Countdown till 2007
Heres a recap.
Thursday night I ended up blogging while I was in line for the Cage Match happening at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It was Hot Sauce vs. Hammerkatz. The Hammerkatz were funny but Hot Sauce was really fall down funny. The scores ended up being Hammerkatz 25, Hot Sauce 90. I did see Philip but he was working at the Theater that night. It looks like we plan on getting together for the performance at the PIT on Wednesday.
Friday, I had to head back up to the Apple store because the iSkins I bought for my iPod were too big. They were meant for a 80 Gig iPod and I have a 30 Gig. I meant one of my friends in the area and we walked around the APple store for a bit and I returned my merchandise. Later we hung out at my house. I went to get a ladder at Home Depot because one of my lights were out and then after that we went to Lasagna for dinner. After dinner we headed back to my place and watched some movies.
Saturday I got up for brunch and me and another friend went to a local restaurant. I slacked around the apartment until 6pm when we decided to go to Dave and Busters to have dinner and play some Skee-Ball. Well the place was packed with every little kid from Manhattan along with a tremendous amount of tourists. I guess it's because a holiday weekened. I always thought Dave and Busters was 21 and up anyway. We went to ask for a table and they told us it was going to be an hour and half. We thought we would try to have fun anyway. I do have to say all of the staff there was rude and I really felt like complaining. It was a real shock to have been at the Apple store and everyone there is polite and helpful, while the Dave and Buster's staff in Times Square is the worst.
We waited an hour and we played some Skee-Bal. It took us a while to get on any game but one we did it was fun. We had some drinks but they were pricey of course. We went back to the hostess to ask for our table since it was an hour and twenty minutes already. She stated we were quoted an hour and half so it would be an hour an half. We waited and sure enough no table, we left and eneded up eateing at Blue Moon. Tourists suck.
Today along with other days I have been waking up early which proved to be a problem last night. I eneded up being so tired I went to sleep and midnight. As you can see this can pose a problem for tonight. I guess a plan it to get in a nap before I go out tonight. I might go out to get some CD albums to hold my DVDs I have burned and copied. I did join a new DVD service which I have been copying the DVDs too and it's so worth it but now I need a place to store them all.
If I don't see you tonight, I wish you a Happy New Year and I will see you in 2007.

I know... I haven't updated my blog
So right now I am waiting outside of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It is cold and they are running late. Phlip was supposed to be her but I have not seen him. I thought that Max and Alaina would have shown up but no.
Last night I ended up skipping my performance at the PIT and I texted Phlip about my plan. He ended up agreeing that it might not be a good idea to waste our energy. I ended up just watching movies and hanving dinner with a friend.
Today I went to the Apple store to get a new iPod. I got the iPod and some accessories. One of which has the wrong thing, the other was a recorder got the iPod. This has an external mic input which will be good for recording interviews at AVN for secondary audio.
My birthdaycon is less than two weeks away and I am excited. I hope it ends up being larger than last year. Tomorrow I am going to slack with the exception of returning stuff the the Apple store. I need to buy a ladder too.

Twas the day after Christmas
Yesterday was fun. I went over to Alaina's house for Christmas. We watched some TV, had a grat Christmas dinner and drank some tasty wine. Toward the end of the evening we were watching the movie Miami Vice but I either couldn't get into it or it was really bad.
Today was very slow. I ended up not sleeping well and being up very early morning. I ended up ordering food delivery consisting of chicken fingers, a burger and onion rings. I went to the post office to try to send out a package. When I got to the post office, it was empty. I got to the window and the guy told me they were closing soon. I then realized I had no idea what the address I was shipping to. I had to head all the way back home with this package.
Tomorrow I will attempt to go to the post office again. I plan on having dinner with a friend. Possibly watch a movie or two. I believe my team is performing tomorrow also at the PIT. We'll find out tomorrow.

