wow
that napa show was great. holy crap.
i realized that thing penn jillette talks about is so true:
audiences in l.a., ny and to an extent, the fringe fest, are jaded and, much like myself, generally have seen more crap than good.
the audiences who come to see us, haven’t filtered the crap we have and aren’t jaded and instead of preparing oneself for crap, are prepared to have a great time.
playing l.a. is like swinging a lead bat. not that these audiences are “rubes” or anything by a longshot. they’re just not assholes like me.
it makes for great shows, that’s for sure.
i bet i could learn something if i thought about it for a second.
off to nyc.
back in a day or something.
sheesh.
pure fame

I TOLD THEM “SPAM SCAM THEN HUNDRED YEARS OF BROADWAY!!!”
Hello Tucson
I used to live here the first half of third grade. Then my mom packed us up in her VW bug and we moved to beautiful Oklahoma City.
We’re doing spamscam here for three nights. There’s a nice, full page article in the local l.a. weakly type paper, which is excellent and the nice interviewer used some of my better “quips” like the one about how if I had been sitting around bored on the Mister Sterling set in the 70’s I would’ve been out of my mind on blow instead of screwing with a Nigerian 419 scammer via email.
We’re downtown, so it’s sorta remeniscent of the dreaded Minneapolis experience. If we happen to tank here, the outlook is not good.
We rented a PLANET KILLING SUV BECAUSE WE’RE EVIL to drive here. I started nodding off almost immediately so I got Victor to take over and he drove the entire way. Very cool beans.
Going to play the new audio clips at the end of the show. They’re not really integrated, but it will be a cool experiment. I think I have a fairly good template for Spamscam II. Not sure. Hope so.
If I don’t get all lazy over the next few weeks, I can have it at fighting weight for the New Jersey show.
Speaking of shows….
Coreyoke is killing. Our audience doubled this past week. We took bribes to bring people up. It was insane. We’re going to have to sign peeps up before we start and lock the list. Great problems to have. Really, really very cool.
There have been some excellent folks who have been showing up from day one who helped it along as we limped along. Steve, Ginger, Allie, Jeff, Corey (coincidentally) have all been instrumental in “keeping the coreyoke dream alive”… *sniff* *tears*… butt seriassly, I hope the past two weeks haven’t been anomalous. Then I will kill people.
Now all I have to do is learn the songs!
You know, there’s nothing like travel and a hotel room to make one really miss their wife.
Whine, whine, whine… I’m excited about the shows.
Oh. one more whine… slowest internet connection in the history of internet. i’m replicating my 2400bps modem with this wireless connection. fascinating. truly.
Nigerian Spam Scam Scam
I’m doing spamscam this Saturday at 10pm in L.A. at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater
http://www.ucbtheatre.com/schedule/showdetails.php?showid=1286
It’s a really cool theater.
Come down and laff yer balls off.
corey & kauai
The coreyoke shows at the joint were underwhelming.
Though we built a solid following of nearly 15 people, it’s not enough for us to continue playing there. We each make about 8 bucks an hour and, well, that’s not enough. So we will move on to another venue and see how it goes.
We may do a thing at a place called the lava lounge beginning in january.
Regardless…
Jessie and I are off to Kauai tomorrow morning. We’re finally going on our honeymoon. If I had a better VO year this year, I would probably be more excited about going.
It will be nice to be warm for a while. It has gotten too cold for me here (below 60. I’m a wuss, yes.)
Jessie is having anxiety attacks regarding being “in public” in a bikini. Man, I feel so bad for women. Sorry that we do that to you, ladies.
Oh well. Better her than me!
I think the place we’re staying has no internet, so it will be weird for me. There is a place “down the street” that does, though I don’t know what “down the street” really means.
hmm.
Rock on!
