With a comedy layoff of a few weeks, a rare free evening, and several new bits to iron out, I decided to fill out my Wednesday night with open-mics. Josh's Bar 101 open-mic is fairly new and unfortunately ran up against a couple of significant local showcases, meaning that attendance was minimal. Despite that, we had fun with it in a "workshop" sort of way...it's good to get material out on the table so you can get feedback on it. From there, I made my way to The Crow's Nest for a card-less Wild Card Comedy show...it went relay-style with J.C. starting the show and each comic randomly drawing the next comic's name to bring them up. I didn't have much time to plan my set as Quentin followed J.C., then my name was drawn to go up after Quentin. I riffed on Quentin's line about becoming recently single and him saying "that hasn't happened in a while" by saying "I am also single...that's never NOT happened". The bar was chatty(as often seems to be the case) so I was mostly performing for the comics up front...it was still a good time. Got to talk to some people I hadn't seen in a while and met a few people for the first time. Only regret: Forgetting to bring quarters for the tabletop arcade machine at Crow's Nest. (There's a Galaga 3?!?)
