...So yeah I gotta fill in some paper work today, go to the bank and hopefully everything is fine by tonight. So I can move it tommorrow.

All I can say is that everything has been insane.  It's just so crazy that I am here, with a vehicle and an apartment(hopefully).  I really look forward to getting settled in so that I can really focus on my career.

Scott has been working on my site(he's a genius btw) so he's got some pretty good ideas.  We're gonna be setting up a green screen(like in the movies) in my place, so you can just imagine the funny shit that's coming...Soooo fucking EXCITED!

Anyways I'm babbling on like a 13yr old girl here but I've been slacking on the Blogging, Just note that once I'm settled in and working, then alot of shit will be added to the site...So don't go getting all disapointed and shit.  I will hunt you down!!

Love you all!

Bye Bye Texas, Hello Phoenix!

Ok so the end is near, I'm only one state away from being in California, woohooo!

So after days and days of driving through nothing but desert we arrived in another desert..Kinda cool.   Well far from cool, it's like 700 degrees here.  I sweated while driving, beat that bitches!

After Houston, Daish and I went to Austin for a night.  Again a beautiful city but it was a quick in and out.  We got to eat at PF Chang's which is an awesome chinese food restaurant and worked on some material.  We needed to prepare ourselves for one hell of a ride across Texas to El Paso.

So after about 9 hours of pretty well nothing in the outskirts of nowhere we got to El Paso.  What can I say about El Paso, chanty's and more chanty's everywhere but the hotel had free booze from 5;30-7:30.  So we took advantage of that for sure and spent the night editing video(soon to be posted). See El paso is a border town with Mexico and they are kinda in war there because of the drug scene.  As a matter of fact the hotel had a brochure that said " free 3 minute trolly to Juarez" So after happy hours(yes two) we called the front desk about that, she kinda laughed and said that it's no longer available but its only about a 10 minute walk.  She followed that by saying that it's night time and that we shouldn't go if we didn't want to die. Yes and that is word for word.  So a hard and long consideration we decided to not go.  But it was tempting, well minus the death part.  The next day we could see what she meant, right across a huge fence we could see the other side of hell...Wow it looked rough, my kinda place.

On to Phoenix we go...We had to cross New Mexico and all cars got stopped at one point to see if there were no illegal immigrants aka mexicans in our cars.  They had one look at Daish(red headed sort of) and whisked us through faster than than 2$ champagne room.  I did take the opportunity to asked them some questions, I don't think that was a good idea, but either way we made it.

So another 6 or so hours of nothing we finally get to another part of the desert, but wow it's a beauty here for sure.  We did see some pretty crazy mountains, rocks and Cactus's so it wasn't a  bust at all. We are now here in Phoenix for two days to work on some more stuff and prepare for maybe a set tommorrow night and then one final long drive to Los Angeles.

It's all coming to an end.  I'd like to say that I'm sad that it's ending but not really. Living out of hotels is really tough. See because I'm moving there for about 5-6 months I had to bring all my clothes(which are really heavy), my porn collection, shoes, coors light cowboy hat, Big drinking mugs, etc.  I didnt want to leave any of that shit in the Hummer so we gotta take it all in to the rooms everynight.  It's really a hassle.  To be honest living on the road wouldn't be bad with one or two bags but with all my shit it's tough.  

So with that said I checked into my last hotel until LA...Cool! I'm soo pumped to get there and get settle and really focus on my career. Luckily I have Scott and Anetka there(cousin and his beautiful Girlfiend) and they are the best.  They are party animals and just amazing people, so we're gonna rock that town together.  Living there and trying to break in is not gonna be easy by any means but if I don't try I won't know.  I didn't really think that I had it in me to drive this far without a plan either, but I did it.  As of today I have put on over 4500Miles on the truck.  That's like a little less than 8000Km's..That's insane! Luckily for good friends and great support that came along.  I do have to mention that Daish(poopoo) is a nazi with Video's so that is really good.  He wants to edit, and needs shit to edit so we tape.  I needed that. Thanks bud!

So that's about it for now, I actually wrote this whole thing without a drink...I know, I know..that's why it got sappy at the end, haha.  Humm but the good news is that this Hotel has free drinks from 5:30-7:30 as well.  What a shame.  One hour of drinking our own booze until free stuff, yep yep..

