Sitting at the Greyhound station in El Paso about to head back home. I hate people who always have to talk, its like they get freaked out if its quiet for two seconds. Shut the fuck up lady. And there's a poster it says, "When the Globetrotters travel, they go Greyhound." Its probably because they all work there. And that explains why they only play one game a week, takes a few days just to get to the next city. I think they call it Greyhound because their time is like dog time.
Thursday night was my last time performing at Howies in Albuquerque. Its been a great venue the last couple years and I never had a bad show there. Thursday we had a great lineup-Roger Peterson, Brett Hiker, Joe Quesada, Sarah Kennedy, me and Matt Peterson. Show was great! Everyone of the comics rocked, Brett and Joe have really come a long way since we used to do shows at The Tavern. Only flaw of the night was the heckling. I've been doing comedy almost ten years and I've dealt with hundreds of hecklers, they don't bother me, unless the hecklers are other comics. There was also a guy who is looking to start up a weekly comedy show in town at a venue I'm not going to promote here, but I am gonna guess he's not going to get any of the good local comics on the lineup, good luck buddy. He was on his phone for the first part of the show, and heckled a little bit during as well. Like I said the heckling doesn't bother me, but if you're looking to do a local comedy show, don't piss off the comics. They finally left during Matt's set and he did some pretty funny rants about the trio of douches. Matt should rant more often, it was hilarious! And by the end of his set his hair looked like Bill Murrays at the end of "Kingpin."
Friday I headlined the Federal Courthouse Bar in El Paso. Had a solid lineup of comics, Tim Schultz from Nashville featured, he was great! Him and I rode down together with Dave Graham, a very funny comic from El Paso who happened to be in Albuquerque the night before. It was my first time following a guitar act, it was fun. Sam and Alex(I forgot his last name, its on the flyer though) both did great. I worked with Alex last year, he's improved a lot. Patrick Candelaria stopped in to check out the show, too, it was great to see him. I did a midwest run with him last year.
Last night the show was at House of Rock, a music venue. Good size venue, it would be cool to catch a concert there. Sam was the host again, but I missed his set. The opener was a magician, he was pretty entertaining, not a big fan of magic, but it was good for the show, had a lot of different styles of comedy. Aleks with a K featured, he's always funny. I had a fun set, didn't get to do a full headline set, they had a band booked after our show, so I had to get off stage at 10. I always like coming to El Paso, crowds are always great. They don't buy merchandise though, maybe I need to record a cd in Spanish.
This week I am back at Wits End featuring! Working with my good buddy Dante and his lady, Rebekah Kochan. Looking forward to it!