No White Christmas, feeling like a minority
Merry Christmas everyone. TBS is running the 24 hours of Christmas Story. Channel 11 played the Yule Log this morning and I took pictures which are now on my website. I am currently on my way to Alaina's to have Christmas dinner with Max and Alaina.
I made copies of Pirates and Clown Porn for one of my friends. I also was copying this weeks movies. I didn't remember Mission Impossible II well, so I got that from Netflix, it sucked, it put me to sleep. I got Fame and I forgot what a good drama it is. The last was Deep Evil which is a SciFi movie, didn't watch it yet.
Tomorrow I have to head to the post office and the bank. Its also like two weeks till birthdaycon. I have to send out some emails.
Not a salute to Techno but James Brown Died Today

Where the f*** is Teddy Ruxpin?
I was just watching a commercial for a new Fisher Price stuffed bear product. I am wondering why we don't have the old ones still around but updated. Kids that play with the old ones wouldn't notice that its a product for the 70's or something.
Thursday night I met Harold at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to see the Swarm. The Swarm was so funny. After the show I met Tim in line for Horatio Sanz Christmas Show. It was ok and had its moments, best part was creepy guy reading his poetry. I went to Revival later and saw Devin, Dave and Melanie.
Friday, not the best morning but I got through it. One of my friends was getting out of work early. We hung out at my house and watched a movie and then caught some dinner in the neighborhood. It was Ria's birthday party so we headed over to the Boulevard Tavern.
Last night I went to Alaina's Christmas party. In attendance : Bill, Anna, Gustav, Max, Christina, Julia, John, Will and others. The party was fun with losts of wine and the weirdest was to come. At one moment, someone came to talk to me about Bill not being so happy or something and he needs talking to. I had no idea what was going on. Then Bill came out of the kitchen and into the living room, throwing baby carrots at his ex-girlfriend. I thought it was a joke but then he threw the whole bag and screamed at the top of his lungs, F*** YOU! He then was told to leave the party and he started leaving a wake of mess as he was gathering his things. He took the beer he brought to the party and when he left he banged the door so hard that it bent the metal door. It shook several of the people up at the party and was uncalled for. Alaina and Max gave me a Christmas present. It was the Heros of the Torrah drinking glasses. Very funny. I also think its worthy to mention that I have some very good friends that I will not mention by name, I have been lucky to have such support.
Today I might have brunch with Alaina and Max if all goes well, they are cleaning and I am not feeling super. Tonight is Christmas Eve and so far have no plans. If that bastard Santa Clause tries coming in my double locked door he has a can of mace waiting for him. I might head out to say Merry Christmas to some drinking pals. Christmas I will be spending with Max and Alaina.

Big update, big savings
Right now I am a little tired, I didn't sleep right last night but it's good since I have time to nap before I start doing stuff today. I do have to do a couple things within the daylight hours. I sold a laptop on ebay but it didn't do so well. I only got $450 for it and it was new but not the best on the market. I also want to buy some earings since it's been ages I have has earings in and I have to get my act together for Birthdaycon.
Lets start the update. Tuesday night, I posted, I was at Harold night. It was the longest Harold night. It was great and all the groups performed awesome. I stuck around for the holiday party. I saw my friend Dan at the party, Charlie was spinning but other than that everyone was pretty much crunched into the green room and back hallways. I couldn't find a cup so I missed out on the keg. I decided to leave but wanted to party. I thought going to Revival was an option but I decided to go home.
Yesterday I cleaned the living room a bit and talked online a bunch. I made plans with a friend I was talking with online. We decided to meet near my house, go find some dinner and see Big Black Car at the PIT. I then watched a movie, a stalker movie "My Date with Drew", a movie about someones obsession to get a date with Drew Barrymore.
Last night my friend and I met on the corner near my house. We walked passed several restuarants in my area trying to decide what to eat. Neither of us could decide what to eat. We stopped at one of my favorites, East of Eighth, to look at the menu. I was interested to eat there once I saw they had Roasted Tomato Bisque on the menu again. We ate, talked for a bunch and had a drink. We ended the dinner with Chocolate Espresso Cake which was awesome.
We left dinner and walked up to the Triple Crown and had a drink there to waste sometime before the show. After chatting and one drink we headed to the PIT. Fancy Dragon performed first and they were very funny and their scenes were great. Big Black Car performed next and did something different to try out. They performed Big Black Ballet. It was wierd but very funny, it was awesome.
After the show we walked down to the L train and then I headed home to relax for a minute. I was performing at the PIT later on. I went home and saw that I only had 25 minutes to relax. I had some Vitamin Water and minature Baby Ruth. I walked up to the PIT and waited outside for one of the many members of Separated at Birth.
No one showed up from my team. I texted Phlip because he is always performing with me. He didn't answer so I went inside and decided to watch the other teams to perform. When I was inside I got a phone call from Phlip and he said he was on the way, I got up and entered our team into the nights line up. He showed up during the intro and we were set. We were the second team to perform and we did only two scenes and I felt OK about our performances.
After the show we talked as we walked to the Triple Crown. It didn't seem like anyone was headed to the bar, Phlip was tired also. Phlip headed to to the train and I walked home.
Tonight I am supposed to meet Harold for a performance of the Swarm at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. After, I am meeting Tim outside to see a performace by Horatio Sanz. Tonight is Cage Match tonight also but I am not sure I will be staying for that. I might head to Revival to catch up with friends.

