*whew* pat told me that i don't have to "work the crowd" when i host the open mic... i mean i am not a derelict, i can yap like "hey, how are ya'" etc, but i'm not gonna start picking on people or doing some cheesy sally field in punchline crowd work...
but i have control of the show on tuesdays... i can do my material without having the host hate me... because i will be the host... although, there are some days where i sometimes am growly at myself
so, i have to start thinking up new stuff... or combing through the archives here :)
