Hollywood: Week 1

    The drive from Philly to LA was amazing!  I completed it in five days...due to Chicago being AWESOME!...And Denver being AWESOMER!!(sic)...Those are two places I cannot wait to get back to and explore. This time, however, there was one goal. 
    "Get to Los Angeles and show 'em what you got!"
    Seven days under my belt.  I could live the rest of my life here.  Why not?  I am a comedian and this is where comedians blossom!...Right? It is if you have a strong foundation!  I am EVER so grateful for the inattention and disrespect I thought I was receiving from the club I called home...It made me strong...it made me determined!...And I might add, it made me FUNNY!  Immediately I've realized that here, you're a booked comic or an open mic comic.  There's none of that in between BS that exist where I'm from where you can effortlessly float between open mics and booked/paid shows and nobody knew the difference.  I almost feel sorry for some of the people who decided to move to LA and THEN start the craft of comedy!  It is literally impossible to gain the experiences and knowledge that I know I have due to beginning and learning in the atmosphere that I did begin in.  
    So far, I've been able to perform on four stages and also present myself for consideration at two comedy clubs.  I always knew some of this video footage would come in handy! They requested a seven minute reel and I was happy to be able to provide that.  However, the prerequisite for booked comedians seems to be some type of TV appearance...in the last 50 YEARS!...I think I may have to go on Judge Judy just for the TV credit!...Also, I've noticed,  just because you're a booked comic and/or have been on TV does NOT mean you're any good at comedy...However, I don't want to or mean to sound bitter at all. I see this town and my presence in it as an opportunity to stand out even further than I ever have. Apparently, I already do! 
    On Monday, I made it official! I now am a licensed and registered driver and also registered voter in the state of California! I also have a PO Box mailing address...but I'm thinking about moving into the mailbox...you know, just til things pick up!  The rent is EXTRAORDINARY in comparison to Philadelphia.  For what you'd pay for something nice in Hollywood, you could live in a condo in Philly...on TOP of the Art Museum!
    Anyhow, I am super enthused about the things to come.  I have the vision, conviction, and belief that I am doing what I was put here to do! This is going to be FUN!...Until next time!...
