I thank those who came to my show in sub arctic armpit cold weather last week and those who flitted by in spirit, including Abraham Lincoln and Mrs. Edith Grovella, who died in a 1 BR on the lower east side in the late 1950’s. Sorry I didn’t get to your bit Abe. Will do next time. Good show with a small but might crowd.
Video is up on my Youtube channel. Now what? Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, gentle cycle, tumble dry low, that’s the order of things this month with my material. It’s good to crack the egg salad open on stage; now I give all I can to it for the next 3 months and nothing else. At least this month, February, the moth of frolic and fury. A lot can change in a month.
When I was a teenager in Indiana I had a run of subpar Februaries; I became convinced February was a cursed month for me. It was nothing extravagant but for me small things were painful, like depth perception shifts and other intangible psychic elements that dotted my landscape. Part of it was probably the weather, living off Lake Michigan it got cold. I can’t recall any event per se that got me into that belief but I held to it. Parts of me were not happy and parts of me were fine, I guess the usual combustible mixture for a pubescent kid. But with a real rushing undertow of rapids of latent living left untouched. I had some trouble with authority and yet ended up Class President in 7th and 8th grade, a bizarre mix that made me realize if I want something in life it seems I’d be best to answer to my own boss to do it.
However, this February I want to be the greatest month in my life. If I were a jet, I would have crashed by now after running out of fuel for being in a holding pattern so long. After the show, I had trouble sleeping because I hit some power grid in my soul and I know I can’t go back. It’s a healthy fever, and one I want to break only after I run amok for a while. I’m due for a crazy stunt. We’ll see what Rev66 Peachnuts (the name for my higher self) dials down over the next few days. Could involve nudity. We’ll see.
My prediction for Puppy Bowl: Golden Retriever puppy 7 kissies, Shitzu puppy 1 chew toy gnarled. I hope they have the Hamster Cam. I have big money on this game.
