I am in the air right now and my drink is rocking and rolling, tommEE is listening to Britney Spears Toxic because it's the way I feel right now. I have to pee but the seatbelt light is on and the plane is rocking and shaking rough. The captain asked for the flight attendants to return to their seats and that doesn't inspire confidence.
The New York week was awesome. I was just thinking about memorable moments. One was when I was going to Cage Match last night and I was getting out of the cab at 28th and 8th. I opened the door and walked down the street and I think I was by the Magnet and I heard someone shout "tommEE pickles". I think it was one of my friends Shawn but its been so long that I don't know if I am correct. I told the group that I was headed to the Cage Match. On another corner, it was the same thing. It was nice to hear my name called out throughout the city.
The flight attendants are up and about butI just ordered two more vodkas and asked where my Chex Mix was.
I used to feel awkward around McManus sometimes, I felt I wasn't worthy to sit with some of the 'headlining' improv people but last night was a little different. I have improv baggage and travelled the road pretty far.
I didn't mention that when I was at Gil Ozeri's show and Eugene's show I saw Rob Lathan and Charlie Todd. When I talked with Rob, I said let me know when you come to LA. He reminded that I shot video of him at UCB and that he was at the UCB Theater in LA and I was at his show. I forgot all about that
It as nice seeing Charlie and Rob at UCB, it felt good.
I felt bad I didn't get to see Max and Alaina this week. Monday looked like it was going to be good but it ended being such a long travel day, I was exhausted.
I did not like the Helmsley Hotel, it was too antique and the water in the shower was like my old apartment. The bed wasn't that comfortable. They did give me turn down service but it wasn't what I thought turn down service was. They just left chocolate.
Ug this turbulance is freaking me and the flight attendant has not brought my relaxing juice yet. I worry when we land and I have to drive home but I can't leave the car in that expensive parking.
I don't know when I will be back in the Big Apple but I can say the rain didn't make me love the weather.
So next weekend is Defcon Thursday I have the Defcon Cannonball Run. I am sure I have a bunch of packages waiting for me at home. If not they better come soon. I bought another timeclock, a Ranger RCI-2950 to communicate on CB channels, a new radar detector, and a CB antenna.
Apparently we are having a dye party Sunday to get ready for Defcon. I need to fix my roots but find the color before it starts.
I am pretty excited to see all my friends I missed last year because I didn't go to Defcon last year. Last year I was at the Del Close Marathon which was good but I started losing the fever for improv. This year I am going to miss the Del Close Marathon because of Magic Live, a magic convention in Vegas. I sound so nerdy.
One person I missed out in New York was Jawnee Conroy. How we became friends is a wonder but he is great guy and awesome to hang around with. The last time I saw him was at the Del Close Marathon.
Again,, this turbulence is scary. I know it doesn't mean anything but I feel so out of control.
I hope everything turns out ok, its not fun. I have my booze but no Chex Mix.
