Remind Me Not To Schedule Two Back-to-Back Performances Like This Again

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Salon interview went okay-to-well. I met Scott Rosenberg! I'll find out by the end of next week.

I was so exhausted by the evening that I didn't practice my act nearly enough and therefore floundered semi-amusingly onstage. Fortunately, not too many people I know witnessed me. Several other funny comics performed, including Mike Spiegelman of Fresh Robots fame. I got to casually hang out with a Fresh Robot! Lori Chapman and Shanique (?) Scott also made a formidable impression. Tony Sparks and Danny Dechi rounded out the ad hoc troupe. Note that they all did better than me. Much better.

Mike joked about drinking to forget, and thus precluded me from actually doing so. Thanks, Mike!

Now, sleep. Sleep, Data.
