Not sure what to write about today, so how about a life update...

Looks like The Comedy Company will be closing it's doors as of August 20th. This may be a temporary closing, or it might be a permanent one, we're still not sure. We do know for sure that they are doing some construction down there, and that the time has come for us to move on. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished at CC in the last 2 years. We gave the power back to the comics in a time when the clubs are pretty much abusing everyone. All our comics got to do more time and learn more from each other in an atmosphere that was something completely different from anything in the current stand-up landscape.

We've done comedy with no rules and no bullshit, and in some ways I guess that's why we're still relatively unknown, because the industry is always the last to know when something good is going on. And, while I'm not sure how I'm going to make my living after this, it's been incredible learning my craft with some great comedians, all on our own terms. Doing this under the radar has made it like our little secret, and now we've got to figure out how to share it with everyone else.

So, while overall I'm excited for this next phase, and I've got a couple cool things lined up that I'll discuss over the next few weeks, I am a little worried cuz my cash flow is about to come to a screaching halt. Yea, I'll hit the road more, so that'll be something, but not quite enough. Fortunately, I'm not a man of material things, so I'll be okay on way or another. I really don't need much to live besides rent and some food. Oh, and I'd like to get X-Men 2 on PS2 next month. That ain't too much to ask for is it?

As long as I'm discussing money, I should tell you I've made a whopping $26.28 from the Google Ads in the month that the've been up. That turns into almost a dollar a day, so if we keep that pace, I'll have almost a million dollars in a million days from right now. Patience is a virtue.

I'm thinking of putting up a Paypal button on here to let people donate to the Dave Fund. People sell themselves out in so many ways, but is it selling yourself out if you are just getting enough money to live onwhile you still chase your dream? Actually, I'm pretty sure that's the complete reverse of selling out. So, a Paypal button might be coming. And then, for just 12 cents a day you can help feed a starving boy in Africa. Err, I mean a starving boy on the Upper West Side.
