It's official - 3 days in a row I weighed in at 175 pounds. SO that means I have lost 37 pounds since 2008. Not too shabby. So how did we celebrate? We had McDonald's. Brilliant. That's like a guy quitting smoking and celebrating with chewing tobacco.

Jason Blanchard (www.jasonblanchard.com) booked me on a gig for Monday in downtown Toronto. I love the last-minute pop-up bookings and I heard from him that it was a good show last year so....this year will be iffy. It always is. Whenever you show up to a show it's always one person that says "man - it was SO PACKED last year - I don't know why no one showed up this year". This show is more like a corporate show I guess so people will show up but hopefully it will be as fun as last year.

I'm doing the show with Darryl Purvis - a guy I've known for 6 or 7 years I think. The last time we met up was at a golf tournament in the summer with Don and Minnie Courts. That was fun - the only thing was that I was apparently the best golfer - and DAT AIN'T GOOD. I shoot mid-90's but most of the good golfers are in the 70's. We had fun regardless and took advantage of the open-bar that was open one hour before the tourney.

We're doing 2 shows together next week and I also booked him on a 3rd show in the same week but i won't be performing as I did it last year. That show is on Friday, January 28th in Belleville at the Empire Theatre and it is by far our most successful show. I'm going to show up to see how the turnout is and how the show goes. Belleville's only 45 minutes away so it's a pretty easy drive.

Just so you know - if you do a show one year - you should not do the show the next year. If it's an annual event no one wants to see the same guy again. FYI.
