At the comedy club tonight, the show closer was the Southern girl but not the same one from last night. She spoke of some things I had heard of before like weight loss surgery. But a newer one was having a brother in the porn business in Switzerland, and the cost of sending his wife's ferret over there. And how the mom apparently still doesn't know about his being in the porn business.
I made some nice discoveries today when going online. One of these was on E-bay, finding out the number 9 postcard in the EC Kropp series of my hometown. It is Sunset Park, a place where I had played Little League baseball. It is a bid-on item instead of a buy it now. The other was about a play I have wanted to see for a while. When I was bored I searched for 'Our American Cousin', the play being shown when Lincoln was assassinated. It is hard to find. The reason why I've wanted to see it is why almost nobody wants to do the play: the belief that it's cursed due to its connection to history. It is at a school in Wisconsin about 40 miles outside Milwaukee, starting this weekend. I called the school about it, and was called by the director. It likely means introducing myself to the director when I make it there as I expect that they are impressed by some yahoo from Minnesota wanting to see their play. I did say that I majored in history, so them knowing this may help it make more sense. The logistics may be a little tough, but I will do my best to make it work. Hopefully the weather cooperates on driving there. I will want to see and do a few other things, like visit with my favorite aunt who lives near Madison and Janesville. The director did want to remind me how it's a high school play, I said I was fine with this as long as there aren't any microphone problems. I don't expect it to be as good as the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.
I looked at the buttons I had bought from the auction in October and decided to move some to the office. This included ones like 'Don't let the turkeys get you down' or 'Being held prisoner in a button factory'. Much like other items I've moved there, I'm doing this as I would expect that they would get looked at more there.
