All the folks at the Charleston Comedy Festival do. Even those lowly charleston improv newbies working the festival…ahem….
Unless you live in Chicago or New York (or maybe even Minneapolis) - - - damn, I think that’s where like 82% of y’all are from - - - you don’t get this much funny packed into such a small time frame. So, if you’re within a couple hours of our fair city, consider stopping in for a show or six.
Here’s the link for more info. Charleston Comedy Festival
Hope those of you ’round here can make a few shows…those that can’t - well, you can just send this page to five friends and Bill Gates will pay each of you $10,000, the Nigerian embassy will deposit $25,000,000 U.S. dollars into your checking account, and if you make a wish, it will come true in 30 days.
I’m in my second week of looking for work, and I’m learning some things about my world and myself during this time.
1) Most attorneys’ clients, and most bookkeepers/beekeepers/paralegals/private investigators HAD to have been homebodies from the hours of 11:00AM - 3:00PM. There is NOTHING on at that time.
2) I can only wear one’s pajamas until noon. Then I feel like I should consider enrolling in bookkeeping/librarian/paralegal/private investigation school.
3) The Internet is huge.
4) Anything can become an addiction. Searching for cool jobs is mine currently. I spent 6.5 hours online Tuesday doing nothing but scouring Monster, HotJobs, and classifieds from major dailies across the country. Have one you think we’ll like (Annie and I are both looking for work)? Email it to us. Us, as in Jay and Annie. I haven’t been in a shut in that long. yet.
5) Even though I get bored, and sad, and worried, and scared sometimes…it still beats the alternative.
6) People are generally good. They just forget sometimes.
7) I have lots of spare time on my hands now. Yet I still can’t find the time to clean my car…
8) Quitting smoking is hard. But it gets a little easier each day.
9) Our next podcast (out very very soon) is gonna be great, y’all. In the past week:
a) I’ve performed in front of an audience of 10 (there were 11 of us onstage)
b) I took roommate Matt to the emergency room cuz of some nasty oysters. Or tuna. We’re not sure which.
c) American Idol is back on. That’s right. I love that show.
d) I spoke with MLK who told me to declare Charleston, the new “Chocolate City, USA.”
10) I appreciate y’all comments and emails. They sho do help pass the time and make a poor, unemployed man feel loved.
See y’all soon!
-Jay
