I Love Small Towns

Dave Paterson (www.davepaterson.ca), Andrew Evans (youtube him as he for whatever reason does not have a website) and myself ventured out to Clarence Creek on Saturday night to do a minor hockey fundraiser.

As usual - we always forget something. I asked Andrew to bring the mic stand. He brought everything else EXCEPT the mic stand. He brought the mic clip - smart guy. While I was making fun of him for this I realized that I forgot my wallet in Kingston. SO....I guess we're even.

Andrew also told me he brought a spotlight - and I thought that was brilliant. I didn't realize he had one and since mine was in Toronto this worked out perfectly. That's what I thought anyway until he showed me. He actually only brought the bulb. So we have a bulb but nothing to put it in. I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with this - maybe lift it up over our heads whenever we have a good idea - I dunno.

Our hotel was in Rockland so when we checked in the girl at the front desk was giving me directions to my room. There are only 2 floors and my room started with a 2 (225) so I thought I could piece it together myself but I thought I'd listen anyway. She said that it was on the right-hand side then corrected herself and said left-hand. I asked if my room was the one with 225 on the door. She did not laugh - so....I left to my room.

The show was awesome - probably about 120 people there and they had a lot of fun. Dave had the best set I've seen him do.

I love doing these shows. When we bring our show to a town that doesn't have a comedy venue they are always very appreciative. When you feel welcome at a place it makes the evening so much better.

Oh - and I thought I would leave my comedy writing book in Clarence Creek as a thank-you. It is either at the arena or in the hotel - twas fun while it lasted. And it has my journal from Afghanistan in there too so that's GREAT.
