Gene's blog of things that he has probably blogged about elsewhere.

First night of the new format, lottery style!

It's a good idea that, now it needs to be combined with a locked down 5 minute or 3 minute slot and it'll be even better. Meghan Parks is a good host and kept things moving. She's funny too.

My set went as well as a three minute workout could, which is to say too short. Although I got some ideas on honing in on one of my jokes.

Also I had chips and salsa and stuffed mushroom tapas, so I had that going for me. ...

Wait I did do some things. I went to Triclops, did not go up but stayed for Andrew Orvedahl and April Richardson and Raj Desai's sets at the booked show. Odd odd night. The room was decorated for a drag show with a huge glittery sign that said "Glamor" at the back of the stage. Weird.

I’ve been working on the ragged edge for a while now, doing shows, seeing shows, writing, partying, open-mic’ing and now the bill has come due in the form of Val Kilmer in Tombstone-esque ...

Did a ten minute set at Gardner Stages for Jon Durnell and Zach Ames show.

I fucked up my setlist order and couldn't get back into the rhythm of the thing so I read from my setlist. It made for awkwardness but better than fucking shit up, I suppose.

Ah well. Good responses from the audience and I did a little crowd work. Zach and Jon taped the sets as well as my buddy Eric, so there'll be video at some point. My wife was there and it was fun to make fun of her in the ...
