Last night at the Comix Cafe (www.comixcafe.com) was great; not the barn-burner that I had expected, but a good showing for a Sunday night before a holiday.  I had a great show, I thought, with a neat little chunk of material at the end soapboxing a little bit for Memorial Day and what it means to me.  The crowd was phenomenally receptive, and I think I might try working political material again.  The time seems right for it.  The main message I put out was putting away all of the divisiveness we have in our country today, and working more together.  We all want the same things, for our people to be fed, educated, and safe, we just disagree on how to get it done.  That got a little round of applause, so I guess other people must feel the way I do.

Steve Burr, my good and trusted comedy buddy (www.steveburrcomedy.com) came out and taped me on Saturday night, and delivered up to me a sweet looking DVD.  I checked it out, and no skips to be found, plus I had a decent show.  I'm really excited about making it available, because people have been asking me for a DVD, plus now I have a real pro demo to send out instead of clunky old VHS tape.  Tetta goes catapulting into the 21st century!

It's gonna be a short entry today, there's still a lot of work to do here before I leave Wednesday morning.  We have new appliances coming tomorrow, and I have to clear a way through the stairwell up the apartment so the delivery guys can get the appliances in.  It's just as well.  A lot of that junk has been down there for some time, and while I don't put a lot of trust into Feng Shui, supposedly if you have stuff blocking the entrance to your house (in this case, the only entrance), it blocks the energy from flowing freely.  Blocked energy at my house is the only kind of energy we have, I think.

Anyway, last night I taped a small interview with some guys from a website called www.ebaumsworld.com.  It was the second such interview I've done, the first was a couple of months ago when I opened for Aries Spears from MadTV.  I don't know if the footage is available on there, but go and check it out.  There's funny video stuff on there, from what I'm told.

Happy Memorial Day, and remember a soldier today.