Happy, merry and new
I am sittingin the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on the longest Harold night. When I went on the website it wasn't accepting reservations anymore. I guess it is sold out tonight. It is very crowded. Later is the Christmas Party here at the UCB Theater.
Today I talked to a friend today online and we decided to meet up in the city and hang out. We walked around for at least ans hour and talked for three. It was fun.
Last night I performed at the PIT with Phlip. We took on a sub with our team, Steve. I think I sucked last night. Another shot tomorrow though. Thursday is Horatio Sanz and the Swarm. Friday Boulevard Tavern, Saturday Alaina's.

Insert Title Here
I am watching Deal or No Deal and it seems to be the only thing on during the holiday season. There is a new show Identity on after this but it doesn't look as interesting. I was supposed to perform tonight at the PIT but Vicki, Phlip, Tim and Danny all said they probably wouldn't make it. I could still go but I don't know as of yet.
I didn't do much today. I pretty much caught up on things that needed attention. I have a fake ebay that has bid on my laptop and I am waiting to dispute the charge. I have two days to wait for the auction to end on another item. I am waiting to buy a new ipod because I lost mine a week ago.
Tomorrow is a great Harold night and a great party to go to. Wednesday I am hoping that some people show up to the PIT. Thursday I am watching the Swarm and then Horatio Sanz Christmas Spectacular. Friday is Ria's birthday party. Saturday is another party.

Christmas Awesomeness
Save the mullet, save the world
Wow! Busy fun weekend. It did start a little early for me. Thursday night I went to Cage Match and then went to Revival. I hung out with Devin, Mike and Dave. We ended up leaving and heading to Molly's. It was a long night.
Hungover on Friday, I got a AIM message from Dora. She wanted to see Eragon. I ended up meeting her on 14th Street to see the movie. The movie was bad, I ended up laughing at it most of the time. It was a shame because the actors they had. Rachel Weisz, John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons should have made it a good movie but a dry wit dragon played by Weisz didn't help.
After the movie, I headed to Vince and Gina's party. Their apartment was very nice and there were so many people there. I saw Billy, Bobcat, Wolfgame, Patty, Nathan, Max and Alaina. The liquor spread was impressive, I didn't drink to much but I had fun.
Yesterday I sent out my laundry and received it back later in the afternoon. I headed to Gustav's abiut 6:30pm. I got to his house rather early. Sami and his wife were there but they took off. Chris and Jason were the enxt to arrive and I was cool hanging out with them. I saw Ana for a bit but she had to run. Christina and I were waiting for more of our friends to show up. Max and Alaina showed up later. I got to meet Liz and Ana came back to the party. When the party died down, Liz, Ana, Max, Alaina, Christina and myself headed to Boulevard Tavern.
Tonight I will stay in and order a big dinner I think. Monday I will be performing at the PIT. Tuesday is a fun party. Wednesday I will perform again at the PIT. Thursday is Cage Match (Jews vs. Christians). Friday is Ria's birthday. Saturday is Alaina's party.

I have the weirdest dreams sometime
I woke up today remembering a wierd dream about myself trying to buy a playstation 3. It was wierd because I don't want to buy one but I was being so picky about the size of the hard drive and I went for the most expensive one. I slept in today, for some reason I thought I needed it. I haven't been non-constructive but I won't be nominated for any award.
Last night I received a call from an ex-girlfriend who said she was in the city for a night. I invited her to watch me and my pal Phlip do some improv at the PIT. I got to the PIT and met up with Phlip and waited for others to show up. After seeing that we were on our own, we headed inside. Phlip filled out our team entry, calling us "Separated by Birth" which I think is our Improdome name. When we walked into the theater area I saw my ex-girlfiend sitting up in the high seats. I said Hi to her but sat in the front so I can get up from my seat to perform easier. It was funny because this time we weren't picked first. As a matter of fact, we were the last team to perform. I don't know how funny it was but it was extremely fun. Later I ended up catching up with my ex-girlfriend at the Triple Crown. She only stayed for one drink and then left. I stayed for one more talking to some regulars but then left myself.
Tonight I plan on hitting Cage Match at UCB. Charlie was going to bring me a shirt but if he doesn't it's not a big issue. I have a Christmas party tomorrow. Saturday is Santacon but I don't think I want to go because I have a party later that evening and I don't want to be sloshed when I go to the Christmas party. I also want to hit a show at UCB at Midnight on Saturday.

