It's the Lastest Craze!

Yesterday was a fan-freakin'-tastic day!

I spent all day at the Comedy College in a workshop with Eddie Brill. For those of you who don't know, Eddie Brill is a comedian, and he is the booker for the Letterman show. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about. We spent the entire day watching the other comics and giving feedback. I no longer have a voice in the back of my head to censor myself when giving feedback to my peers. It's beneficial.

Then we had the Battle of the Bay Finals.

That was probably one of the best shows I have ever been able to participate in. I had a blast! The -Sold Out- crowd's energy was fantastic! I was all in my head before the competition. I'm just naturally competitive, and tonight was the one night I wish I wasn't. It doesnt' matter. We all are amazing and you can't compare comedy. But for those 10 minutes I was on stage, there was no competition... it was just me, the audience, and a mic. That's all I need. I thrived off of that energy. For 10 minutes I got to do what I love and do it well. I got to share that experience with an amazing audience that included some of my friends and family, and my fellow comedians, who I not only admire and respect, but are also the people I love to hang out with. There are a lot times where I feel like that 6 year old in the neighboorhood that wants to play stickball with the other neighboorhood kids that are all 10 or 11 years old. I can't believe they let me play along with them. In the past few months I have finally felt like my life is making sense, and having some direction. And I thank you all for your comments, critiques, shoulders to lean on, and your support. Thanks for letting this kid hang out with you all.
