  so close it's close

fish came to the big shoe today.

loved it. hung out and had a chat afterwards and are supposed to hang in a bit.

huge day yesterday.

'crats screening in the a.m. then off to do the show, then met up with
mistress of comic discipline and her writer, hugh, to go over the
questions for her big shoe. she is someone who enjoys stressing out
for her shows. not so great to be creative with, but it seems to work
for her at least.

back to the flat briefly to grab cameras to tape burnsy with.

met up with him and the crew at the pleasance dome and taped his first shoe.

provenz' and jen split to pick up food for me as i headed to the
pleasance beyond with burnsy, et.al for his 2nd shoe.

madhouse with all of them freaking out. indulgent. freaky. weird.

smaller house than they would've liked, but welcome to the club.

show went quite long as burnsy was entertaining himself quite a bit!
so i had to split early to do the comic discipline shoe.

setting up was weird and annoying as mistress o does not trust anyone.
as i began to tape my questions to the podium, she said, you have to
tape those down so they can't be seen and i yelled at her "i just put
the paper down on the podium and will be taping it down very, very
soon, but i just put it down. okay?!" it was tense and annoying.

sorta like doing the show. if you're going to have your guests pretty
much write the show, you should be nice and respectful to them. really
nice and really respectful.

remembered that glen wool was doing phat cave, so i got there just in
time for the end of his set. he's doing spank! (you love it!) tonight
so that will be good...

everyone wants provenza. everyone. people are coming out of the
woodwork to be his buddy. ahhhh yes.

met back up with everyone at some theater, but was so tired that i went home.

it was a much longer day that i've described. so long that i can't
describe it. especially as i'd spent the previous day at the airport
and then at other shows. nuts.

did edcom showcase again this morning with victor. went great. sean
collins was really funny as was carey marx and eddie naesans.

our shoe today was nearly full. finally. balcony was lined with peeps
and the floor area seemed completely packed.

burnsy and fish were there as was provenz. really, really, really cool
fo burnsy to finally come see the big shoe.

there was a minute where no one knew where danny james' camera (which
i borrowed last night) was. it's found now.

that is all. must go off into the big final saturday night of the
festival and get shitfaced on diet coke and laughter!!!