P.S. I bought a 3+ foot long peperoni stick!! Not gonna eat it but it can be used either as a weapon or a midget tester

Take care all!

Houston at it's best!

So I'm in Houston with no other than the PooPoo McPoopersons....Good times

So he arrived last night and thought that the Hotel was 1km from the airport....Well Fuck me Houston is the 4th largest city in the US and there's like 19 airports.  So long story short I have to go pick him up like an hour away at 10:30pm last night, haha!  Thankfully I don't drink so I was able to go get him.

So last night was a good chill time catching up with my bro about old times and all that sappy shit. So we get up this morning and it's all business...He shaves my back and tell him that people don't notice that he's a red head and we have a good morning.It's 198 degrees here so we go to wallymart and pick up some sun tan lotion and start the day. Lotion application school was on bitches!!!!!!!!

I start my morning like I normally do ( watch the video) and it's goes from there.  Luckily I have Daish aka PooPoo, aka George lucas, aka speilberg, aka awesome and video is rolling.( watch the video)

Other than that it's been a pretty normal day, I weighed myself and it's not good news, we are burnt from the brutal sun and hiding from mexican...Good times.

Anyways that's it for now, PooPoo is a great partner after days of bein alone..Thanks Nat for letting me have him, I mean I had him before, but whatever, he asked for it...I mean forget it.

Life really does suck(watch the video)...haha SMB

p.s. we met these two black cowboys in the elevator and I begged them to take me down and tie me up with a cell phone charger while PooPoo taped..They wouldnt do it, but they were here in competition for the rodeo, so it's probably better for me that way!!

Bob

Hey Ya'll

Ok so I'm now in Houston, Tx.  Wow what a huge friggin city it's insane to drive from one end to the other, Takes forever.  But fuck it I'm here!

I Know, I know no new videos this week, I'm working on it.  It's been nothing but driving and more driving and the odd drink...Not neccessarly in that order! 

So spent two nights in Little Rock Arkansas, what a hoot that place was.  It was a great place to spend St Patty's.  Met some sisters at the hotel and they ended up giving me a shout later in night to hook up for some drinks.  Luckily I was randomly meeting people going bar to Bar...They were a hoot and we might have all drank a little too much.  They were on spring break so doing a little traveling, I'm sure they had some big heads the next morning, haha..

Last night I was in Shreveport Louisiana, yeah I know! WTF...I liked it though, it was a pretty cool place, the Highway getting there diverted a little so there was a little back road driving and that was funny shit.  I had the laugh with the windows up of course.  I was having flash backs of deliverance and possibly having to squeel like a pig. It was my favorite Hotel so far cause they had a free booze for guest from 5-7, so went to the lobby and met some people there.  Ended up boozing with a Guy called Austin and he was from Houston.  Good guy and I saw him pound back like 18 beer...Poor bastard had a meeting at 7am, haha..

I also found out some new information about Canada....Supposedly we have actually bridges for Moose and Deer over the highways...That's good to know!

So I'm now in Houston and thank god for the Tom Tom GPS, I never would have made it for sure. I would have ended up in the Baillou wrastling Gators for my life without it.  PooPoo is coming tonight and he arrives at around 9:30pm.  I'm pretty excited to have him here for the rest of the trip.  We got alot of driving ahead of us for the next 7 days to Cali.  I guess it takes like 12 hours to get across Texas alone.  So we're here for a few days, then Sunday in Austin, tx..Where I should be able to get some stage time..(video's to come).  then we head to El Paso then Phoenix, AZ...

I wish I would have done a better job booking places but on the flip side it would be tough to do a show every night.  I seem to drive an average of about 5 hours each day and I'm pretty spent after that.  I know that's pussy talk, but in and out of Hotels everyday is not that easy.  Plus I have a ridicoulous amount of clothes and other shit that I have to lug in and out with me in fear of having it stolen from the Hummer. God knows they are easy to get into.....

So that's about it for now, I'm sure Daish will kick me in the ass a little and hopefully we can get some good footage, keep me going on the site/blog, etc.

Anyways rock on,

Bob

Nashville/Memphis last few nights.

Firstly sorry for the big gap between posts...It's been busy.

Well actually I don't about how busy but alot of driving and checking into hotels and maybe trying to find time for a cocktail in between all of that.

