So I call Gary
Mann's office this morning. I've left messages with
his assistant every day for the past week. The
assistant, Joe, apologizes for the game of phone tag
and says he can help. I had a smartass inner-moment to
giggle at that one. Calling this "phone tag" is like
calling masturbation "sex". LMAO. He says he can book
the date with me and brings up the
calendar.
!??!?
HUH?!? It was that
easy? Something I've wanted since JULY? So Comedy
Central has the theater from Monday - Thursday and
they're booked all through October. First opening is
November 2nd, but I wanted it closer to the weekend
for my dad to be able to fly out, and that left
Thursday the 12th. And there it was. After weeks of
aggrivation, in 3 minutes it was done. I hang up and
as I'm dialing my father to tell him the news, I jump
on The Journey because it occurs to me that date was
very close to the infamous The Comedy Store date from
2001...
Close?
Try exact. You have to be kidding. The
Journey's first 10 years are going to be
bookended by one special date, that at the
time, were the biggest nights of my life.
I got the chills of a lifetime when
I saw that it was the exact same
date. You simply could not have written it
any better.
Crazier?
Same concept. The TVs, the characters,
everything. And all RIGHT before
Entry #1000 and the 10 year anniversary.
It has such a Disney feel to it that you
have to wonder why I even stress about it.
Then again, if it weren't for my constant
stressing, plotting, calling... this would
never have been booked. But I can't deny
the Journey Gods for that date... oh shit,
I should let them strike...

I'm so bad at
remembering to put The Journey Gods in. Recently the
news was so overwhelming and emotional - they
cheapened it too much. And when I'm pissed off, the
last thing I want to do is insert fucking cartoon
characters. No this is a perfect "Journeyriffic"
moment to be playful and just rejoice: it is booked.
November 12th, at 8 pm. Taping "Adam & The
Egos" for Comedy Central at the Hudson Theater in
Hollywood. I will have all the produced bits ready,
and the audience will see the playback as the whole
thing is taped live. Tech rehearsal that
afternoon.
Wow. If the last 7
weeks were the slowest in my life, can you imagine how
fast the next 7 will be?
