I have 199 friends on MySpace.
I guess it's pretty pathetic that I am monitoring this, but I recently saw that I was at 198 and knew after two more adds I would be at 200. Today I added Mary (former bartender at the Baltimore Comedy Factory) and Mike and Rob (Mike, being 'Mike G' son of Howard G who has started a page for a room he has in Chicago). I go and look at my total and I am at 199.
Someone has decided they don't want to be my friend anymore.
This hurts. It hurts because I only add people that I have a relationship with on some level (i.e. other comics, people from MD, VA, DC who have heard me on the radio or seen me perform, clubs I've played, organizations I belong to, actual friends, etc.). I am not like Rob Maher where most of my friends are porn stars or celebrities I want to pretend I know (well, I have Louis CK, but that's my only one).
Now I understand that I am a notorious dick, but when I look to see who may have disassociated themselves with me, the people I am most evil to are still there (i.e. Tom Myers). So someone went in and purposely and maliciously ended our online friendship. If I find out who it is, they will not be forgiven...of course they won't care since they don't want to be my friend anyway. So much so that they actually took the time to go in and remove me.
I mentioned a couple of blogs ago that I won the Arlington Drafthouse competition. Among the prizes were ''hotel and transport to perform a guest spot in Atlantic City''. I have no idea where or when this is, but I was told by one of the organizers that 'transport' meant a bus, that I could fill with the people of my choosing and take to Atlantic City. I then asked another one of the organizers to confirm this and they told me the exact same thing.
I don't believe there is any way this is true, but I want it to be true more than anything I have ever wanted to be true in my entire life (wow, what a bad sentence).
I will continue to update you as this story unfolds. I have no idea if it is this bus:
Or this bus:
However, almost everyone is invited. By 'almost' I mean if you decided not to be my friend anymore, you can't come.
I have a bunch of cool shows coming up. I am most excited about the Comedy Factory Christmas Party: Dec 21st-23rd.
This is going to be a blast. Kind of a loosely structured comedy show/party. I am working on a sketch for this show that I'm pretty fired up about. I'm sure I'll put it off until about 3 days before the show and then scrap the entire idea, but for now I'm pretty excited.
What I am least excited about is tonight's judging of the 'Funniest Person in Baltimore' competition. Mostly because I know several people on the show and most likely I will leave there having maintained one friendship and gaining 11 new enemies. My plan is to take every comic off to the side and tell them that I voted them first. The blame will then fall squarely on Mike Stork and Rob Maher.
The City Paper interviewed me and it is on youtube. I refuse to post it as it is basically the exact same thing I said in my 11/13 blog. Literally word-for-word. All the way down to my rant on the gubernatorial race. I am embarrassed that I have that little to say. It's sad because I look incredible and I would really like my female fans to see it.
Last weekend I worked with Mickey Cucchiella, T-Rexx and Eric Myers at the Baltimore Comedy Factory. I can't describe what they did without looking like a bandwagoning, fawning, starfucking, douche. So I'll just say they're funny.
I will say that last week T-Rexx worked a Bennigan's 5 days prior to being on HBO. I don't think anyone else in the history of comedy can make that claim.
