			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just in Appleton, WI this past weekend at the Skyline Comedy Cafe with two hilarious guys, Cy Amundson and Chad Daniels. We laughed, we drank, we played Wiffle Ball. That&#8217;s a good weekend.</p>
<p>The weekend shows were taped for Rooftop Comedy, so I should have a few clips up on there sometime soon.  Also, I had the best Mac and Cheese Pizza ever in Appleton at Sal&#8217;s Pizza. You win again, cheese state.</p>
<p>This week/weekend, I&#8217;m at Western Illinois University on Wednesday and then Giggles in Brookfield Thursday-Saturday. Looking forward to heading back to Macomb, IL and the old college grounds in the Fall, that&#8217;ll be great. I&#8217;ll post some new videos (and maybe a new web series?) sometime soon from these eventful two weeks.</p>
<p>Finally, I&#8217;m taping this DVD I&#8217;ve been blabbing about for some time! The date is October 21st at the fantastic LOL Theater in Schaumburg, IL on the Streets of Woodfield. It don&#8217;t get much rougher than the mean Streets of Woodfield. There&#8217;s a Legoland AND a Starbucks. Watch your ass in da streets.</p>
<p>But yeah, the show is at 8pm and it&#8217;s $10 or $15 and you get two drink tickets. Anthony Sarfino and I will be doing around 40 minutes each. I&#8217;ll hopefully have the DVDs within a month after the taping for sale after shows and on the website.</p>
<p>Oh and I ordered a new batch of t-shirts. I&#8217;ll have them tomorrow, same shirt, but darker/royal blue and I took my website off. No one reads a shirt and goes to the website right? Unless you just did and now you&#8217;re hear. In that case, I&#8217;d feel like and idiot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lots of news and things. This weekend, I&#8221;m featuring in Madison, WI with my good buddy <a href="http://www.comedianfrankroche.com/">Frank Roche</a>. We had the college night show with some great Chicago guests last night, it was a blast. I&#8217;ll be there tonight and tomorrow, having fun trying all kinds of crazy pizza slices from <a href="http://www.ianspizza.com/html/stateStreet.html">Ian&#8217;s on State Street</a>. Last night, Ashlee and I were slayed by a Mac and Cheese/Chilli Cheese Frito Pizza combo. Twas a delight.</p>
<p>Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with two awesome comics, Bobcat Goldthwait and Christopher Titus. They both were real gents and gave me some great advice. The Improv is such a fun place to work, I want to work them all.</p>
<p><a class="tt-flickr tt-flickr-Medium" title="bobcat" href="http://ryanbudds.com/pictures/photo/3909894308/bobcat.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2464/3909894308_1f4018bea3.jpg" alt="bobcat" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">We&#8217;re finalizing the date for the DVD taping, it looks like it&#8217;s gonna be Oct. 21st, which is a Wednesday. Trying to come up with a title, some ideas for extra stuff for the DVD, and cool ways to promote the show.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also working on producing a new show with my good friends Pablo Rodriguez and Pat Chase. The show is called Cheapshots and it&#8217;s going to be at Murphy&#8217;s Pub in Forest Park, IL. It&#8217;ll be a monthly showcase at an awesome place with a lot of great comics involved.  Stay tuned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight and tomorrow night at 8pm and 10pm I&#8217;ll be at the brand new comedy club in Crestwood, IL called <a href="http://readysetshowtime.com/">SHOWTIME</a>. It&#8217;s a really nice place and hopefully it&#8217;ll be packed. We&#8217;ve gotta compete with the Crestwood Fest where a few members of the band <a href="http://eventful.com/midlothian_il/events/asia-featuring-john-payne-/E0-001-020891049-6">ASIA</a> are playing this weekend, but besides that, we&#8217;re golden.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also at <a href="http://ashbary.com/">Ashbary&#8217;s Coffee House</a> tonight AFTER Showtime at around midnight with the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=110065819283&amp;ref=ts">Hot Cup of Comedy</a> gang, as well as tomorrow BEFORE Showtime at around 7pm. 6 shows, 2 days, lots of drinks.</p>
<p>Sunday night <a href="http://mikeyocomedy.com/last_loco_standing_at_joe_s">Last Loco Standing 2009</a> starts and I&#8217;m hosting this thing with 11 other hilarious Chicago comics competing for the title and some money. It&#8217;s every Sunday night in August at 8pm at <a href="http://www.joesbar.com/index.php?module=news&amp;file=news&amp;id=19">Joe&#8217;s on Weed </a>St. downtown.</p>
<p>Last night I had a show in Spring Lake Michigan at a Holiday Inn. It was a blast. Some people got some shirts which is always nice, and there were lots of drunken Michigannies slurring their speech to me before, during, and after the show.</p>
<p>Last thing, there&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.yelp.com/events/frankfort-jestivals-comedy-charity-night-jennys-steakhouse">great show</a> going on in Frankfort, IL on Wednesdays in August, ticket sales go to charity and they&#8217;ve got good comics up every week. I&#8217;m on there August 19th, so stop by and say hello.</p>
<p>Busy busy busy.</p>
