I worked out for this first time in a long time and I felt really good after, I need to start doing that again. Then, my girlfriend and I went out to eat to a bar down the street and it happened to be there open mic night, which we were unaware of beforehand and until we heard someone doing a mic check. We've been surprised by an open mic before at a brewery we tried at the last minute for dinner, and we had to sit through basically one guy with a guitar rotate with two other comedians who were the only ones there for about an hour. So we thought long and hard about leaving for a second, but we already ordered our beers so we decided to stay. There was a long list of more than 20 names (I'm guessing, we stayed for about 14-15 people), and it was only for comedians. Each act only had four minutes to perform, and it was a shit show. We were basically the only people who weren't there to perform besides the owner and the bartender. There were a couple of funny jokes, and two people who we actually looked at each other and thought "he actually didn't suck," (there was only one girl) but you could tell these guys were not ready for their set, nervous, or just flat out not funny. I have to give them props because I would be nervous as hell and wouldn't get a single laugh, but most of these people need to stick to their day jobs. It was an evening we'll never forget though, so I'm glad they decided to suck for us.
As someone who has attended many open mics and participated in a couple, that's pretty much how it goes. Almost no audience other than the comedians, they've all heard each other's shit and are focused on their own set so they're not laughing, they're either complete novices or working on new material that's untested, etc. It's not even about being funny. It's about being comfortable on the stage and seeing if something can work.
And yeah, I type out full posts and then lose interest or think better of it all the time. Maybe not quite as often as I should, though.

A bad open mic is a good reminder that stand up comedy is really, really hard to do well. Not only do you have to have good material, you also have to deliver it well, and hit all your beats. The best stand up comedians make it look so easy.
Like the old joke goes, what's the difference between a good joke and a bad joke timing.
Unrelated, does anyone else type out posts all the time and then think "nah that was dumb," and just delete it all?
I'd say I actually post about 60% of the posts I type out. So yes, what you get from me is only the high quality content that make it past my rigorous self-review system, the true crème de la crème.

Anyone have a water bottle they like to use for hiking? I'll be doing some hiking next month and will be out on various trails for up to let's say 10 miles at a time. No back country so it doesn't have to be something over-the-top.
Hey y'all. Do yourself a favor and add the chrome extension Word Replacer II. Then let's say there is a condescending poster on here who posts ALL. THE. TIME. Who knows everything. You can change his name to Asshole Know-it-all and then you can at least have a laugh.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Going into Petco Stadium. It's my first non-Yankee stadium game. Go Padres?!
The Padres aren't very good, but it's a step in the right direction.
its top of the 7th and they're beating the nationals. I don't really follow the national league though so maybe the nationals suck this year. This is a great stadium though.
My Yankees beat the Sux so... it's a good baseball night.

Poll: replace my sig with upcoming shows like some users have or keep Kermit and Fozzie gif?
Also, just learned they're doing the freaking Muppets live at the Hollywood Bowl in September. Won't be able to go, but dammit they need to bring that to Coachella or something next year.

I'm with spent and keep the gif. You seem like you go to a ton of shows and keeping up with that is a PITA.
Didn't OSL snag Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem last year? It's plausible they would do other shows at other festivals.
