I've heard it takes about 18 months for a new open mic comedy show to get its legs on the ground, gain momentum and start running. Seaton Smith was able to do that at Bossa Lounge in less than a year. This open mic consistently showcases a range of talented comics, all at different points in their careers.
Last night's show was no different, except there were 9 or 10 very talented comics who were not able to perform due to time constraints. The management at Bossa insists that this weekly show end at 10:30pm, even though it often starts around 9:15. They do this because an empty room used for nothing at all, generates more business than an entertained crowd that buys drinks.
Unfortunatly last night may have been the last show in Bossa's 16 month run. Not only is Bossa a great venue to perform, but it also increases awareness for newer rooms like Rendezvous. This is one instance where I believe the right choice is the one which generates the most revenue. Hopefully the management at Bossa will run their business, like a fucking business.

The Post after the Maiden Post
I'm gonna try to drop a new post once a week on tuesdays. Kinda like No Limit Records did with LP's back in '98. So since its wednesday night, we're off to a great start!!!
If you have an occupation where 99% of your day consists of surfing the internet, and you don't yet have access to the internet at your work station, than its ok to take a nap at work. This is a rule that I just made up. I will be testing it tomorrow. If I don't have a job next week, than I'll know that the US Government does not enforce rules that I make up and post on this blog.
I've learned alot about doing comedy the past few days, without actually doing comedy. Thanks to The Comedians of Comedy show at the Blackcat Theater which was great and the interview with Patton Oswalt which was effin amazing. I don't curse for the kids.
I haven't payed my internet bill in a couple of months ever since it jumped from $19.99 to $59.99. But I've consistently been paying my cable, since the amount that they charge me monthly for cable has stayed consistent. This is my way of protesting non-violently. Today Comcast took action by cancelling my HBO and Showtime, but leaving my internet on. I also still recieve all other cable channels that I pay for. Comcast is like the parent that punishes you, by sending you to your room without letting you watch the new season of The Wire, but forgets that your room is equipped with high speed internet, so you can download wonderful things at lightning fast speeds while on punishment. Thanks Comcast!!! You're Comcastic!!!
Its ok to not pay your yearly federal or state taxes if you tell people how awesome this blog is. If you try this, and next year you end up in federal prison, than refer back to paragragh two of this awesome blog post.
