Fortunate Son.

Ever crash and burn? Me neither. But I did do a crazy dismal show yesterday at Comedy Village. Tumbleweeds. Crowd of 5 bitter weirdos. I tore it right up, as usual, but are you serious people? That is not living.

There's a bit of sadness radiating from your eyes - i'm assuming it's a self-portrait. But if you look deeper, it becomes more of a 'deer in the headlights' look, which often occurs when you attempt the 'extended-arm self-shot.' But in your industry of comedy, isn't that a common occurrence? The fear of failure on stage. Choking. Crashing and burning. Either way, it's a great capture.

Matt,this is the 6 week period you need to take a lot of calculated chances....Just get everything out there all the time. And wear sensible shoes (this is accident-prone period also).
Chuck just made Romayne a cookie cutter shaped like a handgun for the shortbread marathons....It's amazingly realistic....
