I am performing stand-up tonight as part of this showcase. Maybe you could like come out and watch? The show is called “Low Profile” hosted by a bunch of silly people I am friends with. Details, arbitrarily boldfaced:

Low Profile (show), at Fat Baby (bar)
112 Rivington St near the corner of Essex
Time: 8PM, cost: 5 bucks

And a round-up of things:

• I drink coffee mostly for the chance to run out and buy it, which is to say: for the breaks. It’s like a smoke break for non-smokers. I also believe that if I had ever smoked a cigarette even once I would be the most hard-core chain smoker you knew. It’s life-changing observations like this that you will be able to absorb from my set tonight, folks.
• Reading PKD’s Martian Time-Slip — this is book number 11. Reading these books are really just about bumping up the totals, now. What should YOU read, if you want to sample PKD? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is probably his best overall. Now Wait For Last Year is one of his best of the “so trippy it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on” variety and Ubik is good for the “cool idea taken to the millionth degree” book.
• I am Freedying on the song “Be My Baby” by the Ronnettes. I want Eliza to teach me the drum part, which she says is easy. I also need drums.
• Kevin and I played ping-pong Friday night. We are… ungood.
• “do” is such a weird verb to apply to stand-up. I am “doing” stand-up. It’s like the English language doesn’t know what to do with the practice of performing stand-up comedy and can’t come up with a better verb. More stuff like this tonight, guys!
