I got back to Boston on Saturday and went to Matt Wininger's show at the Reel Bar to support the show. I was lucky and got a spot on the show. I was up third...
Nobody else wanted to host. Some wanted to leave early, others simply didn't feel up to it, so I did what I go to the Vault for. I hosted. But before I did...
Fifty-two weeks. Fifty-two weeks from last Saturday my Grandma died. And last Saturday, three-hundred sixty-four days later, Richard Pryor died. On both...
I went to the Vault in hopes of hosting, but it didn't happen. I got the next best thing though. I got a relatively flexible amount of time for my set in the...
Well Eric, this was an interesting year wasn't it? A year ago you thought about the lyric that states that life is what happens when you're busy making other...
Eric looked over his last issue of the year and clicked "Send." Though not quite up to par with the previous year-in-review, it was after all in the second...
I decided to walk from the T to the Mt. Auburn Shaw's at the Watertown/Cambridge line. When I got there, I decided I would definitely take the bus to the T on...
Tonight I'll be hosting there with Ken Reid, Chris Oake, Amanda Beals, Chris Fleming, Barry Kneller, Jimmy Wahl, and WXLO's Steve Donovan headlining. It's a...
In retrospect the directions actually made sense. But that didn't mean I wouldn't get slightly lost on the way to the Dockside. I knew this would happen, so...
Previously: I actually had a good set at the Green Dragon. I was apathetic to when I'd go on, it'd either be second or fifth, I wanted to make sure I got on,...
It's happened for at least the last couple of weeks. The Friday show at the Vault sharply contrasted with the Saturday show. Last week the Friday show was...
And the contrasts continued. I wrote my issue early last week to go to Sterling to visit my family. Growing up, I knew so many people with birthdays in...
I wasn't as much a tourist as I thought I'd be this week. On Saturday, I walked to the Thirsty Ear Pub. If you walk down Sixth Street, until it becomes other...
I'm glad I settled on using words ilke "probably" to describe the likelihood of my appearances at open mics around town. I spent most of Saturday celebrating...
I write these things purely from memory. I will keep things in mind throughout the week, like recurring themes or possible titles that would fit the week, but...

My streak broken, I wasn't too sad that it was too late to go to the Vault hoping to get stage time. And it was too late to go to the Studio to catch the end...
After writing this thing last week, I had some errands to do. Tomorrow night's show requires shirts with iron-on letters. So, I went to Pearl Arts & Crafts...
I had the song stuck in my head for more than a week. It was "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Miserables. I was to play a Boston comedy union leader...
And at the Vault, the night I got spooked by the part time bartender, the headliner, Mike Baker, and the waitress who drove the bartender upstairs, put on a...
The predictions for where I'd be this week are now false. I'll be hanging out at the Comedy Studio from Wednesday night to Sunday night. Wednesday is the...
My friend from high school is a curious fellow, curious in the I-want-to-learn-more-about-this kind of way. His taste in music has, thus far, skewed towards...
The past few weeks I've had so much to write about, but not the time. And it's not just the comedy stuff right now. Two weeks ago, when my old friend was...
I did not go out anywhere on Saturday night. I took the night off for once, which would become a point of conversation hanging out at the Studio the next...
Sometimes the inmates running the asylum isn't all it's cracked up to be. I got to the Vault at about 8:45 and the wait staff was outside chatting. They told...
At the Vault, the show went on. There was a nice crowd and another large group of comics all wanting to get on. Derek Gerry hosted and put me on the lineup...
So I got to the Vault a little late on Saturday, that's okay. This time there would be a show, it was Saturday night, after all. There were a large number of...
Thursday, May 18th: I was hanging out at Bukowski's after a seminar on LA with the usual gang of Great and Secret Show fans. I got invited, along with other...
Well, I guess I still feel a little guilty about it. First of all, it was one of those days that was just a little rushed. There's a certain keyboard...
And that's about all I forgot of last week's issue. And it's apt as that's kind of how I felt during my standup sets this week. I hadn't performed much in the...
