Gateway Show/5 Minutes to Midnight

    Last night I got to be a part of 2 fun showcases!
   1st up, the gateway show. Gateway Show is one of my faces and this is the first time I've done it in LA. The show was held at a small venue called echoes and had an audience of about 20 people. I had 2 pretty good sets and because I hadn't smoked all week I got pretty fucked up. I forgot a bunch of tags to a story but it all worked out.
   2nd show was a midnight showcase at Dynasty Typewriter, a beautiful theater space hosted by Ron Lynch. About 12 comics were on the show, each doing 5 minutes exactly. After 5, the lights go out. I had a great time there as well and saw some Portland buds.
   It felt great to do 2 shows and I feel like I'm getting back in the swing of things.

On Deck

    Last night I went to a show called On Deck. Its a baseball themed comedy show where 2 teams of 3 each go 9 rounds and get scored for their performances. Hard to explain but it works. Great show, o wasn't on it but insid see some of my portland friends for the first time since i moved here which was nice.

Wake and Bake

    Well hello everyone, it's been a while. I wish I had a lot of great news related to my comedy but honestly I have not been doing as much comedy lately. Been working as a delivery driver and work till 7, get off and am so tired its hard to go back out. Now I have gone to a lot of open mics but here a lot are lottery based and you're not guaranteed to go on. So far I'm 0/7 at the comedy store, 1/6 at west side comedy, and 0/4 at Icehouse. It's pretty sucky and demeaning to be honest and I've def been at my lowest a few time in the last months but I'm still feeling motivated and I'm not about to quit comedy any time soon.
   So last night I went to an open Mike called wake and bake and it's right down the road from my apartment so I could walk there . Got there at about 830 and signed up and watched the show that happens before open mic. Open mic starts at about 1030 but you have to sign up early, and the show is from 830 to 10.
     Show was pretty damn good and I got to see my good friend preacher! He came up to me wearing all his motorcycle gear and and helmet and bumped into me cause I couldn't recognize him trying to start some shit. I love that dude, in seeing him at this show was pretty cool. He was fantastic of course doing a lot of new shit and it was all dynamite.
    Then the open mic started and I went up at about 1115. I did 4 or 5 minutes and mostly bombed, fell really jagged and low energy up there. What a surprise, i had spent the last 3 hours at a pot store getting high and when I went up I did not crush it. No excuses though, I was just rusty and off.
    Regardless I am very glad I went out, I saw my friend, and I'll probably start going to that mic regularly on Sundays
