However, having completed the course, I find myself wondering if continuing my blog isn't such a bad idea after all . ..
Chances are no one will read it, but who knows?
In any case, I've decided to start fresh and start jotting some ideas down here that will more than likely be viewed only by me and the handful of people who aggressively search me out online.
And so for my first post, and with an anonymous obsessive fan in mind, I have decided to promote my new show that I am producing.
The comedy business is difficult, especially in NYC. Even with the number of full service, 7 day a week comedy clubs, the sheer volume of comedians looking for stage time often leads younger comics to run a room of thier own. The best of these rooms are usually music venues, but most rooms are bars and coffee houses that have no real stage, no way of seperating the show from the patrons who just came in for a drink.
This is why I am so psyched about the show I've been running, for a month now, at a Jazz club in the West Village. Every Thursday night at 8pm, it's

Zinc Bar, a fixture for live jazz and world music in the village for years, has recently relocated from their place on Houston St. to a much larger space at 82 west 3rd st, between Sullivan and Thompson. The new location has a storied history, having gone through many changes over the years, including the Boston Comedy Club some 25 years ago before it moved upstairs.
