Retracing My Steps

October 12, 2009

Just back from The Denver Comedy Works.  Lots of future in-laws and old friends.  The crowds and openers were great but the highlight was talking with the GM Jeff about the 80’s and my “performances” there.  One of the reasons I booked this comedy club tour was to retrace those drunken steps.  My worse fears were confirmed about my behavior but he was kind about it, “that was the 80’s.”

I’m off to the Chicago Improv this week.  I assumed the Cubs would be in the Championship Series when I booked it because, as a Cubs fan, I’m either stupid or eternally optimistic…I prefer the latter.  Ashley is going with me – it’s pretty lonely out there after the shows – but I suspect me getting her Oprah tickets had a lot to do with it (she wept…I’m serious).

I’ve developed a new respect for the traveling comic and am trying to appreciate the opportunity to do this.  I really do like speaking to people in person instead of walking to and from a trailer in the incredibly unglamorous world of TV and Film but when I watch a Zach Efron movie alone in my hotel and weep, I know it’s time to figure a better way.  I owe NBC a script and I am writing this as a commitment to get it done this week.  I’m also vowing to get more involved in my wedding planning…right after I finish the script.
