“Reminder to self: Never let my old buddy MO near a microphone in public, but thankfully the folks at the Des Moines Funny Bone were very kind and Charity, Mo’s FAR BETTER HALF is a great cook so Ashley made me forgive him and we all thank the Good Lord he’s not famous. MO’s on stage banter makes “the situation” sound like Sidney Poitier. It is nice to be back in The Hawkeye State (actually, the folks in Springfield Illinois, from Donnie B and his club goers to the lady that cut me off at 3 double cheese White Castle’s were hard to say goodbye to..and it was -3 degrees!) The moment we landed at The St Louis Airport I felt I’d arrived at that Avatar planet Cameron created PLUS I ‘d just watched Jason Reitman’s “Up In The Air”. You know a movie’s good when you feel sorry for George Clooney. He’s as good as advertised and the whole Midwest vibe is so cool. So real. They give me the benefit of the doubt:) Larry King with Dr Drew Wed night, Cedar Rapids Thurs, Davenport Fri, Dubuque Sat then back to unreality and a final shout out to Conan (Dax was great last night), D. Ferguson and the gang. Love you guys and look forward to many more silly times with you all. L,Tom”

Tom! its great that you’re hanging out at Iowa comedy clubs! I wanted to see you tonight in D-port but you were sold out. I have any awfully big crush on you – ever since the special viewing you did in Iowa City of Happy Endings… great movie. Also… your stand up is hilarious.
Keep it going – you’re great!

Hey Tom!
I saw you in Cedar Rapids the other night and you’re hilarious and a huge inspiration. I’ve read through your blog and you seem to know a lot. I was hoping I could get some advice. A quick email would mean the world. If not, good luck with everything!!
Hey, Tom,
Just to let you know my wife and I had a great time at the Funny bone Mon Jan.11. Good to see you. Hope to hear from you sometime. May catch up with you when you are back in Iowa.

If there are any questions about my description of Mo.. I think his comment speaks for the accuracy of my description. L, T
