Things that still need to be done in my new apartment.

The kichen cabinets need doors. 

The railings for the steps and the stairs have to be finished.

The molding on the south wall has to be finished.

The upstairs bathroom has to be finished.

The Ethernet wiring has to be finished.

The Cable wiring has to be finished.

The living room closet doors need to be finished.

 

This all has to be done before my birthday party on the 12th.

 

Lordy lordy lordy!

Moving day

I am moving into my new apartment today and unfortunately I waited until the last minute to do most of my packing. I don't have that many things but I will be finishing my packing all on my lonesome. That's just how we do it in the hood.

I don't live in the hood.

Too much booty

The clothing stores in my neighborhood have mannequins whose butts are a little out of control.

I really like out of control.

Tonight, April 29

The Kevin Murphy show at 7;00. - Mo Pitkins... I think I do comedy and an interview.

Word.

Cool ass jerk move No. 1

Whenever I am at a drugstore and there is a god awful line at the check out counter, I walk back to the photo developing counter and ask them to ring me up for my candybar or whatever.  there's never anybody waiting at that line and the clerk is always doing nothing.

 

In and out quick baby.

Level 2

Saw this band at the sidewalk cafe... I was not disappointed

Final Callback

Tonight is my final callback for the Montreal Comedy festival.  I really want to go , but there is not telling what they want...  Well of course they want funny, but there are quite a few factors that go into their final choice besides that.

 

Ugh... you are just not getting it are you... I'll talk to you later.

 

I love Peppercinis

So , when I was in Pittsburgh, my friend Gab made sure there were Peppercinis in the fridge for me.  This is a video that tells about the discovery.

 

 

 

Tonight I will...

Be at GRANDMAS CANDY BOX at bar none in manhattan.

I am hosting a show with some funny comics in front of a raucus and sometimes drunk crowd.

Right now, I'm drinking coffee.

Soho House

This place is so much fun!

 

I wish it weren't elitest.

My contemporaries

People seem to greet me in several ways based on my appearance on the cover of the Village Voice.

 

FRIENDS

 

 "Hey naked."

 

"Congratulations on the cover!"

 

"Wow... you're pretty naked."

 

"Where's your penis?  Did they airbrush it out?"

 

DOUCHES

 

"Hey village voice."

Robocop?

I hope this car is just the beginning of a technological advance in law enforcement that I can only guess at.

Tonight I will be

raising a glass a SoHo House and some other place before that.

The Village Voice article

My reaction to the Village Voice article is just about entirely positive.  If you haven't checked it out already then you could easily remedy that by going to:

 

http://www.villagevoice.com/nyclife/0717,westhoff,76434,15.html/full

 

I could go on about all the things that I am happy about.  My experience with the writer, the photographer, the editor, and the art director were all great.  They made me look and sound wonderful and all of them are invited to my birthday party.

 

The only problem I really have is that I HATE to have my standup material written out.  You really cant enjoy a song by just reading the lyrics, so how can you expect to get the complete experience from the printed word when something is usually performed?  Others have told me that it comes off nicely, but I stand by the idea that performance is the best way to see those pieces.

Today's The Day

The Village Voice cover with me on the front comes out today.  I have never been on the cover of any major paper or magazine.  One of the editors telle me that the Village Voice is somewhere in between.

 

The writer told me that the editor made some changes with the article that he thought were cool, but maybe not 100% what he would have done.

 

I think to myself, would I change the wording of a few things in exchange for the chance to be on the cover?  Probably not.

 

I myself have nor read the article yet.  I did hear that the use os some adjectives may not be to my liking.  They may want to be alittle more sensational than necessary in spots, but I guess I'll find out soon.

 

I'll write my reactions to is after I read.  The paper is slated to come out tomorrow, but it will be available online later today and one the street by this evening.
