New Gigs and Digs

Adelaide, South Australia

Thursday March 3^rd 2011

My review finally came out in ‘The Advertiser’, which is the bigger paper in Adelaide. It was three and a half stars, which is not bad, but annoyingly close to 4 stars, which you use to help sell your show. The review itself isn’t a bad review, but it is a bad review, meaning that it is poorly written. Even a bad review will sometimes have quotes you can pull such as “engaging”, “hilarious”, or “I laughed so hard, I shit my pants.” But I challenge anyone who looks at the link to pull a quote from this convoluted and confusing mess. That is supposed to be from a professional journalist. Luckily some other reviews have come in like this one, which make sense and I can use. They at the very least give you an idea of what the show is going to be like.

Swung by the Adelaide Casino yesterday. Found out the Poker tables are only open at night, so I avoided flipping a coin with any of the crazy table games. I learned my lesson last time at a Casino trip while doing a Yuk Yuk’s weekend with Peter Anthony in Niagara Falls. Let’s just say that alcohol and black jack don’t mix. I definitely will be sitting down at the $1-$2 Hold ‘Em table before I leave Adelaide, and will report on the outcome.

Just got a text while writing this. I’ve been confirmed for the Town Hall Galas both this Friday and Saturday night. It’s a 900 seater, so I’m excited, and nervous. I’ll get some footage of it and post it next week no matter how it goes.

I’ve got to head out of where I’m staying now, and move into the Tuxedo Cat venue itself. There’s no plumbing, but there’s a nook way up at the top where I can crash. Definitely living the artist lifestyle. This will give me a good chance to really cover the Tuxedo Cat as a venue so you can get an idea of what it’s like. Expect a full report on the venue with photos soon.

Well I should be into town. I’ve been sitting in front of the TV watching old American shows like ‘Get Smart’, ‘Here’s Lucy’, and now it’s ‘Green Acres’. I’m out.
