  wow
.
gee, it's raining again.

go figure.

interesting show today. after nailing the intro, i moved to my
computer to discover that it was off.

the computer was off... no script. i tried to turn it on. nothing.

the power strips here have individual on/off switches and the crew has
made a habit of switchign them off. who knows why?

so, i figured that they had switched the power off for that pc. i
began trying to fix whatever the fuck was wrong as victor read his
first letter. not enough time.

i moved to victor's pc to read my first letter...

this went on for a few letters. each of us scrambling to get the
fucking pc on and then reading a letter. victor finally discovered
that my pc had been unplugged a tiny bit. he plugged it in and turned
the machine on. i heard the familiar "bling" of the machine powering
up.

now all i had to do was wade through the ten error messages during
bootup. some aol thing... dunno...

we were about 5 minutes in before it began running normally.

it was fine. didn't lose the audience at all. i think it may have
helped us a bit, even.

victor has hit a stride and i believe i have, as well. it will be odd
only doing the show two nights a week when we get back. hmmm....

it was a nice show. not a huge house, but respectable. i would really
like to sell out a few more times. that is a great feeling. seeing
that board announcing that we're sellouts. hmmm...

only ten more days of the festival. i'm finished already. i'm ready to
move on. remind me next year to make sure that i get a per diem and a
place to stay with fewer than six hundred roommates. also. remind me
to not come. thank you.

ten more shows.

the pc cowboys are having a difficult time. low morale it seems.
better them than me, i guess... it's a shame. it's a fun show. they
should have a huge crowd.

bastards.

my knees hurt. becky, the person from edcom4 in charge of my show,
gave me some sort of pain killer with coedine coDean. it helps some. i
need a knee transplant maybe. fuckers.

i do enjoy beanscene coffee shop. they showed crouching tiger hidden
wire today on the tv. that was cool. what a freaky ass movie.

not as freaky as deciding to go to scotland for a fucking month.