Its a dog day afternoon
Yesterday I stayed in and cleaned my livingroom because Tina was going to drop the dog off at my place the next day. I watched a couple of movies that I got from NetFlix. The one movie I was waiting to add to my collection was Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. It was great and Sam Rockwell was very good. I also watched part two of Lost Room.
I woke up today and waited for Tina to stop over. The first hour the dog was over I had to worry what was going into her mouth. It was nerve racking. About 4:30, she came back to pick up the dog and we walked to the vet. While waiting in the vet, Lili Taylor sat right next to me with her black pug. I wanted to say hi but I don't think a vet's office is one of the happy meeting places. Tina came back out and we dropped the dog off at her house. We walked from her place and she bought me dinner at Frutti di Mare.
I am supposed to perform at the PIT tonight with Phlip. Brandon emailed and said he can't make it. It might be the two of us tonight. I recevied a call from Rebecca saying she was in town and I told her about the performance. She might show up, but I don't know.

Superstar on the camera
Today I am a little hungover. I performed at the PIT last night with my improv pals. Me and Phlip formed Separated at Birth and Tim, Vicki and Brandon formed Senators Balls Deep. Again, me and Phlip were picked to go first. This makes it like three weeks in a row. I liked the scenes we did but we didn't win. As matter of fact, there were only three teams performing last night. It was the other team that wasn't made up by my UCB pals.
I went to Triple Crown right after the show and I hung out with Shawn. We talked and I learned that it was announced at the PIT's Holiday Party, that they aquired their liquor licence so they can now sell beer. After the Triple Crown I went to Revival and hung out with Kevin and Devin. I got home about 5 in the morning.
Today I slunked around the house. At 5 o'clock I was supposed to meet my friend Jen at the Nokia theater. She asked me yesterday if I could make myself to be intervied on camera for some New Years video. I met her and I was introduced to the video crew. The questions were straight forward but I think they wanted some funny answers. At several points of the interview they asked me to dance and sing. Appearently I was funny because they were laughing but I do think I made a fool out of myself.
Tonight I was planning on going to Harold night but I am really tired and I have to straighten up my apartment. I have Tina coming over to drop off her dog in the afternoon. Tomorrow night I am meeting the gang for Improdome.

30 days till Birthdaycon in Vegas
Just under a month now till I fly out to Vegas for Birthdaycon. I am excited and so are a couple of my friends. I am flying round trip first class for free, thats awesome. I posted the latest to all the sites like livejournal, dc-forums, dc-stuff and myspace. I am supposed to perform tonight and I am excited about that. I know Phlip, Brandon and Vicki are showing up. Danny has a gig tonight but said he is going to try swing by. We haven't performed together for a week so it will probably put us in the right mood.
There is a show on SciFi channel right now called Lost Room and I think I know what happens when Dakota Fanning grows up. They book her sister. She has the same innocent spooky feel about her. I wish there was something interesting on but Studio 60 is off the air until spring. Spring will rock if I can watch LOST and Studio 60 in HD. Man, that sounds pathetic.
My RAID is giving me issues. It crashes alot lately. I think it is attributed to heat. It's been pretty cold the last couple of days, making the heat kick on frequently. I have most of the raid backed up to an appliance but since I lost my ipod I don't want to loose the newest mp3s I put on my RAID.
Tomorrow, I have to clean my apartment. I got an email from Tina that she wants me to dog-sit for her on Wednesday because she has to take her dog to the vet later in the afternoon. She is leaving to go to Florida for the holidays which is a shame because I wanted to go to see the tree and the NCB Experience with her. I am going to ask some of my improv pals to see if they want to go.

