  make a note:
before the show, look at the fucking curtain to see if the projector
is actually projecting...

learned a nice lesson today.

first big technical fuck up today. about midway through my intro, i
realized that my powerpoint slides weren't being projected.

i fumbled a bit, which sucks because i have finally! committed the
intro to memory and was really excited about it today, and then calmly
aksed becky, our producer to get a tech guy in to fix the projector...

we continued on without slides for a bit. a couple minutes in, two
tech guys came in and we stopped the show. i stepped out front and
told a stupid joke:

guy walked up and said "hey, can i have some money for a cup of coffee?"

i said, "sure, how much"

he said "1000 pounds"

i said "1000 pounds, why so much"

he said "cause i wanna drink it in New york!"

thank you... i'll be here all month...

then i talked about how this was all actually part of the show and it
was very dada...

then they couldn't get it fixed, so i turned the computer around and
told the audience they'd just have to look at the stuff on the
screen... it would be like they were in my living room.

they seemed to go along with it... it's the fringe fest, right?

so, we sort of had to do some work to get 'em back after that, but the
show went quite well.

the big news is that it's the most beautiful sunny day outside now.
not a cloud in the sky. and it's not too hot. so. i'm going to go
outside.

no one is flyering for our show. i'm the only one out there with
flyers and it sucks. there are no posters and no flyers and it bums me
out.

we're getting good crowds, but i think we could do better if there
were people handing out fucking fliers. fuckers...

that is all.

no, i am having a blast. this is great.

i'm going to go sit in the park now.

the pc cowboys got 3 stars in the scotsman.

still waiting for our reviews.
