Serendipitous Saturday

Overnight in NY- my last one for a while.

So first, I get off the ship, go to my friend Michelle's apartment in NYC (HOT DOORMAN- SCORE) and spend a few blissful solitary hours in a well-lit, good feng-shui place talking on the phone and catching up on email (free wireless signal- SCORE).

I walk to Best Buy and buy the biggest laptop backpack available (pricy, but it will make traveling a WHOLE lot more fun).

I cannot hail a cab to save my life (dinner time, showtime-they were all full), but then I end up walking the entire way to the club to do stand-up. Before I know it I have walked FORTY-SIX blocks and up and down about 7 avenues. It took me an hour and a half- so that's about 3.5 miles. (exercise for the day- SCORE).

I met some great people, very nice comics and bookers and a lot of my friends came to see the first show. And I got a tape immediately. (footage of me performing in NY-SCORE).

THEN I went to the next show- and two of my friends decided to go with me...where there were three more friends waiting, including a guy from high school that I haven't seen in about 8 years. It was awesome. (Old friends who warm my heart-SCORE).

And the SHOW.....it was so much fun. I'm pretty lucky. I was part of the last Shark show at Mo Pitkin's. The hosts were awesome. And get this- there were only three comics performing and one of them is ALSO STAYING at my friend Michelle's apartment! We didn't know we were both doing the same show. And she lives in ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Boston, where I'm going this week. WIERD SERENDIPITY.

I went to a third show....just in time to catch my friend Marco Timpano ripping the shit out of THREE BLIND HECKLERS in the front row. A group of hecklers, and they are all blind?....(Comedy Gold Mine- CHECK)

After hanging out with some of those comics after the show, I walked to UCB to see a show at midnight. I got lost, but then got found. It was a sketch show with two hip-hop guys, and they had some special guests (Horatio Sans playing a racist, republican Jim Morrison? Yes. It happened, and it was effing funny).

My last Saturday in New York, also one of the best.

New York Comedy is my new boyfriend.