I want to win a sweepstake
I didn't end up getting sick which is a good thing. Maybe lack of accomplishment or lots of alcohol is the key to healthy life. Last night I received a call from Tina about 6:00pm. Max and Alaina were thinking about movie night I think but I didn't hear from them before Tina called. She said that George and Jim were spinning at the Boulevard Tavern and we should go. I said I would meet her at her place about 9:30pm and we can taxi it over to the bar.
I met Tina at 9:25pm and we cabbed it over to the bar. Mike, Harold, and Ria were already there. We chatted it up a bunch and then Jim, George, and Toni showed up. Jim and George always spin good music and it made the night great. I showed George a bunch of stuff I can do with my phone such as dodgeball and slingbox. He wanted to do some tech stuff for when they are on the road and stuff.
Tina ended leaving after a couple drinks and I ended up mostly talking with Mike. Harold cooked me a burger and the burgers he serves up are awesome. Basically my time at the bar ended up to burgers and converations about Chris Farley, Uncle Buck and the Gong show.
My Tivo recorded two Gong Show episodes, awesome. Tonight there is a documentary on Chuck Barris which I am excited to watch also. Tomorrow I perform, Tuesday is Harold night, Wednesday I perform, Thursday is Cage Match and Friday/Saturday I have parties.

I hope I am not getting sick
After last night I feel a tinge of illness. It was below freezing last night and we spent some time in the cold. It sucked. First me, Max and Alaina met at Frutti di Mare for dinner. The food was good and the Pino that we chose was good too.
After dinner we decided to go to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to see a show called Xbox 420. it was listed as:
XBOX 420
4 Dudes, 2 Coasts, 1 Game.
Watch and Listen as 4 guys whose separate lives are so uniquely f'd up,
that they get together on Friday Nights to play XBOX LIVE to feel like the
Warriors they were meant to be.
Thanks to the power of the Internet, this improvised show will be
simultaneously performed at the UCBT in Los Angeles and the UCBT New York
City as the cast links both coasts with a single game of Halo and a big
bag of weed.
Improv & Video Games... yeah we're nerds. But we're stoned nerds.
Friday December 8th
UCBT NYC @ Midnight
with:
Rob Huebel (Best Week Ever, Human Giant)
Paul Scheer (Best Week Ever, Human Giant)
UCBT LA @ 9pm
with:
Owen Burke
Seth Morris
We go to the theater 30 minutes before the show. It was 20-something degrees, we went inside to see if they were opening the doors early or preselling tickets. We went to the supermarket to see if they had hot chocolate. They didn't so we went to McDonalds, they did have hot chocolate as well as cinnamon rolls. We went back to the theater and got in line. They were selling tickets so we bought some. It was 11:50pm.
About 10 minutes later one of the interns said the previous show is running long and it would be another 30 minutes. If we wanted, we could leave and come back. He said maybe go to Molly Wee, which is 4 blocks north and figure by the time you get there it would be time to turn around.
We actually waited close to an hour in below freezing temperatures to get into the show. To our suprise, there was no Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer. Instead it was John, another John, and someone who I don't know. The came out to play the Xbox. They didn't connect over the internet, the played this Xbox sitting next to each other for 30 minutes to very minimal laughter. In a word, the show sucked. It only lasted 30 minutes and was no funnier than Chevy Chase when he had a talk show. I have a game console, I have weed. Better than that, I have the ability to change the situation when it's not funny.
I went home and bought a Vitimin Water and pack of cigarettes on the way home. I got inside and I was so tired that I didn't even have energy to watch TV. If it wasn't so cold I would have headed to the bar but it was too cold last night.
Today I was suggesting that Rabbit, Max and Alaina come over for movie night. There was this recipe for a drink in the L magazine for Conquitos. It is like a egg nog recipe but different. We were thinking about trying it to see if it's a good Christmas party drink. There are a bunch of parties coming up. There is a party at Vince's apartment next week, there is Rabbit's tree trimming party after that, UCB has a holiday party after that is Alaina's Christmas party. I don't know if I can fit any more. So tonight my plans are up in the air because I don't want to get sick.

