super bowl sunday

sunday night and still in houston; was supposed to go home today but it has been a cluster-fuck with southwest airlines, canceled flights and bad weather in vegas so ended up staying with brookie and edward and watching the superbowl. what a game! best super bowl i have seen, though i have not seen all that many. did go to one though. that was sometime in the early 70's in los angeles for the raiders and vikings. raiders beat them handlily if i remember correctly. that i remember anything from then is sort of a miracle since we had partied all night long then night before and staggered out of an after-hours club around noon to go to the game.....

for michaelet, sorry i didn't get to do the escape story on the last show saturday night. that was the third show that evening and i just couldn't get myself in the proper state of mind to do that particular story. i thought the late show went well anyway, just not a storytelling show. the mid show saturday was our drunk and talkative show of the week....hope none of you were at that one.

and for those who have followed my little battle in the comment section, no, the alleged writer who was going to see me in houston and who said they thought obamanymous made some"good points" did not take me up on my offer to see me face to face and reason together. it was just the same writer writing in under another name to praise themselves. lol.

super tuesday should be very interesting; i think the republican side will be sown up by mc clain but the demos could go all the way to the convention. hillary, if she is going to win it, needs to win it now; obama gains on her seems like every day and if given enough time will eventually catch and pass her. if obama is the democratic nominee, he will win in a landslide over any republican. i think the republicans would much rather hillary was our candidate but she would win as well but it would be closer.

back to the shows here: i did the escape story twice which makes it four times on a stage. one, the first show of the week, was really good but the other time i felt it was rather flat. if you were at one of those shows write me and give your take on it.

here in houston i do a "traffic" routine which just absolutely kills in houston. the drivers here are so bad that they know they are bad and they are proud of it. i wrote that routine very early in my career and to this day will have people peeing on themselves in houston when they hear it. it is only simple rock and roll but i like it.

so, back to vegas to do radio show and play poker then in couple of weeks off to reno. in may, rhonda and i are going to new orleans for the jazz and heritage festival which should be fantastic. we are seeing stevie wonder, the neville brothers and billy joel and then right before we leave there we have tickets for jimmy buffet, whom rhonda has never seen but i have. she will have a great time. i used to go to this festival way back before the tourists discovered it and i am waiting to see how it has evolved.

oh well, all for now. play well.

We went to your show on Friday but had to leave right afterwards and so didn't have a chance to stick around and talk with you about Obanomous. Maybe next time. We still feel Obanomous had some great insights that contradicted your particular point of view.

Ron,

Ended up going to the late show Friday night, the show rocked except for some of the people in the crowd that would not shut up. It was first time to get a chance to see you live, I defn enjoyed it, and hope you come by down to Houston again.

I'll have to catch the escape from LA county next time, I yelled it out at the end, right before you finished up with the great sex story :)

Stupid Giants, ruin my perfect season :(

Was at the Friday late show with michaelet and it was one of my favorite times seeing you, second only to the Arlington show a few months back. Thanks for signing the CDs for my wife Stacy and for doing a great Van Seats. Looking forward to the radio show and the next time you make it down to Texas.
