  not so good - dean

wow. wow. wow.

today's show sucked ass in the bad way.

well, actually, the show was fine. the audience seemed sort of, well, deaf
and blind. or not. maybe the show did suck today.

i always hate it when performers blame the audience for their rotten shows.
it's like someone who fucks people over but says that everyone else is
fucking them over. but, man, i don't know what we did differently from
yesterday. hmmm...

it seems that sometimes the audience doesn't like me. as if they're rolling
their eyes when I speak.

we've had shows like this before and I just try to talk as fast as I can so
we can all move on with our lives.

some people walked out, but it may have been they just had somewhere to be.
or they couldn't stand being in the room with the nigerian spam scam scam.
either way, it's weird watching people leave.

torture builds character. what doesn't kill me makes me sleep 'till three
the next day.

I woke up at 7:15 am today. Stood up and thought "no fucking way am I
getting up now" and then forced myself to get back to bed. slept until 11.
finally got out of the flat by noon. after beanscening for an hour, i walked
around with my ubiquitous iPod a bit. sat in the courtyard outside of the
gilded balloon, listened to music and watched the boys skateboarding;
feeling like the main character in death in venice. there was a hippie
copule sitting next to me smoking a joint and farting.

pleasant.

georgia from edcom5 and katie from burningissues, david burns' pr company
saw today's "show". i think they understood that we were pulling teeth,
but...

irregardless, victor and i went to negociants, had some chicken nachos and
let the show fade away. then i went and tried to steal wireless access from
the pleasance performer's lounge. failed. so did dara obrian. obrain. he
spells his name weird.

oh this is funny: spamscam.com is on our posters and fliers. i have nothing
to do with spamscam.com. so, i just wrote to the owner. i wonder how much
he'll fuck me over for the money.

went to "the shambles", the place we stayed last year. saw claire and the
gang. very nice.

now i'm going to the flat. i feel sleepy.

weird!

jessie arrives soon. yippeee!!!!

If I knew why the formatting was off on this, i'd fucking fix it.

that is all.

Yeah, definitely sleepy.

Beautiful day today. Except for a bit where it was raining and cold. If it
stays like this (HAHAHAHAHOOOOOo) then this will be really great. If my wife
meets some strippers who want to stay with us during her stay here, that
will be great, too. Same chance.

Rock on.