Wonderland wonderland
Wonderland wonderland
Does anyone else have this song stuck in their head? Yesterday I finally got Fedora 6 running on my laptop. I had to actually blacklist the modules. Everything is now working, flash and wireless. Now I am just adding my security tools and stuff that makes the day go.
Last night I went to Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to see Cage Match. The last two Cage Match fights were only separated by two or three votes. I saw Ben for a minute and told him he did a good job. I would
have spoke to him longer but he was in a conversation and I didn't want to interrupt. It didn't look like everyone would have headed to the after party because the weather was miserable.
I went home and watched 30 Rock and it was funnier than last week. I am not sure if they will get renewed because I don't think it is a must see program for Thursdays. I saw that there isn't a new Studio 60 next week but I am happy that both the programs are broadcast in HD.
Today I played with the computer a bunch. I saw that Danny's performance for Wednesday was canceled and I am bummed about that but I see he is performing days later.
I called Rabbit to see what he was up to since I wanted to hang out with someone but he was going to his mother's house. I got a hold of Max and it looks like we will hit a late dinner and then a show called Xbox 420. I talked to El_Jefe online today. I haven't spent too much time online because I have been so busy with improv stuff. He was saying he was as psyched as I am for birthdaycon. Birthdaycon is just 33 days away and it seems all is set. I acquired first class tickets for the trip and the hotel is squared away.
So the plans that are floating around now are; tonight dinner and Xbox 420 with Alaina and Max. Tomorrow is up in the air. Sunday I will betaking it somewhat easy since on Monday I will be performing. Tuesday is Harold night and maybe I will see some of my friends from class there. Wednesday is another performance date. Thursday is Cage Match. Friday Danny performs and later I am going to Vince and Gina's party. Saturday is Santacon.

Did Wednesday ever happen?
Tuesday night I stayed in, too cold to venture outside. I also found out that during my Monday night madness I lost my UCB Student ID card. Not a total big deal, I was only using it for shows I can get into for free with it but there are only 6 more shows that I would use it on. It only adds a $30 loss.
Yesterday I installed operating systems all day, on my laptop. I started by removing the Fedora 64bit version because I was getting tired of no 64bit plugins for linux. I started with Fedora 6 but I couldn't get the internal wireless card working. So I went back to Fedora 4 but ran into issues with booting Windows. I gave up for the night.
I was supposed to perform at the PIT but the PIT screwed all of us by suddenly putting their holiday party or something on the calendar with hours notice. I didn't thing they would have cancelled other events or forgotten all last week when we were at the PIT. I found this all out when Brandon called me and I felt stupid for a couple of minutes, then I called Phlip to pass the news. I went to bed after watching 10 Items or Less.
Today I woke up to conquer my Windows problem. It turned out when I resized one of my Linux partitions it screwed up my boot.ini file. I rewrote the boot.ini file with bootcfg and it worked. I installed an ATI driver on my Fedora 4 install and fixed the 1200x800 to be 1200x768. Then I found the wireless problem was conflicting modules for ieee80211. I rmmod all the modules and only loded ndiswrapper. Everything was working, so what did I do? I started putting on Fedora 6 again. Who knows if I will get out of the house.
Cage Match is tonight and so is New Team Battle at the PIT. I don't know what I want to do. Tim emailed about the New Team Battle but I am not sure if everyone will show up. The Office is on and so is 30 Rock, that is a good start to an evening.

It was as cold as ice, I did sacrifice
Yesterday was a little good and little bad. I went to a meeting out at La Guardia Airport. I have to tell you it is the worst airport to get to. There are only two busses that get you there. If there is traffic, you as screwed. I took a taxi both ways which is not cheap but I can write it off on my taxes this year.
On the way home, I think, my iPod fell out of my pocket. I had like 25gb of music on it and I am out of the iPod. I figure I am going to ebay one of my laptops I never use and go to the Apple store and pick up a new one.
Later in the evening, I met Alaina and Max at Mo Pitkins to see Improv Everywhere. I saw Charlie downstairs and I chatted with him a bit, then we all headed upstairs for the show. The show was smaller than the UCB show but good because of the intimate setting.
After the show we headed to 85A for a drink but when we got there we saw that they changed its name to Big Lug. We went inside and saw that there was noone inside but the bartender and maybe a manager and his friend. Everyone looked like truck drivers with beards and flannel shirts. The movie playing on the TV was Moonstruck. I went to the bathroom and Alaina joked, I will text you if I see anyone heading in the bathroom after you. I didn't know why she said that. When I got in the bathroom, there was no lock, and sure as the day is long, a big guy did come in. He left, thank god, and then I told Max and Alaina that we should go since I had to be at the PIT soon.
On the way out, we saw the HX magazines. I turned to Max and Alaina and said "they turned are bar into a gay bar". We laughed and we walked a couple blocks talking and then it was too cold so we hopped in a cab. Max and Alaina were dropped off, the I headed to the PIT. Phlip called to say he was up there and I told him I would be there soon. I called Deanna but everytime we were talking, her phone would cut out.
I got to the theater and saw Phlip but the rest of our improv team didn't show up. We hooked up with a guy Mike from Las Vegas to compete out team. The winner was Sparkle Pony Super Fun Squad or something. We left and I headed to Triple Crown where I chatted with Starr and Sean. We talked for a while and everyone decided to go home and I went to Revival. I was only me and Devin until he closed it. I left and I headed home, stopping at Papaya for hotdogs.
Today I played with the TV trying to get more HD channels. I have been trying to get Fedora 6 through bittorrent but is has been very slow. Tonight is Harold night but I am not totally psyched to go. I will probably save my energy for tonight because I will be performing at the PIT tomorrow. Ordering in some Chicken Parm sounds good. Thursday Phlip and I might meet up for Cage Match. Friday night I think I am going to catch Xbox 420. That's all the plans I can think of.