Another great friend was up with me for the last few days, Pete Bougadis.  this was a pretty fun few days.  he flew into St Louis and we did a little partying there.  We stayed at a nice hilton but were warned that don't stray to far to the left as it's not the best area, but the hotel was beautiful.  So we went and partied it up that night and probably heard the best live band ever...Wow they were great. It was a good night and the Grand Marniers that they served were crazy. The next day we worked on some material and took it easy.  It's weird the restaurants were all ok to smoke in so that was really crappy.  We went to one place for dinner and it was cloudy from the smoke, I assume this is what a chineese underground poker hall would look and smell like.  We left that shithole.

So then the next day we headed to Nashville.  Wow what a beautiful city, it was awesome.  So I did a set at some shifty little bar that the cab driver didnt even know where it was...Too funny, oh and the Driver was really hard to understand and he was eating his dinner on a regular plate while driving..Never seen that before.  So the Club was really small and wasn't a comedy club but a bar and grill, haha...Yeah I know!  The MC said that alot of people were showing up and we should stay, so we did.  There was probably 40 people there and 20 were open mikers...Weird.  I did my thing and they looked at me pretty weird.  I was 3rd on and the first two people didn't do good at all, but koodos for them for trying. So I knew what I was looking at.  It was brutal, I did get some laughs but I think because they were all fending for themselves it was tough.  Pete said I was the best up there but he has to say that!  I got over it really quick.  The people were nice but wow thankfully there are clubs that are meant for just comedy after that. Some people were singing, reading poems and others just looked like a dear right before hitting them with your car.  

So we left there and took in some of the nightlife...Wow was an awesome city, I really liked it. We got suckered into going to a strip joint and sold me on the idea that I have to bring my own booze.  I'm not gonna get into too much details, but it was heaven.  We brought a box a beer and they put it in a bucket of ice for us and that was it...Again very weird.  If this was in Ottawa I probably wouldn't have left.  Actually I probably wouldn't be alive...haha.

Ended up in Memphis last night and had a quick peak of Graceland.  I don't know pretty rough town around that area, but still cool to see it.  I was hoping to find a 5x white elvis suit to wear but no such luck.  I could just imagine how awesome my package would look in white spandex...

I was great having Pete with me but I now found someone worst at singing than my cousin Patrick, holy shit Pete give it up.  You have no idea what 10 hours in a car with someone singing every song, but not knowing more than 4 words combined.  It was soo funny, he is a good hummer tho! That sounded bad. Ok he humms them ok I guess.  Oh and he needs to pee like a girl, every 9 miles, haha It's the 19 gallons of coffee that he drinks.  But man it was soo good that he was able to make it, with a pregnant wife at home and all that...Thanks Pete and Ellen...

I'm now in Little Rock, Arkansas...It's pretty nice so far, and it's St Pattys so might have to check out more.

I will be alone this week until PooPoo arrives on friday in Houston, but it will be good for some alone time.  I'm gonna download like 4000Gigs of porn and walk around naked...Might even do a full body shave, we'll see the sky's the limits.

But seriously it will be good to write some new jokes, work on my worst site ever and figure out what's next for me.  Im heading to Louisiana on wednesday, so that will be cool, I always wanted to try crawfish.

So that's about it for now, I'll try to be better with the daily posts..

Peace

Bob

Last night in St. Louis!

What's up party people??

It's with mixed emotions that I write this cause Yvan and I had a great night in St Louis, but I'm sad to see Yvan leave.  He was a great help this week and I'll miss him, thanks Bud.

So I spoke to Al Canal from the Comedy Forum over a month a go and he agreed to add me in his line up for the evening.  So we arrived and he did just that.  What a beautiful club and a great guy.  He's been in the Comedy industry forever and knew alot of Comedy.  He let me on as the 2nd act and the crowd was really into it.  The Mc did a great job and announced our game plan with the documentary.

After a few times doing it now I realized that every crowd is different and that changes from city to city or state to state.  But it was a fun crowd that seemed to like to drink alot so that is really cool.  I got some good laughs and a good cheer once it was all done.  So that was cool.

