A NEW YEAR
Happy 2009, everyone. Hope this finds you well. The first few months of the year will find me very busy personally and professionally. I’ve got a number of new dates on the calendar, including some “Bob & Tom All-Star” shows this spring. Those are always a blast. In fact, a bunch of us just did a crazy New Year’s Eve show in downtown Grand Rapids. Good times.
Also this spring will be my first headlining week at the St. Louis Funny Bone at Westport. I had one scheduled last May, but had to cancel when I got invited to be on ‘Frank TV’. St. Louis is my hometown, so its great to get to go back as a headliner after all these years. It will be a fun week, except for third show Saturday. I mean let’s be honest, right Behrens? That’s gonna suck. I doubt that Matt Behrens from the Funny Bone reads this. Does any one read this? Probably not. BUT, I have to update it every now and again just so it seems like someone’s minding the store.
I’ve been on a fun (and convenient) Texas run of late — a few weeks ago I worked the Dallas Improv. I headlined some nights and the others I opened for Craig Robinson from “The Office”, who could not have been a nicer dude. And that club has one of the best office/bar/wait staffs in the country. Next week I’m at the Cap City in Austin with my old buddy Paul Oddo opening for me, and then next month I’m headlining my old home club, the Houston Laff Stop, where I started stand-up ten years ago this year. I’ll be sure to blog about that when the time comes.
Oh and by the way, I’m well aware of the overly positive tone of this journal; everything’s “great” and “fun” and “flap-jackety delicious!”. Its not that I’m lying or anything, I just save all my less professional snarky and negative thoughts for the myspace blog.
Until next time,
MACRAAAAEEE!
