DVD

Finally the DVD is done, of the Jan 24 show.  Brian Sheil did an awesome job editing this shoot. He made over 600 edits on this three camera shoot.  I have the master, not off for duplication, so we can get this thing out.  Everybody who was at the show should get a DVD of the show, Brian lit the audience beautifully.  Excellent job !.  Writing new material for the September shows in New York, will have a couple of preview shows this summer to see what to keep and what to trash.  The DVD should be ready for sale on the site in about a week. 

March 19 at the Ice House in Pasadena

Believe it or not, for years I always wanted to play the main room at the Ice House in Pasadeana. When Mike Marino asked me to open for him, it was a dream come true. With wife, and friends in the audience, it was a great night !. I had one of the best sets, it was a great time. I have a few private shows coming up where I will be fitting in some new material. I have to start now, in getting ready for the homecoming show in Caledonia NY, and the Rochester Show at Carey Lake which will benefit the Damascus Shriners of Webster.

Las Vegas

In Las Vegas, went to the George Wallace Show last night at the Flamingo Hilton, he puts on a great show !  Almost two hours, and really works the audience well.  I am gearing up for the show at the Ice House in Pasadena,  lucky enough to be opening up for Mike Marino again.  After that I will be concentrating on the New York Shows.  I am really looking forward to my first show in my hometown of Caledonia NY.  It is going to be at the Caledonia Country Club, where I actually performed during a band break when I was a senior in high school.  

Marriott Show a Smashing Success

The show at the Marriott downtown Los Angeles turned out to be an overwhelming success ! We actually had to upgrade to a bigger ballroom, we packed in 300 plus. Mike Marino brought in a surprise host, Frazer Smith, and he was awesome. I had my hands full, coordinating the room rental, arranging for the film crew, and the company that brought in the back drop curtain, and also the sound people. Brian Sheil, brought in an outstanding crew for the 3 camera shoot, he lit the audience and stage beautifully. He said the taping turned out great, and now he is starting the editing process. Hopefully the DVD will be available in a few weeks. Ofcourse Mike Marino, headlined and just killed for over an hour !. I can't thank Mike enough for making this show a winner, as he always does.

One Week From Today

Well everything is in place for the big show next Saturday night.  We had some last minute challenges with the space at the Marriott, but everything is working out.  The film crew that is shooting the DVD is ready to go.  We have another company bringing in the curtain for the backdrop.  Ticket sales are great, we are limited to 200 seats, 30 more to go in the next few days, and we will be sold out.  I will be rehearsing my set intensely until the day before the show.  Mike Marino is ready to blow the room apart as usual, I could not have a better headliner.  Back to rehearsing.    

Trip to New York

Just returned home from New York City trip.  The wife and I, and another couple had a great time.  We saw Jeffrey Ross at Carolines on Broadway , he did an hour as the headliner, and he was fantastic.  We saw Phantom of the Opera at the Majestic Theatre, awesome.  Now back to work  at the cop job, and full time writing for the January 24th show.  I want to have my routine done completely by January 10.  That will give me 2 weeks for rehearsal.  Back to writing.
