Clean and sober

So I did Lestat's again last night, the place I must not use swear words. My name got drawn....FIRST! Hell ya. That made me feel grrrreat. I wasn't going to go up if I got a late spot. I went up at like 7:30. When I first started I never drank before going up. Now with running Winston's and getting free drinks I often have a few beers before going on. It definately makes me more comfortable and engergenic. I think I am still funny sober, I am just a lot drier. I don't really feel nervous I don't think, the jokes are simply a little more choppy. I paused a few times, and I played it off well. Just little stumbles that I don't make after a few beers. I think I did pretty well. I tried my new Smokey the Bear joke and that had a good response. There's no bigger rush than having a new joke work. Like I've said before this is mostly a music open mic. I did pretty solid, and some dude actually said "Good shit man," as he was leaving. People that arn't comics, or entertainers in general, do not realize how much that means to us. As many of you know from reading the blog I'm an overall negative/ pestimistic person. Any compliments are greatly appreciated.

After the show, I went to the gym, then met up with the girl from the previous evening at the same bar. They have a trivia night and she is a fan. They're trivia night is much more intense than the one at Winston's. At Winston's we announce the question, they give you a sheet of paper with about 25 questions, and there's only 3 rounds as opposed to our 7. It kind of makes things less fun and social. I didn't really get a chance to talk to her at all. It is a little weird because it appears she dates or used to date the host guy. Kinda feel she may still like him a bit. I think I'm already just placed in the friend zone. Oh well. We did talk about going to dinner or something when she returns from her new Year's trip, although she did say "I'm still going to quiz you though." I have no idea what that means. She is amazingly cute. I established last night she kind of looks like a SD female comic and one of my comic buddies gf. Not sure that's weird or not. Anyways, I just kept looking at her and thinking, "Man she's adorable." Is it gay for a late 20's dude tell a gal, "You're cute as a button." Don't worry I didn't, but that phrase kept going through my head. I never really understood what that meant anyways. Button are not cute, and if they are like my buttons they will fall off within a month and I'm so cheap I'll keep wearing the shirt anyways. Well enough girl stuff.

Sunday night I facebook chatted with a fellow comic. He is newer than me, and I like helping people out. I gave him some advice when he first started and not too pat myself on the back but he took the advice and got better. He has been getting better and better but within the past month I noticed a change. He is black and that seems like the only thing he wants to talk about. I really can't stand that stuff. I mean don't get me wrong Chris Rock obviously much funnier than me, but if he was white how famous would he be. Watch his hour specials, take out any joke that talks about being black, and how long of a special do you have. Anyways I told the dude in the nicest way that I noticed he's doing it, and hoped he'd just focus on being funny. He seemed to take it well, but I texted him yesterday and didn't hear back. Hope he's not made, he's a good dude and I think has potential to be a solid comic. Maybe I should stop giving advice as who the hell am I anyways.
