Winston's, Store, Podcasts

Wednesday was Winston's. It was slightly slower than usual, and 2 of the comics were late, and one didn't show up until the show was over. Thursday was the Comedy Store. I went up kinda late after an LA pop in basically took a shit on stage for 12 minutes. I had somewhat of an awkward start, called someone out for being a bad tipper, to which he got completely embarrassed. I then had to struggle with some hecklers, but I think I made it out ok. One of my gf's friends said they saw me and said I killed it. Who knows if he was just being nice, but he didn't have to say anything. Friday during the day I did a podcast with my gf. We went into the hardships of our relationship and being an artist and managing a relationship. I said some nice, honest things and she pretty much complained about me. I was asked what my 5 year plan was, to which I don't really have one. I don't think in this field it's smart to make hard goals. Comedy takes time, and I'm content where I'm at. We got into my alcoholism. It was pretty uncomfortable. But it obviously needs to be addressed. I don't know if it's mind over matter, but my liver has been feeling swollen and uncomfortable. I should get checked out, but I just don't want to hear the verdict. I'm going to really make a conscious effort to only drink 2 days a week. Friday night was Winston's. We started really late. I guess I need to be there right at 6, in order to make sure the show actually starts. Sometimes those guys are too lax. Someone joked about me not having a problem being too nice. It's tough when we have time restraints. I chose to not do a set. It was half being a pussy and half because we were over time. Saturday I worked the show at the Store. The headliner was Chris Porter. It's pretty neat because I watched him on last comic standing when I had aspirations of being a comic and now I'm closing out the show and shaking his hand. Things are coming full circle. He was pretty funny, and had an original take on a lot of subjects. He came kinda angry, but I liked it. The feature was there a few weeks back and is also witty. The opener was awkwardly not good. It was uncomfortable to watch. I just don't get how she has been passed at the LA Store. She just talked a bout being a skank. But she looks so young, it made everyone uneasy.
