whoa. i totally skipped a day of writing. so last night my comedy sistah monica and i went to the friday night freakathon (at gioia's pizza) and saw a few comics... it's a booked open mic, i think that it'll be good to get up there - there's no stage, just you and 4 tables of folks who are chowing on pizza... the lighting is that of a nyc pizzeria = bright fluorescent... and people get up to get their food in the middle of your set - but it looked like a decent place to test out material
as i've said... i have to get back up there and bringer shows sucked the life out of me.... open mics are the way to go
then we headed over to stand up sushi - but for some reason they weren't having an open mic last night - even though it was in time out ny...
so, we decided to head over to the comedy cellar - to see the 12:30 show... it was about 11:15pm when we got there so we gave our name and sat at the bar at the olive tree cafe upstairs - they used to let you go through the entrance inside to walk downstairs when it was time to be seated.... so around 12:20 we try to do that - no can do... they say "stand in the line outside" - hmmmmm.... okay... the line is 10 feet deep - not a problem... then a guy says, go around the corner to the "end of the line".... crap.... another 20 feet - so we bailed - knowing we'd be shoved way in the back.... there'll be other shows there - so monica headed home and i jumped in a cab back to jersey city... really didn't feel like waiting 45 minutes for the path train at that point...
that was my night - now i am up early because i am heading down the shore in about 20 minutes...
talk to y'all on monday...
