vu
graham/ashley
wei
xiao li
renato/lori

if you want to come and aren't on the list, you can come too, just let me know!

i am in desperate need for a big update.
an update that chronicles a-kon and all the events afterwards that lead up to now.

this is not that update.

this update is about july 4th.  like last year (for those of you who went), pool partay @ my place.  if you're in the former "josue's apartment" group, you're auto-invited.  otherwise, you can probably come as well.  everyone who wants to go let me know and I'll probably give you the thumbs up.  details shall be posted as soon as i have a clue of what's going down... but that'll come after I get a core list.  so long story short, tell me if you want to come.

currently attending (as of time of post)

Comedy and A-Kon

This blog entry is in 2 parts: Comedy and A-Kon

1) Comedy
Houston's Funniest didn't go well, but at least I've learned things because of it... not what I expected to learn, but that's irrelevant.  That's all that needs to be said about it. (Sidenote: I have a CD of my set from Houston's Funniest, but I'm afraid to listen to it, expecially since the thing I hate the most about my performance is my voice... with video it's tolerable, but audio alone... who knows.  Once I find out if it's good or not, I might make it available for y'all.)

Tomorrow night I'll be doing standup in Arlington, but after that, I'll be taking at least a month off from standup; both watching (with the possible exception of Harland Williams next week) and performing.  I've been spending a lot of time doing comedy lately but I need to take a break, re-evaluate everything, think lots of things over, and hopefully write a few new jokes.  In about a month, I'll decide whether (in order of likelihood) I'm ready to start up again, I need more time to work on things, or if I should stop.

2) A-Kon
Tomorrow, I'll be leaving for A-Kon in Dallas... hopefully I'll have enough money.  I have a hotel room w/ Robert (and possibly more), plus I'll be seeing my old friend "Gay Ian" (the term used with all due respect solely to seperate him from other Ian's I know... when I met him I also knew "Mohawk Ian" [who, sadly, no longer has a mohawk] and "Stoner-hippy" Ian) plus many BTX'ers.  I put together a last-minute cosplay of Matsushiro Ken from Yakitate!! JaPan, which of course means I shaved... damnit.  Anyway, I'll come back soon with stories and pictures, but if you are going to be at the con let me know so we can meet up!

See you, space cowboy

I had a group interview @ Banana Republic on Wednesday, did well, and I have my 2nd interview (not group this time) today @ 2:15... wish me luck.

Don't forget Houston's funniest on Tuesday!  I wrote up a set list, and hopefully I'll remember them all on stage (if I remember them all, I estimate that I'll have just about enough time)

Set list (in tentative order):
Bisexual Girls
Packing Cigarettes
Paris
Dad thinks I'm gay (improved!)
Diet Corndog
Made w/ Love
Curling
Ray Charles
Charlie
Superman (shortened, and in effect, improved!)
