Saturday night high

I performed at a comedy show in Manteca last Saturday night. It was great.

I was on a line-up with Chris Teicheira (I'm always a little proud of myself when I spell his name right), Dan Wilson, and headlining: Joe Klocek.  I respect all three of them for their comedic skills an experience, and I wanted to do well. And so I did!

I did my best, anyway, and came off all right. Comics sometimes throw around the words "killed" and "destroyed" when they simply did an able job, and held up their end of the bargain. It makes me slightly uncomfortable, so I strain to avoid the superfluous.  But I understand it: even a moderate showing can mainline those laughs (that you created!) so hotly into your veins that you feel like you blew the roof off the joint, when calmly reviewing the video later clearly shows otherwise.

All the comics (those performing, and those attending but not performing) were really cool/pleasant/friendly, and it was a great feeling. What a night!
