2010 quick recap

Winston's was dead Friday. I didn't really expect the headliner to bring anybody and that came true. I put faith in the 2 people I had promoting the show, and neither delivered. Both are definately in the lunatic category. One has been doing comedy for a long time, and is dreafully awful, yet thinks he's amazing. He plans to move to L.A. to focus on comedy, god these guys a nutjobs. The other guy has claimed he can bring people a few times. I gave him a chance and he didn't deliver. He made a poster about 3 weeks ago, and of course promoted back then and did nothing in the past week. People have no sense of reality. My set went decent. My friend brought 3 of her friends, and that was 25% of the crowd. I basically riffed and chatted for what I learned was 15 minutes. I'm getting more and more comfortable on stage, yet less confident with my jokes. I don't feel like telling them, andwhen I do I can't seem to get the rush from the laughs anymore. I kept trying to end on a high point but just couldn't get that big finish.

At the start of the show one of the comics asked me to talk to another one of the comics who felt I was ignoring him. I've discussed this individual before and feel our friendship slowly has dwindled away. He stormed out of the show when I didn't talk to him. I had been somewhat avoiding him since he took me off his monthly show. We talked for about 20 minutes yesterday about things. I realized I should have probably talked about my feelings long before. But I just felt if that's how he wants to be maybe it's just best to let the friendship go. I think we talked out our differences. I'm not sure what will come in the future but at least the hostility is put to rest, for now anyways.....

Well 2010 in comedy had some good points. Performing in Maine, getting to the finals of the comedy competition, and making more connections. I didn't reach my goal of getting regular at the store or the palace. But I really feel like I'm making headway at the store. I think one more year here, and then make the move up to NYC or L.A. I'd like to save a little more money and make some more connections before leaving. I think by then I would have done everything I could in San Diego, comedy wise.
