Getting ready for 2010

Wow,, Laura Mallory really did a tremendous job with the homepage of the web site !,
What a year, as I look back, I didn't realize how much we got done this past year !, I say we, because it takes a team, and I definately think I have a great team getting built for this comedy machine, that will be up and 100% running in 2010. Laura Mallory with the Woven Web, awesome!!. Go to the wovenweb.com and check it out.
New York was really inspiring, hopefully if you can , you have listened to the podcast and got all the details. The biogrophy of George Carlin really got me going, and thinking, big time ! By June this next year, I know I will have a whole new routine, that may take a whole different direction. It is going to be great. Making big plans for 2010. Happy Holidays !!

Live With Passion

I didn't know what to title this blog, so I decided to put in a "Tony Robbins" tag line. Why not. Well after a week in Reno, my first gig, for a week straight, 8 shows in six days, opening for Mike Marino !, it's time to put in a blog. I am going to still do the blog, even though I do the weekly podcast. I am pretty sure some people don't access the podcast, although all you have to do is click and listen. Bill Burr who does his weekly Monday Morning Podcast, doesnt do a blog any more, although he hasn't updated his web site yet, taking off the blog, since his last post was about a year ago. Believe it or not, after our week in Reno, Mike Marino went back to New Jersey for 3 or 4 days, then he flew back to California to do one show with me, a corporate show in San Luis Obispo Ca. It was great, right on the beach! The place was called appropriately enough, "Cliff's" resort. It's not mine, but so what, it's bears my name, so I'm glad it was top of the line posh. The show went great, it was a show for, Joint Regional Intelligence for Law Enforcement and Terrorism. It was a great group ! Awesome pay, awesome accommodations. Up next, an 8 minute set at the Ice House for Comedy Time Tv, and then were off to New York City, Manhattan during Christmas is awesome !! Thats all for now, keep checking out the weekly podcast if you haven't already.

What a Summer

Hi everyone !, with a weekly podcast I'm not sure if doing a blog also is necessary, or good or bad. It's on the web site, so I can't see it sitting there with an old date on it.  This summer was something fantastic.  Going back to the summer place for a wonderful week, with the Wife, Kids, parents, was perfect, just too short.  But we had to set off for Spain, it was a great two weeks, but we were definately ready for home.  The Comedy Benefit shows, specifically my homecoming show, turned out perfect.  After planning these shows for over eight months, there was a lot to coordinate, and keep track of.  It was a very emotional and rewarding trip.  Seeing so many friends and family.  Many friends I hadn't seen for 30 years.  Raising money for my fallen classmates was great, and very sad to reflect on them being taken so young.  So many of the hometown folks came together, to raise money in their honor.  It was really special to be able to have Mike Marino headline the shows !,, he was unbelievably terrific, as expected !!  We have to do it again next year, and what a great problem we have, in needing a bigger venue, we had to stop marketing the Caledonia show and turn people away.. I can't stop thanking enough my Caledonia people who came through for the show.  Loree Harrington, Bob Blair, Jim Guillen, everyone at the Caledonia Country Club, you all were awesome !. Back to rehearsing and writing for my week in Reno, at the Silver Legacy Casino, opening for Mike Marino.

Getting Ready for New York

Less than sixty days until the big homecoming show in Caledonia, and the Carey Lake Show in Pennfield. Both shows are charity events, and my hometown show is really going to be something special. All proceeds are going to benefit the Totsie Cook, Danny Coyle Scholarship. Both thes guys were high school friends and from my class of 75. This year we lost another from our class, who was my closest friend in high school, Jerry Forsyth. I think we are going to sell out the Caledonia Country Club, with many from the class of 75 showing their support. I think it's going to be a real emotional show for myself and those who were close to thes guys. I know it's going to be a real comedy sensation, we were lucky to lock in New Jerseys Bad Boy, Mike Marino early, since we booked him, he shot a pilot for a sitcom based on his life. He is currently at the just for laughs comedy festival in Montreal. TV guide Canada did a full article on Mike in their latest issue. It's going to be a great show, were going to present a check on the night of the show to Totsie's and Danny's family, there are only about 40 tickets left, so those, especially for the class of 75, if your reading this,, get on the web site and get those tickets, it will be great to get together for this special cause..

First Podcast

Well I did the first podcast !,, ofcourse as I say on the podcast, the purpose was, I could do away with the blogging, it seems the next step up. I can't yet decide to remove it from my site.  And this blog feeds into the notes on facebook,,,hmm I could just keep doing the blog, and just say see podcast.. Well anyway it went well, in the fact I got a lot of positive feedback, on my sillyness with garageband, I couldn't help it, it was too much fun creating an imaginary producer, and studio audience..  I will continue to do it every Thursday.  It's easer to listen, while your doing other things, than to read a cold text blog... Thanks for everyones positive comments on the podcast, keep tuning in..

Hacienda Golf Course

Played a great round of golf at the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department S.T.A.R unit fund raising tournament. Held at the Hacienda Golf Course, we had a great dinner after the round, and I did a 15 mintute set for them, and conducted the live auction.
Busy this week, being fitted for soft contacts, wich I have to wear for a month or so, before I can have laser eye surgery. The laptop should be back from the doctor today. Yes !
Alright back to writing and rehearsing.
