Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?

 

Ok, it’s October now. You may not have noticed by the temperatures near 90, but according to my phone, we’re officially there. How did people know what day it was before we had smart phones? I hear tales of people hanging calendars on the wall and paying attention to the date that way. It seems primitive, but that’s all our ancient ancestors had.

So, now that is officially the month of Halloween, we can now indulge ourselves with all of the pumpkin spice treats that have been available since around May.

Just because corporations rush everything, doesn’t mean the rest of us have to follow the trend. A lot of you are probably already tired of pumpkin spice and ready to move on to the next holiday.

What do they do for the next holiday? There aren’t turkey flavored chips are there? I’ve never seen turkey ice cream or turkey beer…that doesn’t mean it hasn’t crossed somebody’s mind. If it hasn’t and you’re getting an idea from reading this…stop it, just stop it right now.

A Teaching Moment

 

As you read this, I’m between gigs in Wisconsin, Chicago and Indiana. I’ll be hanging with the best friend I ever made in this business, Nick Gaza. He’s the complete opposite of me. A gregarious, outgoing guy who makes friends and people around him laugh easily.

I, on the other hand, am an introvert offstage and people who don’t know me are usually afraid to approach me. I like it that way. On the other hand, psycho’s feel comfortable around me and approach me all the time. I don’t know why that is. I have no explanation.

Anyway, I will be taking the rest of the week off from this post as Nick and I work on what I hope will be a very funny video. Maybe two. If no videos come from our time together it’s probably because we finally got on each other’s nerves.

When I get home, I will be starting the next round of classes I teach. Beginning in October, I will have a second class at Community College of Allegheny County. One of the main things I stress in my Stand-Up classes is not to have an attitude before you have an act. You really should never have an attitude, but some people can’t help themselves.

My reason for writing this is a new person trying to get into the business, is starting by digging himself into a hole.

Apparently, he showed up for his first open mike and didn’t like the way things were handled. He put his name on the list and the list got shuffled and people were moved ahead of him. Here’s the deal. YOU’VE NEVER BEEN ONSTAGE BEFORE!
