Raining in Baltimore

Just checking in from the lobby of the Grand Inn in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Tonight's show in Rockford, Michigan, about ten miles north of here, was one of the worst attended shows at the Crazy Horse Saloon that I've ever seen, and that joint usually packs 'em in.  I turned in what I thought was an above-average show, despite being tar-whupped from driving two hours out of my way to Battle Creek so I could pick up copies of the newspaper;  they featured me in an article about the Relay For Life show I'm doing at Gary Field's Comedy Club this week, and I wanted copies to send to my family.  So I headed all the way down there from Mt. Pleasant (in the pouring rain) and got them, and then when I got to the hotel, I found the article was posted on line.  I'm an idiot!  Anyway, here's the article: Battle Creek Enquirer - www.battlecreekenquirer.com - Battle Creek, Mich.

I'm working with one of my favorite guys in the business this week, Mr. Greg Morton, and on Sunday, I'm working with a bunch of comics including John Face, Mark Knope and Barry Fuller.  I'm looking forward to doing the pal-around thing with the guys and this year, I've actually got the time to hang out, versus last year when I did the show and then had to skedaddle right away.  The show is sold out, which is mega-cool, and I'm really excited about it.

Not a lot more to mention, but I haven't checked in and I want my regulars to know that I'm o.k.  Hope the weather's cooperating with you wherever you are, it's rainy and crappy here and not doing anything for my diabetes-fueled depression.  I want a chocolate bar so badly right now I'd beat up a kid to get one, and that's not good.  I think I'll just watch a movie and get some rest.
