I’ve always thought it would be a fun writing exercise to keep a daily blog, so I’m considering giving it a shot. How many days do you think I can go? My buddy Andy Sandford did it for a while, which was inspiring. Andy, are you still doing it? Andy and I speak through my blog now. I am putting the over/under at fourteen days. “Over/under” is a gambling term which means if I go fifteen days in a row, you would owe me money, and if I only make it thirteen days, I would owe you money. So how much would you like to bet?
Keep in mind, I could technically post a one-word blog, or even a picture, and it would still count as a blog. I’ve started up with Instagram (@joezimmerman) so I might be able to ride a few blogs on sweet pics alone. You want to put in five dollars? Okay, I’ll take that bet.
Here is what’s new. Today I am going to the Letterman taping to watch Tommy Johnagin perform as the stand-up guest. You can catch him tonight on the Letterman that’s on TV (Friday night). This weekend finds me at the Pittsburgh Improv Friday – Sunday, staying with my friends Craig & Holly who are about to have a baby. I hope they have the baby while I’m there so that I can name it. That’s how it works right? First one to see the baby names it. I will have to take a look before making my decision, but it will likely be either “Maximillion Achee” or “Baby Achee.” The following week I will be in NYC performing in the Laughing Devil Festival for major cash rewards. I plan on winning lots of cash & prizes. Then, May 20-27 The Beards of Comedy are getting back together for a midwest tour that stops in Urbana (The Iron Post), Madison (Club on State), Iowa City (The Mill), Saint Louis (Firebird), and Bloomington, IN (Comedy Attic).
Finally, I have a new intern named Chad who is heavily involved with my twitter @JoeZimmerman and behind the scenes stuff. I had to fire my last intern due to a lack of effort and poor grammar (no pressure Chad). He seems very enthusiastic and he is getting his marketing degree at Phoenix Online. We’re very proud of him.