The bonus of the night was the feature and Headliner.  The Feature was Mike Brody(www.mikebrody.com) and the headliner was Mike Merryfield (www.mikemerryfield.com).  Both these guys were hilarious and I could only aspire to be as good.  The bonus though was that they were both willing to stick around at the end of the night and be interviewed by me.  Firstly I interviewed Mike B and he gave me some good advice about how I hold the mike.  Now that I watched my set I get it...So thanks Bud...Then I got to interview Mike M and that was hilarious.   He said fuck it and got all the comics on stage for a little round table.  It was insane.  So we had Both Mike's, another funny comic, who I will touch on later and the Al the Club Manager(wearing a post 1700's egyptian dress...) all on stage talking about comedy.  Wow what a great 20 minutes or so.  I really enjoyed that, so thanks guys.  We all ribbed each other a bit but laughed alot.  We did film it all and I'll post some clips of it.

The other comic that I mentioned was Bill Davis.  He's been doing comedy for about 3 years and he's 70 years old.  Yeah he was a blast(and drove us home).  He's so inspiring and proved that you can do comedy at any age.  He says that he's using comedy to get away from the wife for a night, but he's meant for it.  He retired from Real estate and said that he always wanted to try it...Good for him.  Thanks for the ride Bill.

So all in all a successful night. They laughed at me cause I was driving across the US in a Hummer doing stand up, and explained that it takes years to start making money..I get it, and I know that I have a rough ride ahead...But I'll keep at it to try to get White Lake, Orleans and Navan on the map...

Pete Bougadis is coming in today and should be here any second.  I don't think he knows what hotel I'm at.  I might have said the wrong Hilton cause there's two within a few miles..but I'm sure we'll figure it out.  This is gonna be a funny weekend with him.  He's probably the funniest guy I know and was a big reason for me doing this comedy thingy..

Thanks for caring...

Bob

Last night in Cayuhoga falls, Oh

Holy shit what a night!  We had a blast, met some really cool people and partied like it was 1999.

So I did a set at the funny stop, which was a pretty cool place.  The Crowd was a little rough, but I worked through it.  It was an amature night which was alright cause I got to see other people in the same boat.  The owner Pete couldn't have been any more accomodating and introduced me to alot of people.  It was a popular spot and alot of famous people worked there.  It was where Steve Harvey did his first set and where Tim Allen figured out his niche with the whole grunting thing...So that's awesome. 

The Local Dj was the Host and he was a hoot as well.  We got some good footage and interviews afterwards.  The owner approached me and asked me to sign the back wall of the stage of Comics.  That was really cool that he asked me cause I was the only comic he asked that night.  He was impressed that it was only my third or fourth time on stage.  Alot of people approached me afterwards with comments and they seemed to all like the act. 

The Club was attached to another Bar and the bartender Jodi(probably one of the sweetest cute girls Ive ever met) came up and said she loved it.  We then spent the night in her Bar..So Yvan and I got to hang with the locals and they couldn't have been any nicer.  Yvan even got approached by a dude and he said"Not to sound queer or anything but you are pretty" I almost died and gave me jokes pretty all day for our 5hr drive to Indianapolis today.

We are here in Indy now and taking it easy tonight after the shit show last night. Going through some jokes and updating things.  I uploaded a little piece from the set too.  I know it's short but I can't throw all my jokes online..Gotta keep that for later.

Anyways the trip has been amazing so far but it's tough living out of suitcases, I've been staying at Hampton Inns and they have all been great, Thanks Nuala!

Got a show tommorrow night in St Louis and looking forward to it for sure.

Yvan is heading back to Sudbury on Friday morning at 6:30am..yeah I know..that's crazy, can't wait for the 4am drive to the airport.  Pete Bougadis is flying in on Friday afternoon, so that will be another crazy week.

Jeff was going to come after that, but backed out today due to work issues.  It's too bad we would have had a blast in Tennessee and Louisiana, Texas..but I understand.  Bummer tho. 

Gotta go, the three pounds of ribs that I had are needing to escape..

Peace out, Thanks for reading! Missing everyone back home.

Rocking In Dayton, Ohio

What's up Party people??

So just finished a set in Dayton Ohio at the famous Wiley's comedy club, and it went really Good.  I'm actually pretty pumped now and thinking that I like this comedy thing.

