Caffe Sapore, San Francisco. They have the BEST food there! I had a chai tea and a breakfast flauta. What a great show! I had a killer set. I had so much fun! Deb Campo was there and unabashedly discussed her pastime. Peter Barlett was there, hadn’t seen him in a while. Boy is he bald.

Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24, 2005

Rooster T. Feathers, Sunnyvale. New cast. Still me as opener, but now Ryan Stout as feature (he got bumped up!) and Collin Moultin as headliner (he got bumped up!). (Wait, am I the only one that didn’t get bumped up?) These three shows were great. I had dinner at home both nights, which is why I can’t remember what I had. Anyway, it was a great time overall, and I had a blast with Ryan and Collin.

Thursday and Friday, July 21 and 22, 2005

Rooster T. Feathers, Sunnyvale. Headliner was Dan Lewis and Collin Moultin was the feature. I, of course, was the host. I had hotdogs and peanuts again. Both nights. It’s a balanced diet, if you are trying to balance hot dogs on one side of a scale and peanuts on the other. Okay, now to the show. I need to be delicate here. Dan Lewis is a great guy who can be VERY funny. I was on the phone with him while he was driving up, and he got cut off by a guy in a Miata and said, “I can’t even flip him the bird, ‘cause that would be a hate crime, ‘cause you know that guy’s gay.” I thought that was hilarious. However . . . during the shows Dan kind of rambled a little bit, and it was sort of uncomfortable. This happened Thursday and both shows on Friday. Collin was great, and I was doing really well. So that made Dan’s performance seem even sadder. I felt really bad.

San Jose Improv. Chicken Tenders and Bass Ale. Is the stage time really worth it? Maybe not. I get lots of love and support from my SFCC buds, but I get nothing from Improv bookers. When will I learn? One of the staff there was flirting with me big time. The thing about flirters is that they can become stalkers pretty easily in my experience. This has been the bane of my existence: Everyone falls in love with me. What can I do? So I don’t trust anyone who compliments me. I’m sure they have a hidden agenda.

Alano Club, Sunnyvale. This is a club for people who are in recovery. I guess there aren’t that many people in recovery in Sunnyvale. Either that or they really hate comedy. But, we didn’t care. We gave a show anyway, for the 4 people that did come out. And it was fun. Ryan Stout headlined. He’s going places. Wish I could tag along. I had dinner before I left the house. I think it was leftover pizza.

Tuesday and Wednesday, July 12 and 13, 2005

“Functional Insanity,” Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Club. A themed show with Andrew Norelli as the headliner and Jeremy Greenberg as the feature. I was the host, and also worked hard on the PR and marketing. Both days I worked before the show, so I just stuck around and had hotdogs and peanuts for dinner. It was a really good show ­ Andrew is really very good and will probably be really famous some day ­ but too bad the audiences just didn’t come out for it. My two best fans were there, though. And they sat right up front!

Cobbs Comedy Club, San Francisco. Yeah! I beat the lottery system and got some stage time at Cobbs. Still only 5 minutes, but not the first one. I’m moving up! I had some calamari for dinner, but just 7-Up to drink. I was exhausted! Sandy Stec also went up, so we carpooled. It was a great show, but the closing act was a team of jugglers. That’s right, jugglers. I don’t want to talk about it any more.

Monte Carlo restaurant and nightclub, Mountain View. I ate at home, and the meal was not memorable. Kinda new room in downtown Mountain View. Great big room with a really interesting décor including flaming walls. Too bad that there wasn’t much of an audience. I’m sure it will pick up though, because this is a really fun room. Unfortunately, I had to follow a “comedian” who spends a lot of time discussing his male organ of sexual intercourse (that’s Webster’s definition). I’m pretty sure this guy hasn’t had sexual intercourse with another human being in quite some time. I worry for his pets.

More dinners . . .
