feel the urge to catalog and brag about my comedy accomplishments in the last week, so i might as well do it somewhere where no one is listening anyways:
1. did a solid set at Meatheads. got off 'stage' and Myracle handed me an application for the Battle of the Comics, saying i should enter. also, another comic named Shelly got my number because apparently she is the local comedian rolodex. she said i was really funny and she'd be in touch about shows. who should call the next day but Shelly to offer a set at Tommy Rocker's on friday.
2. did really well at Tommy Rocker's. booked another set for two weeks later. the host liked me. ended up being the best night of my life (6/25/10, in case you wanna know later on).
3. the monday before i went to Mulligan's Landing to check out their comedy night. inquired, got a dude's name, found him on facebook, messaged him, ended up being a very nice guy and he got me a slot at the next show. didn't do terribly well, but one of the guys, rhino, who is helping start up freevegascomedy.com said they wanted to showcase new and interesting comedians, took me aside for an interview, and said he'd post my whole set on the site in the next couple of days. and he ended up doing this.
4. did Meatheads open mic. again, didn't do terribly well, but as soon as i got off stage, Angie and Myracle asked if i wanted to host next week. who knows if this will actually end up happening, but that would be crazy.

now, i realize these are pretty modest accomplishments, but i've done stand-up seven times, i'm not good by any means yet, but all this has happened. not sure what it means, but i gotta realize it doesn't mean anything. i just need to keep doing my thing.
man this ride is bumpy. but damn. those ups are fucking worth it.
