The Aftermath...

So yet again it has been ages since I wrote anything here. Sorry, should any of you care...
So, the show was last night, and it went really well! Got a decent crowd, and they laughed at everything, so that is always good! Some last minute additions to the sketches (me and Caroline) didn't slow it down, people laughed, everyone's stand up seemed to go down well. Thinking we can maybe make this a regular thing. Howard wants to make it a showcase for new comedy, headlined by our brand. I'm okay with that...world domination here we come. I realise none of the relevant people are going to read this but I'd like to express my thanks to everyone involved, as well as everyone who came down.
In other news...well, I'm getting itchy feet. Thinking I need me an investor for my T-shirt business. If anyone has £10k lying around and wants to invest it in a solid business then let me know!

A few random thoughts...

Seems like ages since I last wrote anything on this blog.  Sorry!

It’s been an interesting week, for me at least.  Had a strange odd day off situation but I’m over it, although I was gutted on Monday when I came home to find Wrestlemania had not finished downloading, and after I bought supplies and everything.  I don’t want this to be another wrestling filled blog but I can’t let it go by without comment.  I won’t go match by match but there some odd decisions made, Swagger is a very odd choice for me.  He is nowhere near ready to be main event but 95% of the time Vince calls it right, so we will see.  I thought the Bret-Vince match was dull beyond belief, and you don’t know how much it hurts to say that.  The only plus point was seeing the Hart Dynasty get involved for the first time.

Jericho-Edge was always going to be the best match on the show for me, and it was.  I have to reserve a special mention for the ‘Taker-Michaels match.  I’m not particularly a fan of either man but I thought it was a very well told story, with a genuinely emotional ending.

In all it was a very average show enlightened by odd moments of greatness.

In other news, we are closing in on a sponsor for the podcast, hopefully I won’t have to shell out on a Mac of my own.  We recorded our longest show ever this week, 1 hour and 4 seconds.  I also think it is our best show yet, felt really natural and had a lot of energy.  We seem to be finding our groove, I know I feel more comfortable recording.  We confirmed a friend of Howards to play the live show, Rich Massara.  Seems we have a line up! Sold a few tickets this week so that is always nice, looking like we might have a nice crowd.

I’m rapidly losing TV shows too.  Many of the American shows I watch have finished their seasons and some of the others are taking extended Easter breaks, sucks for me.  I do have a new favourite though, Justified, which is based on an Elmore Leonard short story (always a good start!).  Timothy Olyphant plays a Deputy Marshall sent back to his backwater home in small town Kentucky after shooting 1 too many people.  I really dig the slow paced, deep storytelling, I only hope America agrees.  It did stellar ratings for its first 2 episodes so it looks good so far, highly recommended!
