This blog entry is in 2 parts: Comedy and A-Kon
1) Comedy
Houston's Funniest didn't go well, but at least I've learned things because of it... not what I expected to learn, but that's irrelevant. That's all that needs to be said about it. (Sidenote: I have a CD of my set from Houston's Funniest, but I'm afraid to listen to it, expecially since the thing I hate the most about my performance is my voice... with video it's tolerable, but audio alone... who knows. Once I find out if it's good or not, I might make it available for y'all.
Tomorrow night I'll be doing standup in Arlington, but after that, I'll be taking at least a month off from standup; both watching (with the possible exception of Harland Williams next week) and performing. I've been spending a lot of time doing comedy lately but I need to take a break, re-evaluate everything, think lots of things over, and hopefully write a few new jokes. In about a month, I'll decide whether (in order of likelihood) I'm ready to start up again, I need more time to work on things, or if I should stop.
2) A-Kon
Tomorrow, I'll be leaving for A-Kon in Dallas... hopefully I'll have enough money. I have a hotel room w/ Robert (and possibly more), plus I'll be seeing my old friend "Gay Ian" (the term used with all due respect solely to seperate him from other Ian's I know... when I met him I also knew "Mohawk Ian" [who, sadly, no longer has a mohawk] and "Stoner-hippy" Ian) plus many BTX'ers. I put together a last-minute cosplay of Matsushiro Kenfrom Yakitate!! JaPan, which of course means I shaved... damnit. Anyway, I'll come back soon with stories and pictures, but if you are going to be at the con let me know so we can meet up!
See you, space cowboy...
