Hi there, long time no read. So my new operation, Comedy Works at Joe Franklin's is going in full force these days. I started the room with Adam Hunter, my friend who ran most of the shows at Gladys' Comedy Room. Basically, we were being treated like shit over there - not just us, but all the comics - so Adam and I decided to do something about it. After a couple weeks of searching for a new room, we finally were able to work out a deal with Joe Franklin's and the rest is history. Opening night was about 2 weeks ago and everything has been great so far. The room looks great, the crowds have been excellent and the comics are all re-engergized and feeling good. We've really brought in some great comics including Bob Jergens, Warren Holstien, Melissa Rauch and Tarun Shetty. Now its just a race to see who can get discovered first. Or who goes crazy first, we'll see.

Lemme think what else is going on. Oh yea, I hit a game winning runner last night in my Urban Pro basketball game. Our team, "Full Court Depression" (Good name, right?) is now 2-2 and back in the playoff hunt. I think if Kobe and Shaq both get injured we just might have a chance to go all the way.

In other news, I got my laptop back from the good people at Gateway. I don't know why you would consider that news, but I just report this stuff, I don't make judgement calls.

I'm looking for an apartment now, which, if you have never done in NYC, is not fun at all. I thought we were in some kind of recession or depression or something like that yet you can't find a two bedroom for under 2200 bucks. I'm considering a studio on the moon if my credit check goes through.

I had another falling out with the people over at Subway today because I requested turkey instead of ham on the Italian BMT. There is a lot of tension when I go into that place. I think there is a picture of me in the back room. What's worng with these people? The guy told me that the meat is on inventory in the computer and that's what they can't do the switch. Wonderderful...Subway, eat fresh, just not what you want.