The day started off a little crazy, cause when we pulled into town a Severe Tornado warning was on so that was a little nutz.  I wanted to bolt myself to the Hotel, whereas Lee wanted to chase the motherfucker down...No Thanks.  Luckily it missed us cause I could do some major damage if I lifted off and thrown into shit.  My weight alone would wipe out a small city.

So we left and got a little lost but made it just in time.  They let us right in and upon entering we knew that this was a Comedy Club in it's rawest form.  Signed pictures of Stars everywhere and the owner is a comic who writes for the Bob and Tom Show.  This is the place that I was looking for from day one.  Wow just amazing.

It was surprisingly busy for a Sunday night, but I now know why after watching the Headliner John McDonnell from LA.  He was hilarious. I could watch him go for hours. He's a great comic with over 40 television appearances.  I told him what I was doing with the tour thing and he wished me luck before going on stage.

The set went actually really well, I missed a few jokes but I got my point across and the audience seemed to really to enjoy it.  As a matter of fact after my set alot of people approached me to say that they really liked it.  Right after my set John pulled me aside in the lobby and congratulated me.  That was really nice and I couldn't thank him enough.  Lee was able to record some of the little interview that we had so that was great.

All in all a successful night and made some great contacts,  I got to speak to some other local comics and they couldn't be any nicer. Wow I really like this shit...I just gotta keep writing.

The only Bummer is that it's Lee's last night with me and he couldn't have been more helpful and supportive.  He's been amazing at making sure I do my duty and Blog, etc...he's the best wingman a friend can have....Thanks bud.  

He's flying back tommorrow and another friend Yvan is meeting me in Cleveland.  A busy week is ahead and I'm excited.

Thanks for Reading...SMB

Peace

Bob

Highlight of it all!

So I'm sitting in the room last night about 7:15pm completing my last blog when I get a call from Lee saying that while out for a walk he was able to get his hands on the last two tickets to the Cheech and Chong show. 

I couldn't say yes quick enough and sprung up like a morning erection to get ready.  The problem that the show was at 8pm and it was a few miles away.  Cabs are not swarming like in Philly so we took our chance and got the front desk to call one.  What generally would take 30 minutes was 10minutes and we were off.  We arrived to a sea of people and there was a certain Buzz in the air, literally!!

Then it all happened...We get to our seats and there is a "little person" sitting below under me.  I would normally say midget, but she mentioned that she didnt like that word so I'll use Little person.  As we sit, she sort of turns around and shows us a picture of her and Cheech and Chong in the Gym at her hotel.  Really, This is amazing.  I know, I know your probable thinking, I should give up cause I can't beat that...Well then she gives us Business Cards, and Guess what?? She is a Stripper!!! Not just a Stripper, but Little Sassy Cassie at a proud 2'10 Tall.  

She was really nice person and talked to us for a bit.  She gets to travel alot doing this show and was in Toronto once for a Little Person Convention. And for those that know me and My Father...We are Jerry Sringer fans and she was on the show 9 times....I repeat 9 times. She mentioned special shows like Midget Madness, etc..So bascially I'm in Heaven I can't beleive this is happening. The Stars were obviously aligned and should have bought a lottery ticket, I couldn't have lost....

Here is a picture of me kneeling beside her in the theater..Enjoy!!!

Economic times In Lancster!

Alright so I'm not good at all this administrative stuff and booked a hotel in Lancaster, PA.  There was a comedy club and they advertised an Open Mike night on Thursday nights.  I figured it's between Pittsburgh and Philly which worked out perfect.  Well Perfect is far from what happened.

Due to Economic times the Comedy club was only open friday and saturdays. The Town is primarily Amish and I even seen a horse and buggy strolling down one of he main streets.  I have to admit the people were soo nice and Hotel was nice so no complaints there.  But what to do, what to do.  We actually found a pretty cool Bar and luckily it was Karaoke night, so that's good for a laugh.  We got a little out of hand I guess cause it was $2 Bar shots.  That's dangerous in my world.  Lee and I had a little spat, but we kissed and made up and drove the next 4.5 hours with big heads.

In a town of all farms what do we do, so we find an audience.  The crowd was tough but I worked through it.  A little heckling started happening but a simple "shhhhhh" worked just fine from Lee.  We were scared of being shot so it's short..Gotta take a look at it, I call them a Shamwows with feet.

