Brian

I have my latest straight guy man crush. Brian. He's got muscles, a crew cut, and tattoos. He drinks more energy drinks than the can of energy tells you you should. He only uses his car as extra weight when he jogs. He out Chuck Norrises Chuck Norris. And he strongly, and earnestly suggested that I would feel a lot better if I excercised. Something about him makes me think, "That guy is right." Sure, psychiatrists, friends, family and spouse have said the same thing but the guy that works security at The Logan Square Auditorian AND drives a double decker bus was just manly enough to sway me. Normally, I don't take advice from anyone with a south side of Chicago accent but in this case I'll make an exception. The reason for the exception? He knows all the same stuff I do except he's strong and has tattoos. He's also got an eight year old child named little Brian. When I have kids, I'm going to name them all Little Brian.
Drink three monster energy drinks and call me. Then I'll introduce you to the man who can introduce you to the man who can introduce you to Brian. That man will ask you a riddle. If you can answer the riddle, he will walk you the man who can introduce you to Brian who will challenge you to a simultaneous arm wrestling and staring contest. If you survive, you will be introduced to Brian (who will not come out from behind his velvet curtain until you have proven yourself to be worthy) and then maybe you and I can be friends.
Oh wait. You're not Brian, are you? Too bad. Brian's my new friend. Not you.

Big Show coming up.

Hey to the three people that read this blog! Just wanted to mention that The Co-Governors of Space have the biggest show of their lives coming up on July 5th. The Empty Bottle has given us the entire night to do with what we will. That means from 8 to 11 that wednesday the best comedy in town will be on a big stage in the coolest venue in town, The Empty Bottle. We have five comedians and us filling the night. Plenty of amazing talent. Tony Sam, Robert Buscemi, Allison Leber, Jared Logan and Kumail are my favorite local comedians and they're going to be there that night. And expect all the best that we've ever put on stage that night as well.
It's going to be really cool...as long as we pull together an audience. So now I've got to get on the promotion. That really just means calling everyone I know and personally imploring them to come. And of course e-mail and MySpace. Then I guess I should flyer in the area of The Empty Bottle. Post something on the local improv board. I hope this turns out to be a huge success so that we can do this more than once.
Wish us luck.
You'll hear more about this later.
