• HEY @KeithAlberstadt I’m watching Florida play football.. turns out Vanderbilt has sports teams?! Thought you’d like to know. #
  • Back in Atlanta. What’s fun to do at 2am here? Hook it up somebody. #
  • so far I’m hearing ‘hookers’ and ‘blow’ both of which requires money in amounts that I do not have, but are otherwise fine suggestions. #
  • @ChadRiden no money if you do it right. (via @JaneHaze) #
  • @JaneHaze I’ve read all the Iceberg Slim books, but my pimp game is terribly insufficient for such an endeavor. in reply to JaneHaze #
  • Dragged to super douche nightclub.. It smells like Red Bull and sweat. Also many girls with great personalities! Ugh. (via @azizansari) #

  • Make a marketing post; it trips some keyword auto-follow thing the marketers use. Try it—don’t follow back! (via @veinarmor) #
  • Tonight’s my last night in Atlanta for a while: 8pm @ the Punchline w/ Larry Miller & Patti Vasquez http://tinyurl.com/yetmoce #
  • Listening to Marc Maron rant about his “validate me!” ‘status updates’ on WTF ep.3 #
  • …and relating completely. Listen to his podcast, it’s fantastic. #
  • Mississippi has declared a State of Emergency. It’s not the tropical storm coming.. they just realized that they live in Mississippi. #
  • I’m at Zanies in Chicago tonight. I lived in DuPage county as a kid.. It feels like going back to a home i’ve never been to. #
  • I had fun in Atlanta this weekend, but not the “bust in your house with Katt Williams and rob you” kinda fun: http://tinyurl.com/y8a8tbh #
  • crashed at the Chicago NashvilleStandUp.com Outpost near Wrigley Field w/ Damian Anaya, @AlexKendig & @BenBergman. On to Wausau, WI tonight. #
  • I don’t want to jinx it, but so far all signs point to this being a horrific disaster of a night. I smell “nightmare one nighter.” #
  • Warning sign #1: instead of hotel info, bookers instructions say to call the club mgr’s cell when i get close. #
  • Bad sign #2: managers phone rings and rings and goes to voicemail. #
  • Oh shit #3: at the venue, nobody to be found, but chippendales promo posters outnumber comedy night stuff 30:1 #
  • #4: bartender says, “oh there probably won’t be anyone here tonight. we just changed the night we do comedy. Last week we had seven people.” #
  • #5: 20 minutes pass.. manager does not call back. bartender calls him, he picks right up. He’ll be there in 10 min. #
  • #6: the key to the hotel room is an actual key. Make that motel.. And not a nice one. #
  • #7: I didn’t even need the key. My motel room door is slightly ajar and extremely murdery! Room is gross, old, dirty, and smelly. #
  • #8 the mattresses are covered in plastic. They are the ONLY things in the room that are not filthy. #
  • BTW, while I appreciate everyones comments and whatnot, I (for one) do NOT “like” my status. It is unfavorable. #
  • #9: comics pay full price for drinks #
  • #10: showtime was 10 minutes ago, the mic isn’t even set up yet. #
  • #11: no mic stand! no stool. #
  • #12: “club” lighting – purple gels on spotlights, spinny Saturday night fever lights #
  • 13: 7 people in the crowd. I ask, “how did you promote the show?” and the staff looked confused at the question. #
  • Comics Should ALWAYS Eat And Drink For Free Update: comics drink for free only while on stage here? I need a funnel. #
  • #14: one of the bartenders was in the back of the room talking LOUDLY to two dudes she is involved with and got thrown out. #
  • #15: bartender chick is back. Minus one dude, plus crying and attitude. #
  • #16: here’s what I was waiting for: manager says I don’t get paid here, the booker will mail a check. Perfect. #
  • It was nothing short of magic. // RT @Anundson: @ChadRiden sounds like a great night #
  • A couple that runs the motel were at the show: “anything we can get you?” me:”2 hookers and a case of champagne.” “we can’t do that, but..” #
  • Completely undeterred, tonight I’ll be dropping in for a quick set at the Comedy Club on State Street in Madison,WI 53703 @ 8:30 #
  • @ a coffee place in Madison, WI called “In The Company Of Thieves” – I knew I’d like this place just from the name. I feel right at home. #

  • “the comedy club on state st.” in Madison isn’t the most creative name for a comedy club, but it’s a nice joint full of funny local comics. #
  • No! Do it!//RT @DrFunkhole: had been toying with the idea of trying my hand at stand up. EVIL SPIRITS COME OUT! Hallelujah! You’ve cured me. #
  • I’m gonna be extra funny and stuff tonight thru Saturday at Jokerz in Milwaukee, WI. Come laugh at my gut! #
