Tardy and Hirsute

Okay.


It's been nigh-six months. Where have I been? Uninterested-In-Blog-Town, that's where. My energies and lack thereof have been elsewhere. I didn't do any Oscar shit like I was going to, or list my favorite movies of the year. But I did beat Kelly in our Oscar pool, so that's something. (My favorite movie last year was True Grit.)


I love Chicago. It's finally summer here, and we earn it every year. Sitting in a garden I didn't help bring to fruition, reading in the sun, listening to my tiny ipod. Going for a walk, or a pointless ride on the el for the a/c. Outdoor markets abound. Pride days. Parades. Pretty girls with faraway eyes and ridiculous hemlines. Hoo boy. Simple stuff. I love it.


I'm determined to keep doing stand-up, more and more of it. I think I've finally figured out a decent point of view, and a way to write in that vein consistently. We'll see as I keep testing the waters.


I've also been spending my time tricking over a hundred people into thinking that I'm Kris Kross, the erstwhile hippity-hop group from 1992. Yes, that I am both of them. That new tour is just around the corner.


Recently I started a podcast which you can find at http://jaybeeanddan.libsyn.com or search "Jay Bee" in iTunes. I also have co-written and am prepping a new sketch show for September. Why not "Like" my sketch group on Facebook? It's one click, come on. Maybe two clicks. Either way, I'm not asking you to help me move or anything. Just do it. It feels good. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Xanadudes/175129822542126   SUPPORT ME.
