No More Break
Music right now: One Step Beyond - Madness
How the heck could I forgot this as the ECW-TV promo music? I just remember those long bouts of phone numbers, t-shirt order hawking, video tape promotion, etc. set to this tune...staying up 'til 1 AM to catch its airing in my area on the now-defunct PASS Sports.
We saw Jay Leno perform Saturday at Soaring Eagle. I've never seen the casino so packed. People everywhere, with long lines at coat check, the buffet, and a huge bottleneck when it came close to show time. It was a fun 90 minute set, ruined a bit by obnoxious people who yelled "TURRRRRN IT UPP!" like it was a Skynyrd concert of something. I stayed with John & Ken into Sunday, eating grinders and doing wrestling commentary.
When I went to leave, Ken told me Richard Jeni had died. It threw me for a loop. I wouldn't consider myself a fan of his in the least, but I saw a special of his on Comedy Central and liked it, saw him on "Match Game," all of that. He seemed like one of those "comic's comics" and pretty well-adjusted. But you can't help but notice he's really "only" been a comedian all this time, despite how many tickets he's sold, and how many times I've caught commercials for him performing in town on the affiliates. It's just awful.
That basically does it for my Spring Break. Temperatures have been wonderful, so driving's really fun again. Got here and unpacked with little effort, and am now just procrastinating in the face of making an appointment for that field interview and looking over history notes/powerpoints. Just a scant few weeks from WrestleMania, everybody. Whoo.
