Personal Department

In honor of whoever voted for more personal stories:

Last night I dragged myself downtown to attend the Improv's monthly happy hour despite being overworked and underslept. I am glad I did. The guys I met had a great attitude, plus the bar's jukebox had Asia's perennial hit "Heat of the Moment."

I was particulary impressed by the guy with the "just do it" attitude who told me to get out there and start performing stand-up ASAP. "Do 100 open-mic nights and you will see what you are made of..." It could have been just talk, but when he abandoned me mid-sentence to run outside the bar and chase down a blonde for her number, it occurred to me that maybe I could be more brazen with my stand-up career...
