Lots of news and things. This weekend, I”m featuring in Madison, WI with my good buddy Frank Roche. We had the college night show with some great Chicago guests last night, it was a blast. I’ll be there tonight and tomorrow, having fun trying all kinds of crazy pizza slices from Ian’s on State Street. Last night, Ashlee and I were slayed by a Mac and Cheese/Chilli Cheese Frito Pizza combo. Twas a delight.

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.

We’re finalizing the date for the DVD taping, it looks like it’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.

I’m also working on producing a new show with my good friends Pablo Rodriguez and Pat Chase. The show is called Cheapshots and it’s going to be at Murphy’s Pub in Forest Park, IL. It’ll be a monthly showcase at an awesome place with a lot of great comics involved.  Stay tuned.

I just had a great weekend at the Chicago Improv in Schaumburg, IL emceeing with the hilarious Blaine Capatch and Greg Behrendt.

They were both incredibly nice guys and we had an awesome weekend of shows. At one point during the last show, I asked the crowd, “What’s everyone doing after the show,” to which a very special lady in the front row replied, “YOU!” I had no idea what to say and just laughed with everybody else for a bit. It’s always fun to be caught off guard when you’re least expecting it.

We saw Indiana Jones this weekend before the last show, too. It was…interesting. A little too out there for my Indy taste but it was entertaining. Some good trailers were before the movie, including a much more explanatory one for Hancock. It shows that he’s like a cocky superhero, which I thought Will Smith kind of already was. After all, he makes “this suit look good,” in like every movie.

I’ve been reading a ton of comics lately, mostly Batman. I read Volume One of Hush and a ton of other short collections. I’m working on Alan Moore’s The Watchmen right now, so I’m caught up for when the awesome looking movie comes out sometime in the near future.

My mom asked me what I thought of her wearing some sort of Usher fragrance she ripped out of a magazine the other day. I don’t really know what I think of it. Why is Usher all up on my mom?

I’m going to be hopefully getting some viral videos up and running on YouTube and here soon. I have a web series I’m working on with my pal Steve Nelson and it should be glorious. Stay tuned.
