Not many people were dressed up when I was out today. I didn’t go out to any clubs or anything though. Maybe it would have been different out there tonight. Not really a holiday person myself, but Halloween would probably be my favorite if I had to pick. Hitting the sack early tonight. I need [...]
Writing didn’t go so well today. No one had anything great. There were a few laughs, but nothing close to what the class has the potential to put out. My sketch fell way short. There were a couple of good suggestions to make it better, but I am not even sure if I want to [...]
McKenzie brought some of her polish friends over and they brought wine and a movie. It was called The Million Dollar Hotel. Wim Wenders movie. Great film. We got to talking about films. It was a nice night.
Boston Red Sox just won the World Series, sweeping the Colorado Rockies. Good post season, but I wish the Cubs would win something once in a while. I guess there is always next year. Ha. Bears lose to the Lions. Man they suck. Can’t Tackle, Can’t Run the Ball, Can’t Do much right. Devin Hester [...]
I seem to be thinking a lot about bars lately. I go to bartending school in the mornings, then head over to Corcoran’s for lunch and “research” where I do some sketch writing, then when I come home there is more writing, studying of drinks, or going out to different bars. I sure am learning [...]
Left for bartending class at 8 this morning and had that, then improv and writing, and then drinking. I just now made it home at 1am. I am very tired. Have to be up at 7am for class again. I am too old for this stuff. Jack McBrayer, from 30 Rock, was at Corcoran’s tonight. [...]
Watched What About Bob? for our first official Movie Monday. It was a funny movie and a good way to restart the tradition. It is going to be a tiring few weeks. I need to get to bed and rest up.
I was talking to Larry Gates last week about the local music scene in Chicago. It seems to me that there are a lot of locals that dismiss Chicago bands. I noticed that there was a show at Schuba’s tonight featuring a couple of local bands, so I thought that I would check it out. [...]
October 21st is usually my strongest of the year. I feel like anything is possible. I passed up a fun video project today, because I know it isn’t really the direction that I want to be going. It is hard for me to pass up something like that. I just realized that it would have [...]
Went to improv class today. It is getting a lot more in depth now. It is becoming a real learning thing. I was even contemplating getting serious with it. I know that up until now I have just been having fun, but I am starting to enjoy that challenge of it all. You have to [...]
