Sat Sep 2 - Mock Cafe

Drank too much. Had a lousy set.
 

Sat Sep 9 - Mock Cafe

I had a pretty good set. I had this feeling all day that tonight was going to be a really big night, but it was nothing special. I had a nice talk with another comedian about the attraction of going out on the road. It's talks like this that make me question some of the decisions I've made about my career. I'm not in a position to commit to a career in comedy. Mostly I'm happy with where I am, but I'll always wonder what might have been.
 

Sat Sep 16 - Mock Cafe

Once again I had too much to drink before the show. Got some good laughs, but my timing was shot.
 

Sat Sep 16 - Java Source

The host called me up to the stage as I walked in the room. Did a pretty good set considering I had no preparation.
 
The doubts are back. The lust for the stage is getting stronger. Doing two sets in one night got my blood boiling. External forces tugging at my self-imposed career exile. But are the sacrifices worth it? Is the hope for a career worth giving up the security of a comfortable life. I'm nearly 40 years old. Is that too old to drop everything? I'm not sure.
