Helium

This week has done so much reaffirm what direction I'm taking in my life. 5 shows, every one of them packed! Brian brings a great crowd, they are all super nice and friendly. The early Saturday show had a kind of older crowd though, they were still great it was just a noticeable thing.
    Thursday I did a set with material that I did not even have when I did the last weekend at Helium in November. I told a five minute version of my Jeff story, a story that I wrote specifically for the storytelling showcase. The Civil War section of it has gotten applause break every time I delivered it. It's the first piece of brand new material I'm really happy with I've made in the last month. Friday I did two sets that were mostly the same as the Thursday Sat. And then saturday I opened up with my liver transplant, into my long hair/crack material. Not my strongest stuff. Why? Because talking to Brian in the green room about life, that came up and he wanted to hear what I had to say about it on stage. He was actually listening to my sets which is awesome.
   Derek sheen was the feature and god damn it he is such a pleasure to work with. I consider him a good friend and I am glad to work with him. And of course Brian was amazing, super down to earth. We talked a lot in the green room about all types of cool stuff like horror movies, wrestling, weed. We smoked a lot of weed...I was in the green room till like 1 a.m. Saturday night shooting the s*** and it really felt great to have an icon like that talk to me as an equal.
