Helium
This weekend was a milestone moment for me. I come away from this feeling great about not just myself, but also my friends, my scene, and my peers who I have had the pleasure of working with over the years. Joey was phenomenal. Really inspiring to be with. The man lived in Seattle and was talking about shows in Bend and had a lot of local shit down...He knew the area and that was pretty great to hear about stuff close by. His crowd were amazing, really loud and into everything that was thrown at them....and everything was thrown at them this weekend!
I went through the entire weekend, all 5 shows and did not repeat a sing joke. Not one fucking joke. Seriously, not even a quick one liner. I did over an hour of material in those 5 shows and all 5 shows felt fantastic! I told 2 long form stories in the first Saturdy show that got a lot of good laughs and hits from only 2 stories.
I am writing this right now at 2 am directly after the 2 show Saturday and am still fucked up as shit from the edibles...Seriously heavy shit went down Saturday and it was all great. Zak fucking killed. K I L L E D. Best set I have seen in a while. From anyone. Period. Dude in the crowd yelled out some dumb shit and Zak handled that shit like a pro and played it off so well. So well. I wish that show was videotaped.
My sets all felt great but that last set tonight was fucking insane. I have not been that/this high in years...No joke. Zak and I stayed in that green room the entire show until like 1 am not fucking leaving. He's passed out on couch, Im pacing..just wanting to close the show well. (which I did) Everything went really smoothly tonight.
I'm just really happy with where things are for me right now. I want more. We always do. But right now with this week of shows (Dirty Dozen Roast Battle/Diaz) behind me, and more great sets in front of me...I feel good.
