+ Awkward moments \\ 07.03.08

Thank you Aadil for sending this my way. The only thing more awkward than Bill Walton talking about basketball is Bill Walton talking basketball with his son Luke Walton.


Look at Luke’s face at 3:02.

‘Thanks Dad...Happy Fathers Day’. Gold.

+ One of those days \\ 07.02.08

I decided for this blog post I’ll step away from the random video posts, funny pictures, and random observations that I usually fill this blog with. I’ll keep it real with you guys and let you know how the past week or so has been for me. Lately, I’ve been going through some rough periods artistically and really trying to refine my act and add a new ten to fifteen minutes of fresh material to my repertoires--I know that seems like quite the stretch but my goal is to grow as much as a comic as I possibly can in a 12 month period of time. Despite all the BS that you go through as a comic; I’m trying to use those moments of frustration as milestones to look at and say ‘Hey, I promise myself I’m NOT going to be here in 12 months. I’m going to be on the other side. The positive side of things’ Whether its an audition that I didn’t get to be a part of, a show that I would have liked to be on, etc. Whatever it is in life--whether its work, comedy, whatever; I’m trying to grow as much as I possibly can in these next 12 months. Hopefully comedy will be that driving tool. I moved to the bay area April 2nd, 2008--let’s see what happens by April 2009.

Just had my set at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley, CA. I had a great set, met a bunch of really great comics, and Robin Williams showed up and did a killer 45 minute set to close the show. It’s crazy how a year ago I remember visiting the theater and trying to find a way to get up and now that time finally came and I knocked it out the park.

It made me think about a conversation I recently had with a fellow comic friend of mine where he talked all about timing. That a lot of times as comics we work so hard on our craft in thankless venues, open mics, shitty bookers, and comics that hate on you--and then one day it all seems to come together; you have a great set, the crowd is amazing, everyone seems to love you, and for some reason or another you get to share the stage with Robin Williams. I guess it’s like Jay says, it’s the ‘Allure’ of the game. It keeps you hooked. And no matter how many crappy gigs you have in between its moments like these that make it all worth it and you want more.

I’m really lucky to have had this opportunity at 22 and God willing there will be a whole lot more in the future.

Oh, and you’re probably wondering why I didn’t take a picture with Robin; I don’t know I think since after my Patton incident it hasn’t really striked me as an important thing to do. Not to mention while he was on stage people were whipping out their blackberries and phones and snapping and recording away; to which he responded ‘I’m not a piece of meat!’ So as a comic I wasn’t trying to perpetuate that.