What a weekend!
Friday I hung out with the old 2600 boys. We met up at McCormack's. It was me, Bobcat, Akira, Max, Alaina, Wolfgame, John, Billygoto, Pattyand Vince. He sat, ate and drank until there was only four of us left. We went to the Mad Hatter and closed it out. BillyGoto was supposed to go get a Nintendo Wii in the morning. Me, Bobcat and Billy ended up going to my house and I showed some of the tommEE pickles media whore collection. We then watched some funny videos and Bobcat fell alseep. I kept Billy up until 7:00am so he could get his Wii. I went to bed after he left.
Saturday I was awoken by Bobcat about 10:15am. I was still very tired. I hung out with Bobcat until he left just after noon. I took a nap after that. I then woke up and I received a call from Phlip. He said he was on his way to work at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. He told me he would be able to perform on Monday but he might be a little late. I told Phlip that I would see him later because I planned on seeing Rueben Williams there. I saw Rueben Williams and it was the funniest show I have seen in several weeks.They did such a good job and the train flip/breakfast flashbacks were so funny.
Today I woke up about noon and I figured I wanted to get some things done. I went to Best Buy so I could buy an antenna for HDTV. I also bought the Davinci Code DVD since I hadn't seen it. I got home and installed the antenna and holy crap, you definitely see the difference on my plasma. Davinci Code was ok, held my attention.
Tomorrow I have an early morning appointment so I have to be up at like 6:00am. I am also performing at the PIT later in the evening. Tuesday is Harold night, Wednesday I am performing at the PIT, Thursday is Cage Match with Rueben Williams vs. Rouge Elephant.

Oh what a night, Early December and it's 63
Yesterday, what did I do? I had my laundry delivered and I put it away. I did some MySpace maintenance. I posted some emails regarding the changes to Beyond Improdome. Later in the evening I went to Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to see Cage Match. Max and Alaina were supposed to come but Alaina had a lot of work, and Max was sick.
Cage Match was awesome. Eric Scott was funny as T.T. Billingsworth, Charlie Todd played himself and the groups were Project Improviser vs. Mailer Daemon. Sad news, Mailer Daemon lost by only two votes. Charlie and Eric announced that everyone was heading to Peter McManus after the show.
I headed home for a minute and saw that my TiVo recorded my shows. I removed my sheatshirt because it was too hot, then headed out to Peter McManus.
When I got to the bar it was pretty crowded and with tons of improv people. I saw Owen Burke, Horatio Sans, Charlie Todd, Jackie Clark, most the people from Mailer Daemon and Project Improviser. I also saw members of fwand and other groups. I ended up talking with Ben Rodgers for a while. I hope I didn't bend his ear too much but it was really cool hearing more about his views on different Harold techniques.
It was getting a little uncomfortable at the bar so I headed down to Revival. I saw Ben outside and talked with him for a while. Mel stepped outside and we had a cigarette together. I stepped inside and stayed until about 3:00am. Mel ended up closing the bar and I headed back to Peter McManus for last call.
When I got back there it appeared that a lot of people left. The only people I recognized were busy in their clicks. After a drink I walked home.
Today I woke up in a back mood. I ordered some Chicken Parm and Spaghetti. I started copying Studio 60 episodes to my file server. Tonight I don't know what I am doing. I know the 2600 kids are getting together. There is no Beyond Improdome tonight. There are shows at UCB but I don't know if I am in the mood.
