Circle Gets the Square

Friday, April 25, 2003

Visits to the site are way up this week, including an all-time high of 24 hits yesterday (Thursday). In fact, you, the readers, have made the site so popular that it is now the number one result when you search for my name on Google! It's every blogger's dream come true. Thanks to everyone who's been checking out the site regularly, including former NBC page, ski bum, juvenile deliquent, biology major, and teenage metal geek Ben Aughenbaugh, and certified benefits specialist (and creator of www.mediationrevolution.com) Russell Weiss. For everyone else out there, make sure to tell me if you're enjoying the site. I cannot see the names of everyone who visits, but I can see the domain names, and there are a lot of unfamiliar ones. For instance, somebody checked out the site from a Navy computer...and I don't know anyone in the Navy. If this is you, or someone you know, let me know - I'm quite curious. Well, as you've probably heard, Senator Rick Santorum is in hot water for equating homosexuality with incest, adultery, and polygamy. It's moments like these that make me proud to be a Pennsylvanian. Although I don't think we should jump to conclusions that Santorum is homophobic. Maybe he's cool with homosexuality, and he just wants to be allowed to cheat on his wife with his sister. Zing! As I mentioned a few days ago, lots of great shows coming up. Tomorrow night I'll be performing in a great show called Portable Comedy at the Gershwin Hotel. Here's the deets: Friday, April 25 10pm Portable Comedy at the Gershwin Hotel 7 E27th St (b/t 5th and Madison) 10pm, $5 Hosted by: Christian Finnegan (check out the link to his blog to the left) Featuring: Leo Allen (writer for Saturday Night Live), Dan Cronin, Liam McEneaney, Amanda Melson, Matt Goldich (creator of http://goldich.blogspot.com), Brad Aldous, and Matt Diffee. Then, on Monday the 28th, I'm auditioning at the Comic Strip - here's the info on that, for those of you who missed it the first time: Next Monday (4/28) I am performing at the Comic Strip Live (2nd Ave between 81st and 82nd) at 8:30 pm. This show is an audition to be a regular at the club, so I need the support of as many people as possible! If you plan on coming you should call the club at (212) 861-9386 to make a reservation. I have a limited number of passes which can get you and a guest in without paying the cover (there's still a 2-drink minimum) so e-mail me if you plan on coming and I'll figure out a way to get you a pass. Finally, here's some info on yet another show you can see me in next Tuesday: THE LAST JERKOFF EXTRAVAGANZA ! ! ! ! ! !
