Happy Labor Day. Hope you had a really fantastic Labor Day and that you did all the incredibly cool things you said you were going to do with just one extra day in your weekend.
This weekend I played a couple improv sets, one good, one bad… Really bad, actually. But that happens sometimes. Well, ones this bad don’t happen too often, but they happen. Anyway, it wasn’t the best (it was really bad), but the audience was great and still laughed quite a bit—for some reason. It’s weird to be doing something on stage, get laughs, and then be thinking to yourself, “If I wasn’t me, and I was watching me right now, I would definitely not be laughing.”
On another note, after a lot of thought and agonizing, I decided a week or so ago that I’ll be moving from Chicago to Toronto. My time in Chicago has been great. It’ll be really hard to leave this city and many people in it. But, as a Canadian in the States, at least at this point, visa-related issues have become increasingly difficult to deal with in a variety of ways. And, going back to the homeland, at least for now, I should be better able to pursue my career. Additionally, Toronto has a great comedy scene and I’m excited to get started up there. Anyway, it’s a big move and I thought I’d just write briefly about that. It feels kind of weird to broadcast that kind of information, but I guess when you’re blogging you’re supposed to blog about blig things like that that are happening blin your blife. So, there’s that…
So, as I’m wrapping things up in Chicago I’ll have some cool stuff to share with you. This weekend I had a meeting about developing videos for the Annoyance Theatre, so I think some good material is going to come out of that. I’ll also be working with a few other folks to develop some videos… Anyway, it should be a busy couple months, wrappin’ up, packin’ up, and I’ll post good stuff. I will also post stupid shit I find online.