We are now in Pittsburgh and wow what a beautiful city.  I'm trying to get some stage time tommorrow night but I do have a set on sunday.   

I'll let you know how it goes!

Peace

First Set in Philly!

So I had my first set last night and it turned out ok.  

I've read from comedy books that it could take up to 100 times on stage to be comfortable and I believe it. See one of the biggest fears that people have is standing on front of an audience and I believe that too.  

I was at Helium Comedy club and it was actually pretty busy for a tuesday night.  I got a spot on 3rd in the lineup and was pretty fucking nervous for sure.  We spoke to the Manager and he was a great guy and let us Film it too.  So that was awesome.  

Sitting in the Green room with two other new comics was awkward, but I tell ya, One dude in there was peaking.  He was freaking out and I thought for sure he was gonna puke.  I wasn't there but can see why he was losing his mind. It's scary, it really is. Bad enough having to stand in front of people but then add having to make them laugh is a whole different thing.  I've trained big groups of people in past jobs but that's just relaying information to them.  Having to remember your set, trying to be animated and overall funny while people are looking up at you is nutz.  Luckily I liked it, cause I can see how people try it once and give it up for good.

The set itself like I said went ok, the start was better than the end, but overall a success for my first time in front of a strange crowd.  I am looking forward to my next set.  I should have kept to the material that I know well, but tried something different.  Not too sure why, but I eventually have to use it all, and always having to change and adapt as I go.  

I hope to get into another club tonight, but man it's far away and seeing as I am stuck downtown Philly, the Hummer is stored in the craziest parking garage ever and I'm a little sick it might not happen.  But I hope it does.  

It was a great night, and I think it might be something that I'll want to do moving forward.  Do Comedians get laid?? If so then that will change I think it might be something to it is something that I will do forever.  Time will tell but so far so good.

Peace

Silly in Philly!

I know, I know..two posts in one day!  It's amazing, this should rate up there with Beer.  

So we made it the Philly, PA and so far are having a blast.  We got into town last night and decided to take in a little nightlife.  It was slow because of their storm of the century??? I don't know about that, but I can walk down the sidewalk and not get a soaker while wearing sandals.  There is barely no snow, but the town is pretty shut down.  It's kinda funny, but we didn't get any traffic at all and coasted into town like we were in the Kit Car.

I'm here for another two days and look forward to getting some stage time. I've got Lee Coburn with me, which is great cause he's as fucked as they get for thinking of silly crazy shit to do.  We're told to not go down in the subways at night from some couple at the bar, and were warned about some other areas, but other than that I like this town. Lee wants to challenge the subway theory but me not so much. 

The Declaration of Independance was signed here, and they have the statues to prove it, so were gonna go hang out with them today.  Maybe give them our stamp of approval.  Oh yeah guess what another ambulance is driving by, That's about all we heard all night.  It sounds like the end of a soccer match out here at night.

Anyways I'll keep you all in the loop and will post some video if I get some stage time.

Peace

The Ultimate Bash!

Wow, what can I say about the farewell bash that my family and friends pulled for me...I can sum it up in two words, "fucking awesome"

I have to admit, I had mixed emotions about the party.  It was great to get everyone together but at the same time it made me realize how many great friends/Family that I had and how much I was going to miss them all.  But Holy shit we drank an obscene amount of alchool.  I probably shouldnt say this, but I think the final tally was 16 bottles of whisky and 36 cases of beer, couple of cases of wine, plus all the other stuff...That's amazing, it's the kind of party that Kurt Cobain would have pulled for Robert Downy JR.

I was able to perform a short set for everyone and I was told that it was good...Hey for the first time, what the hell.  I was nervous as hell though I have to admit.  I personally think that every set from here on end will be easier than that one.  PooPoo did great as MC and my Dad the Lamer did a great job of Roasting me as did Pete the Greek and Corey the Kiwi. I'll get all you assholes back one day!

Anyways it was a success and I can't say enough about how great the party was and how much fun I had.  It was amazing, and thank you for everyone that showed up.

I expecially want to thank the organizers and of course everyone all the sponsors.  I will be posting a list of everyone that contributed shortly.

Thanks again, got to go and write another Blog about sitting here in Philly getting ready for a show tonight..

Peace
