Busy week of shows

So the Winston's contest launched to a small turnout. One of the people I expected to bring people, brought one person. There was about 8 or so humans. There was a crazy heckler there for a half hour or so. Yelling Easy E, Ice Cube, and The bartender is hot!! Very strange. The comics he did harass handled it pretty well. Had 3 no shows. Two people let me know, one just didn't show at all. Kinda of angers me as there were still people that wanted to join. I expect to be the same shady turn out for this week as well.

Thursday was the Store. I was scheduled 2nd to last. I went up, started off pretty solid, but lost the audience somewhat. It was tough as there was a lot of talking but I think it was more people talking to the waitresses about closing their tabs. I tried to just chug along, but it was some what distracting. I would say it went ok, just nothing special.

Friday was Winston's. The headliner brought a lot of people. The show started late as the sound booth was recently moved. The crowd talked a lot during most people's sets. I decided to not go up.

Saturday I had a show in a hotel. I wasn't expecting much of a crowd and was slightly hesitant to have one of my coworkers go to the show. It turned out to be a pretty decent turnout. 30 or so but they were quiet. Definately not an easy crowd but I was happy with my set. Had some people say I did the best on the show. The headliner was an L.A. guy, been on Comedy Central, but really wasn't great. I guess he was complaining that he didn't want to be there, and even said it on stage. I don't get why people accept a booking if they're going to half ass it.

Poker is going god awful. Lost about 3k in the last month. Just getting so unlucky it's really emotionally draining. I have lost 1k online playing crazy omaha. But most of the losses are huge pots lost due to rediculous bad beats on the river.
