I freaking rule

I did a show at Absolute Rehearsal Studios last nite, and it was amazing! I wasn't quite sure what to expect at such a venue, but it really was great. It's a band rehearsal space (hence the name, duh), and the people were just the coolest ever. There's a bar too - well, of course there's a bar. Like I would perform someplace that didn't have one! Some of the band guys came to see the show and they frigging loved me. I got to hang out with one band in their practice room and listen to them jam. They're amazing. I was invited back just to hang out by a bunch of the musicians. Sweet!

I'm totally in love with these guys - Energy Williams. They fucking rock. Check them out, seriously. And I'm not just saying this because the bass player digs me. What is it with me and bass players? Anywho, here are their Myspace links and a Youtube video. Seriously talented young guys. And adorable to boot!

A haunting

My oldest daughter works at the original Snuffer's on Greenville Avenue in Dallas. I didn't find out until recently that it's haunted.

No, for real! It's actually listed in a book, "Haunted Places" by Dennis William Hauck. So I started googling and found several websites that mention various haunted activities. And now I can't tear myself away from the place! I keep eating there, hoping to see one of the ghosts that people talk about. So far I haven't seen an actual ghost, but I did see something pretty cool.

If you've been to Snuffer's, you know that the front rooms and the patio were additions made later on. The two orignial rooms are behind these areas, and they back up to The Granada Theater. My daughter told me about a mirror hanging in one of the dining areas that has a lip print on it, and if you wipe it off, it comes back in a few minutes. I didn't believe her, so I wiped it myself earlier, and sure enough, in a few moments, the print was right back on the mirror! Astounding!

What a cool place to have so close by. Here are a couple of links about the activities there.

The times, they are a-changing....

Man I've been so busy lately. Things are nuts, as always. Sick kids, work, comedy, trying to decide on where I'm going to live. Gah. So here's an update for all you kids out there who still read this. I know who you are.

So, the biggest news of all - my bass player pulled the 'G' word on me last nite.

No, not grandma.

"Girlfriend".
He called me his girlfriend.
Gulp.

But you know what? I'm ok with that. For all my whining and complaining about not being able to find a normal man, well, he certainly falls nowhere in the range of 'normal'. I dig him. He digs me. We'll see how this long-distance thing plays out. Don't look at me like that. It's cool. Really.

This is going to be a busy week. Lots of shows, a concert, my mom's birthday, and of course, my daily dealings with the elderly. Life's not too bad.

This set is clean, but I feel so dirty.

I went to the Backdoor Comedy Club last nite and did a few minutes of clean material. I've been wanting to go for a while, I just never felt comfortable with all the restrictions they put in place.


If you're unfamiliar, I'll fill you in - you can't tell dirty jokes at the Backdoor. The ladies who own the place are very particular about what you can and cannot say. No sexual references. No F words. Certainly none of my blow job jokes. No references to farts, dicks, vaginas, etc.


So where does that leave me, you may ask?


Well, I sat down and pulled 7 jokes from my repertoire that were not dirty. I went with my buddy Joel, who goes up there every week. It felt strange to be there, and people were looking at me like, "What is SHE doing here????" It was kinda creepy.

I did my three minutes and moved on. It wasn't my best 3 minutes ever, but I can't say it was my worst. The bulk of the crowd were there to see a 13-year old boy. How can you compete with that?


I've never felt so dirty telling clean jokes. Gah.

Nice guy?

So, my friend Joel is on a mission - to find me a 'nice guy'.

It's not going well.

There's a very fine line between 'nice' and 'goofy'. And I don't do goofy. Well, I take that back. I can take a little goofy, but it seems that the guys he deems to be 'nice guys' are far too goofy, dorky, whatever, for me to spend time with. Or, they seem really nice, but they're actually complete freaks when you get them alone.

Everytime I meet a new guy, they are shocked that I'm single. I'm a little surprised myself. I mean, I don't want to brag, but I'm cute, I'm funny, I'm fun to be with. I have great boobs, a great personality, and very little baggage and drama. So why can't I find someone who doesn't irritate the shit out of me?

Sigh.

Here's what I'm looking for - a man, aged 30's to 40's, no kids, or at least grown ones, stable job, no felonies, no history of mental illness, with a sense of humor and a decent sex drive. How hard can that be?

Comedy Schedule

Hey folks! Here's my show schedule so far for the month.

Tuesday, July 14th
Absolute Rehearsal Studio
Dallas, TX
8 PM

Friday, July 17th and Saturday, July 18th
Hyena's Arlington
I'm hosting the early and late shows for the weekend.

Now that I've had my meds....

Ha. Just kidding. Unless you count alcohol as a med.

Things are really Ok, I've just been a little overwhelmed. The car is repaired. I'm picking it up Monday when I have some money. I do have a very good mechanic, he just isn't close to where I live, so half the cost of fixing the car was having it towed to the shop. Oh well. I know they do a good job and don't screw me.

I did a guest spot at Hyena's Dallas last nite and it went well! My new co-workers, who are adorable by the way, came to see the show. They'll never look at me the same again, but I did warn them in advance. I really am loving this comedy thing again. I may be hosting all next weekend in Arlington, I'll let you know when I find out for sure.

I've been missing my bass player, but since we haven't quite gotten to the point of any sort of commitment, I decided to hook up with my long-term guy last nite. Yes, it was great and yes, I needed it. If I do become rich and famous, I'll be taking care of him. He's so worth it.

Tired today, holiday weekend approaching. Wish I had today off but it will be a short day.
