After much deliberation, I decided to do the open mic night! I'm glad I did. I wouldn't say I did worse than everybody there. It was strange. This was one of the few times where I was nervous before I started, but it didn't make me compleatly blank. I did a fresh couple of jokes about the recent celebrity deaths, but forgot to do the tag of 'with all the celebrity deaths going on, I'm glad I'm only doing this on a stage THIS small' I considered taking Sam's joke about batman villans doing everyday things, but decided against it. So I did jokes about celebrity deaths, went on to talk about the Rickshaw job, did what I consider my classic 'Good Fu-King Chinese food' Then the light flashed, so I had one minute left, so I told the 'Chicken Walks into a Librairy' joke. I know, that's a JOKE joke, not standup, but I loves to tell it so...
After, I went and did a Rickshaw shift. Gave Lauren a free ride, and she must have given me luck or something, because I made $60 in 3 hours. It was pretty much non-stop. Drop, grab, go, repeat. Gave 2 girls the deal of 'I'll circle the park till your ride gets here for Fifty Cents a spin' Only got around twice, but they gave me $3. They were HOTT too. One from Scotland, so she had that cute accent n everything. Best part of the night thouh...Later in the shift, I arroused the interest of a group of three. One of which, after she began inquiry into my rig, suddenly asks 'Don't I go to school with you?' Turns out, she was a freshman at the same time as me, still going there, we just haven't had any classes together. She remembers me well...I don't remember her at all. But that's my memory for you all. What struck me...is that one of the first things she said after was 'You're a comedian! I saw you when I was a freshman. You're really funny!' And so I have her number. Cool! It's really amazing that something like that happens the night that I start doing standup again.
Needless to say that made me feel really good about myself. I might call her later this week, when I can actually drive. Speaking of driving, It's about that time for me to start riding to johnson to model. I MIGHT have been scheduled for the AM shift, but there were issues with me getting back to Morrisville in time for it, so I'll just play ignorance if I WAS supposed to be there in the AM. Either way, I hope to do my plan of study and pay the business office today, rehearsal tonight. Another day off tomorrow. Well deserved if I do say so myself.
BTW, I won a grill at Kareoke Night at Piecasso's because I was the only one willing to sing. Did Meatloaf's Bat Outa Hell, Being for the Benifit of Mr Kite, the Kareoke man was singing 'Whole Lotta Love,' so I jumped in with Snoop Dog's Drop it Like it's Hot lyrics while he sang that, since the Beats line up. I faked it of course, 'When the pimps in the crib gonna drop it like it's hot...when the mumble mumble attitude, drop it like it's hot...Got the Bolley on don with the go shandran and I'm rollin this weed cause I got it goin on...' yeah, I don't know the words, but I can mumble just like snoop. Sometimes I wonder if there are even words under that. Anyway, then a waitress who saw me sing Come Sail Away freshman year in my Cartman voice requested I do that song, sans voice. So I won a grill. It's still at the shop, because I didn't want to ride my bike with it. Can you blame me?
Anyway, Time to go.
