Well big time ignoring of the blog. Went to Vegas, started off really good and ended blah. Broke totally even, but lost $400 the 2nd to last night. My own fault. I grinded all day, played next to pefect after a somewhat cooler to start the day. Then got drunk all of a sudden and donated the money back at a wicked loose already table at Caesar's. The next night I ran awful, and somehow managed to loose another $1000. I should have stopped after I lost the first $500 but I figured it had to turn around. No such luck. Last hand I played, I lost $150 with kings vs aces.
When I got back I just hosted Winston's on Monday and Friday. Didn't do a set either night. Friday I met a girl, and things seem to be great, we'll see. Wednesday I did the Comedy Store. I went up second, there wasn't a huge crowd, but I think I did ok considering the circumstance. Thursday I did a small coffee shop. It was slightly awkward as there were people literally sitting 2 feet from me. I talked over them for a little while, trying to do jokes. They went meh. Some girl yelled about birthday sex, and I interacted with her for a bit. That was good.
Last night was the bday show. 3 people came for me, 3 frickin people. Not one person from work came. I'm somewhat deflated. I'm gonna go in late to work, and might not go at all. Mostly because I want to hang out with the girl, but I don't really want to talk to anyone from there. I need another break.

Ugh death of a funny man
Monday at the contest was pretty full actually. Nice change from last week. It started off slowly but picked up steam throughout. There was solid talent there. One of the dudes that I would consider a comic friend, did really well and got first place. My set was ok, voiced some new stuff, got some laughs. Even had someone write me in, as that Mclovin guy. The banter at the end was fun as always.
Wednesday I had a spot at the store because I helped out a few weeks back. I was expecting to go up late but they had me up 2nd for 6 minutes, when everyone else was doing 8. I was like WTF, as my roomie took forever to get ready so we were slightly late. Luckily I made it in time. Well, not really luckily as the set was rough. Probably one of the worst sets I've ever had. I've had worse sets, but not in a comedy environment, when I expected to do well. It was bad, and I kept losing confidence as the set progressed. It was depressing. I left the stage and just sulked for 10 minutes.
After that we headed to bar 11. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go up but decided it would be for the best. I basically did the same jokes, and had fun with the small audience. Even had some guys talk to me outside about how I stuck out. It felt pretty good. I did some drinking and asked the host to go up again at the end of the night. Normally I wouldn't do this, but the crowd was still there, so I was like, "Why not?" I just chatted it up with a few audience members, and was slightly rude to one. I don't know why I slip up and do that on occasion. Anyways, I think most people enjoyed it.
Last night was Winston's. It started off pretty slow as usual. But people started filtering earlier than usual. A lot of them were talking and it was a struggle to win them over. A few people did well, and the guy before me had a rough time but ended strong. I would say that was about the same for mine. My first joke was eh, but I picked up steam and got a few appaluse breaks. For a crowd like that, that's impressive. I felt like I did ok, I think the co host lit me a little early, but I ended strong enough and didn't feel the need to continue. The headliner was really funny and she's a real overall talent. She does jokes, sings, and raps. Most of the time I find that hacky, but she's a real crowd pleaser and I respect that.
