Snakes on Crack!

So the opening weekend of "Snakes on a Plane" has come and gone, and I am admittedly a little sad that the roller coaster ride has ended. Though the movie experience itself was the stuff dreams are made of!

On opening night Alicia and I found ourselves in a theatre full of people as excited as we were about this movie. (Read: Dorks) But it really added to the whole movie-going experience, because people were constantly hissing and screaming and flailing about. Yeah, folks. It was just that good. Gratuitous violence + Stereotypical characters + Predictable plotlines + Samuel L dropping 'm-er f-er' lines = The Feel Good Film of the Summer. Stop putting it off, everyone. Start living TODAY!

Busy enough week for me-out and about in the city seeing friends and consuming alcohol. The friends were just icing on the cake, really. I did another show at the New York Comedy Club on Tuesday, and for some reason they have asked me back again tomorrow night. I'm delighted, because it's a great room and I would love to keep it in rotation.

Looking to try some new material, or even a new frame of mind when I get up tomorrow night. I know that the comedy scene in NY is different than the scene was in DC; and bearing that in mind, I also know that I have to start all over again as far as convincing a lot of fellow comics that I have as much a right to be on stage as they do. It's a bit of a trial sometimes, but I understand that it's just something I have to accept and rise above if I want to make comedy my life.

Just as I accept and understand that while he seems very real to me, Cookie O'Puss is in fact an ice cream cake, and not a Slavic assassin sent by the Carvel people to kill me.

Too bad it doesn't help me sleep at night...
