  weary
two weeks seems like a million years.

i've found a coffee shop with wifi for a reasonable price so i can sit
and be "alone" and write and get my email.

great audience yesterday. about 30-35 peeps. really great audience.
there are two types of audiences. the ones that laugh at the funny
names and the audience who laugh at the more subtle stuff.

i guess there's something for everyone.

oh my.

last night after the pc cowboys, i went to one of the comedy shows
here. it's called the free beer show because they give out free beer.

it was horrible. really a shitty line up of comics. but provenz was
performing and i always like seeing him. i was going to leave but i
thought i'd tough it out.

there was some group of drunken shitheads generally making a
disturbance. the comics were able to glean that they were all in some
play or something.

so they basically ruined an already shitty night.

then, provenz' got up on stage.

there was a guy in the audience who had been dubbed "j-19". as soon as
provenz' got up, the guy started yelling his drunken spew. provenz'
got him up on stage.

in less than a minute, j-19 had ALL of his clothes off.

then provenz' got the annoying woman up on stage. got her top off,
though she wouldn't show anything.

provenz' said, "if you don't get naked we are coming to your show
tomorrow and ruining it the way you ruined this show"

she didn't get naked.

today at 6pm, we are going to their show. a whole group of us. at leat
10 people. we shall ruin their fucking shithole show. motherfuckers.

previous to this, i saw reginald d. hunter's show.

man. holy fuck. such a refreshing change from all of the stand-ups who
talk about petty shit. and he put a voice to this feeling i've had for
so long about groups; asking why we separate ourselves in to groups.
sports in particular and then branching out from that to countries. he
went on a wonderful jag about love and sex.

he's a black american who has been living in the uk for several years.
if he comes back to the states he will take over the world. the guy is
a phenomenon.

he's an artist who makes the art look easy. just get up there and talk. yeah.

amazing.

fucker.

i'll be home in two weeks.i believe i will sleep forever.

i am going to go to burke-williams and stand underneath one of their
showers that blasts hot water. i shall stand underneath it for seven
or eight hours, i think.

then, i will go have a cup of coffee wth whatever change i have left
over from this trip.

rock on. fuckers.
