We really are excited about it and now that excitement has increased ten-fold after the two shows we hosted up in Vancouver, after the two we hosted in Montreal. And why does Canada get to have all the fun?

Especially now that our dollar is so week that any advantage we used to have is now wiped away and we have reached "parity" with them? Bob and I would like nothing more than to take our little shindig on the great American road called, "the road", but it's just too hard with him having a family and both he and Naomi working full time jobs. Sometimes I wish that Bob was a bitter, lonely bachelor who lived for those moments that we were together on stage. Other times I wish that he were a cute, short, Asian girl with big tits. Not necessarily from Japan or Korea either, I'd even take a Pakistani or Lao. I know it would be weird but I'm open to the idea. I'm going to concentrate on this wish. We could do hilarious takes on cosplay and shoving small octopi in ones vagina (if he turned out to be Japanese of course). I'm having dinner with Patton tonight, who's here in NY opening for Ahmadinejad at the U.N. Last time I had dinner with him I won $1,000 bucks by successfully predicting the Iraq war would take place. I'll see what kind of equally easy bet I can coax out of him this time. I think I'm going to go with, "Bush caught urinating in public before his term is up". Also I think people, especially reporters, should stop calling him "President Bush" and just say, "Bush".
"Uh, yeah, Bush, David Gregory, NBC news, Can you expound on what you meant yesterday when you said, 'trees is helpful things'?"

Awww man, I said I wouldn't do it but I did it anyway! When will I learn? I just read a review of the Vancouver shows which I really enjoyed doing by the way, and someone named Guy MacPherson, who reviews comedy for "The Georgia Strait", one of the weekly's there, wrote the following:

Probably the most famous name at the fest was David Cross, who gained mass appeal with his role as Tobias on Arrested Development, but his was a mixed bag. Doing standup, he's just an angry know-it-all who appears to hate his time on-stage almost as much as he hates his fans. Appearing last in the almost-three-hour Comedy Death Ray show, Cross insulted First Nations people and drug addicts before going on a seemingly endless - and humourless - rant about Mormonism, hemming and hawing his way through an ill-prepared set. But what a pleasure it was to watch him the next night in Match Game, where he smiled, laughed, and enjoyed himself, and in the SKETCH Show on September 22, also at the Cultch, where he was reunited with former Mr. Show partner Bob Odenkirk.

Hmmm, well, I don't hate my fans, nor do I hate doing stand-up. I'm sorry if I gave (or give) that impression, but as I said, I genuinely like doing it. That's why I flew to Vancouver for the shows. And I actually like it when people like my act. Not too surprising really. I certainly don't do it for the money. 7 shows for a thousand bucks total is not very lucrative. I made more money middling at "The Laugher's Den" in Made-Up-Town, New Hampshire. It's true though; I did insult drug-users, specifically heroin addicts. So, sorry junkies. Also I did insult a "First Nationer", or "drunk Indian" as I called her. It was after she stood up in her chair, and yelled out that she didn't have a TV to a rhetorical question I asked. Then, I guessed that she was a drunk Indian, which it turns out was correct. She wasn't insulted (at least not then – she waited for me after the show to drunkenly apologize in a drunk Indian way). I then talked about drunk Indians for a minute. I am not angry about drunk Indians at all by the way, I find them adorable. Here, from the same article is an example of the kind of humor Guy enjoys:

Former locals Irwin Barker and Darryl Lenox got me all nostalgic about the good old days when we could see these two pros just about any day of the week. Lenox talked about his girlfriend's hippie parents, who served him porridge for breakfast: "I didn't even know that shit was real." And Barker, who's suffering from cancer, is still writing gems: "I bought the book France for Dummies because I've always wanted to see Buckingham Palace."

To each his own I say!

I am in the process of updating the sorely in need of updating Links list. I will write a haiku for each as a matter of description. See ya's laters!
