Joke Joke Jooooooooooke

The title is... two short jokes and one long joke.

Get it?  You know you are laughing.

Well anywho so I've decided that I'm going to try something new.  I mean, stepping out of ones element and trying something new sometimes makes things in life interesting right?!?  So what I've decided I'm going to do is a comedy act.  Why?  Well, I've played a fair amount of shows, and usually I'm able to say lots of funny things in-between doing songs.  Generally people laugh.  Usually I'm pretty good at being the one who makes everyone laugh in the group.  Soooooo I've decided that I'm going to try doing a comedy act and see how it goes.

If it bombs then it bombs... I mean I can always just go back to playing songs again.  I think it could be fun to stand up there with the mic and try to be a funny story teller dude and try to get everyone really into it and going.

The other thing is nearly all open mics are people playing guitar and singing which is what I do!  So I figured this will be different and at least a change of pace.

ok but... there's one problem.

Here's the problem...

The open mic is streamed on their website live!  Actually last week my dad even tuned in and watched me perform... that was pretty fun.  He called me the next day and was like that was sooooo awesome.  But you know parents always think everything their kids do is awesome.

That just makes me extra nervous though!  I should probably start out at maybe a different open mic or maybe try doing the act in front of friends... but I figure it's just good fun... it's something I do in my free time for a good clean fun evening... so I'll just  think of it that way.

Also, I'll think of everyone in their underwear or something.

I'll post a blog the night after I go on... I'll let everyone know the deal.  I might bring along a little video camera and try to video it and post up the video.  Oh gosh, I'm nervous just typing it now!  But at the same time... I'm kind of excited for it too!  We'll seeeeeeeeeee.
