Rick's Cafe Americain

I just got home.

For the second time in two attempts I didn’t perform at the O’Debra twins Monday night open mic at Bowery Poetry Club. I threw my name in the hat and waited for my name to be called. I was FORTY-THIRD. This put me at #20 on the dreaded reserve list, which meant a demotion to a four minute set and (more than likely) no set at all, since the show closes at 2:30AM. I decided to hang around this time to no avail. Rob Apuzzo tried to do me a solid by offering to give his slot to me but the show ended right before Rob’s slot.

So, seriously, when does the money and adulation start?

When you get your own T.V. show.

When you start telling jokes about homosexuals.

I appreciate that Ferrari wrote “when,” not “if.”

Not so much that asphnxma did. Hey nix, is that a comment or a correction?

I meant you more as the universal than the general, but glad to see you are thinking big.

BTW—what are your thoughts on the comic strike?!?  Don’t hold out on us.  Give us your thoughts on something that really matters (to someone).

Wait a second, you’re not telling any homo jokes?  What kind of a comedian are you?  You are telling poop jokes though, right?

It’s a comment AND a correction. 

P.S. You’re both gay! *zing!*

P.P.S. Man, that homosexual humor really is comedic gold, isn’t it?

Ferrari, you seem to forget that the thing that matters most to a blogger is himself. That’s the point.

I’d write about the comic strike if I knew more. Then again, maybe I won’t let that stop me.

So, are you a scab?
