more indy dates for the old man
at last, a usuable computer. at the hotel in indy, the computers would not let me go to my blog because it contained "objectionable material." i didn't bother to ask anyone just how they determined this and, even more important, who did it because i was going to hear that home office did it and they, the local people, have no control over this. oh well.
indy went very well. the crowds were never large but with only the exception of second show saturday, they were very good. first show saturday was balls to the wall good and the owner/booker of the club was at that show and she wants me to play that club 3 times in a year and also wants me to be the new year's act for next year. back when i played indy multiple times per year i had a nice little following there and both ruth-anne and i both think it could be done again. while going to indy in the dead of winter is not all that appealing, it is nice, and an honor, to have a club like you and want you that much especially in today's economic times. not only that there are a lot of comics out there and to get 3 weeks in a year is a coup.
i have always been good about keeping myself booked. incidently, i never use an agent, i do my own booking and except for a very short time in the 80's, always have. i want to have a possible 30 weeks of work for me out there on any given year. not that i will work that many weeks because i won't as long as rhonda has a job but it is could to have for that "just in case" scenerio. know what i mean? i lost the trop in vegas but have replaced it with two other clubs and will probably get back in the riv and possibly in planet hollywood. i picked up a guy who has 4 clubs, okla city, tulsa, wichita and little rock of which i am working okc this year and will get all 4 next year. i get 11 weeks in texas next year, 6 in houston, 2 in san antonio and then ft. worth, dallas and arlington. i also picked up providence, rhode island this year and 4 casinos in northern california. of course, i will be in hilton head a couple of times per year, chattanooga once, louisville and lexington, sacramento and san francisco punch lines, ( i am s.f. week-before-christmas-act each year which is cool because rhonda can with me and san francisco does christmas right) sarasota is once a year as is (i think) mrytle beach but i may not get back in there, i felt as though i wasn't sure just how much the owners like me. i am also going back to anne arbor next year. i would like to have more clubs in the west but i don't. i ought to take shot at portland, vancouver and seattle but probably won't. once the economy is back on an even keel i will cut back to around 20 weeks per year plus a new years somewhere or another and that will be plenty.
my grand-daughter, paris, came over from purdue with her boyfriend to see the saturday shows. no, i don't change anything or censor myself in any way with her in room. she is a very impressive young woman, bright, insightful and quite pretty to top it all off. i told her that her grandmother, my first wife, was crazy and i know that she had made my daughter, stefanie, crazy as well and that i had been worried that stef would have then made her, paris, crazy as well. paris told me that thought had occured to her as well so she has been in therapy for the last couple of years. lol.
am in bloomington staying with friend of ours and will perform here tomorrow night and then off to louisville for the rest of this week.
another friend of mine, glen morshower, has major role in the new TRANSFORMER movie and he and i are going to the opening up in reno when i am performing there. glen is on 24, friday night lights and did have a reoccuring role on west wing. he is the person who got me started on hold-em way back when. OH, and something cool, in the movie glen plays a general named MORSHOWER. they liked his name so much they used it for the character...how cool is that?
hope to see amos chang this week, he is a poker-playing comic who used to be a cop. once they put us on the same bill as cops and robbers and did some nice press about it.
anyway, dat's all for now, folks.

Glad to hear you're coming back to Oklahoma City. I saw you back in the 90's at the old Jokers - best show I ever saw. I literally laughed myself sick. I'll definitely be there for this show.
dave,
jokers was a truly great club and i did indeed have some fabulous shows there. this will be my first time into this new club but i hear it is pretty good. we shall see this fall.
thanks for the nice comment, see you there.
I just wanted to say I met your friend Glenn Morshower once, and he was a really nice guy. I was visiting a high school friend of mine who was breaking into the movies in L.A. and Glenn was a friend of his. Glenn's show "C-16" had been canceled, unfortunately, and he came by to tell my friend about it, and then took us out for dinner, and he paid for mine. I also interviewed him with my micro cassette recorder for my low-watt radio show back here in Georgia, and he was nice enough to put up with my weak attempts at being David Letterman.
Anyhow it surprised me to see that guy's name here. Glad to hear he's still doing well.
