Loyal readers will know that the 2nd of our 4 show run was last night. For new readers, and aren't there thousands a day?, I'm talking about the sketch comedy group that I write and perform with known as HomeGroan Sketch Comedy. Our current show is HomeGroan and the Goblet of Fire. After the first show stumbles, we had a couple of rehearsals and got our stuff together. There were still a few glitches here and there, but we freakin' rocked the house last night! Another small house of about 30 people, but they were very responsive and really into it. The theater holds 99 people, so not a bad size. At least that's what I tell my dates. Oh wait, we were talking about the theater. Right. Hey, we performed at the famous Caroline's on Broadway back in May to a packed house of about 200! So there! Back to the show. Yep. We kicked ass. Had a nice flow going and the laughs abounded! Next week will be genius and I'm sure the final show will be perfect. Just like me. Like you didn't see that one coming.
Got home after hanging with my sis and friends for a quick beer or 3. I recorded The American Music Awards that had aired earlier.
Mariah opened the show with a barely there dress and lungs forever. Her voice wasn't bad either. No, that wasn't the dress, but you get the idea. Bless her for loving to show off her stuff. And please stop thanking your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Buddha, God, or whatever higher deity you believe in! The only ones that it made sense for were the ones in the Gospel category. Mariah, I love your boobs, uh voice, but to thank God for your award? Come on. "If you pray hard enough and truly believe, God will give you everything." Oh really? Tell that to the victims of the hurricane and earthquake. I bet their praying for food and water and money and a house, etc. Maybe if they prayed for an American Music Award, they'd get one! Hey, poor people and victims world-wide! Start praying for awards and you'll get them! You just have to believe. Ask Mariah! She knows best. Anyway, a lot of performers, but some high and low-lights. Lindsay Lohan sang her new "hit" bitching about her delinquent father and then went into a rendition of Stevie Nicks "Edge of Seventeen." I swear I saw them cut to Stevie in the audience being held down by security as she pulled a gun out. I wasn't sure if she was going to shoot Lindsay or herself over the atrocious raping her song received. And to continue rivalry rumors, Hillary Duff performed shortly after. I fast forwarded. There was a cool duet with Cyndi Lauper and Sarah McLaughlin doing Cyndi's "Time After Time". For some reason, they showed it in black and white. Ooohhh....all art house-y. Santana needs to stop playing. He's only popular because he gets even more popular people to perform with him and write the hits. Eurythmics got up and did a couple of old hits. They still got it and we still don't know if Annie Lennox likes the peaNUT butter or the jelly. R. Kelly won some award, but was a no show. Probably at a Girl Scouts meeting or was going to the bathroom. Or both. I can't believe people still like this guy. His latest hit, the Million part epic "Trapped in the Closet". Puh leaze. Crap. Crap. Crap. The show ended with a live performance from The Rolling Stones. Guys. Seriously. Retire. You're 80. It's great that you're still rockin', but let it go. Overall, another lame awards show.
Finally, I am heading to Seattle for about 5 days with my friend, Christina. I have never been and can not wait. My flight is in 3 hours so I have to get out of the door pretty soon. And, no I haven't gone to bed yet. I am sure I will have some limited computer access, but probably not a lot. So, wont be able to post every day. Calm down. Just read some of the old ones. Laugh at the good old days! However, I might be able to post, so keep checking in! You may get lucky and read about my adventures as they happen. Oh to be so lucky. Cross your fingers. It could happen.
