I went to another Vietnam event at Mosaic Café in Minneapolis tonight. Some musicians started off the event, the guitar player was named Nigel. Notable in one of the songs was the line 'Everybody wants justice done'. I had chicken tenders there as I hadn't eaten dinner yet, as I decided to go over
there right after getting off the bus from work. I gave my business card when requested as I was informed they were looking for more spoken word people and they heard how I do comedy. Then it was on to the comedy club. The sub teacher was show closer. He did the one about Smitten Kitten as well as one about throwing Megan Fox in the same category with Charles Barkley. Others were about 'You mean books', women who keep playing house, and the movie 'Saving Private Ryan'. The school bouncer did ones about first dates, golf, Redbox, and taking time to order at McDonald's. The software developer did one about how he is not ready to be a grandpa. The university accountant did one about somebody saying it was 'God's will' after they had 7 drinks. Others were about old liquor stores, pedal pub, babies in the office, and the Rubik's cube. The lunch lady was in health club management. The godmother did one about her bucket list. Others were about sleep apnea, an eating disorder, acronyms, dog surgery, and candy stripers. Conga line did ones about 'Get a garage', and truck nuts. The Texas native and barber did one about Candy Crush, and midget sidekicks. The Kentucky native did one about his body image, and a crowd member who was bad at talking. The preschool teacher did ones about the song 'Down by the bay', and the caterpillar book.
Riding the bus to work this morning, I was thankful to get to know another rider better. This is the Science Museum employee. She spoke of growing up in Chicago housing projects, same one Kirby Puckett was in and going to school with Mr. T. This is probably the Robert Taylor homes. She is planning on going back to visit in August, to the northwest suburbs which I am familiar with. It was nice to hear town names like Hanover Park and Hoffman Estates again. She also spoke of what closed on 9/11, like the El-trains and the Sears Tower. I knew about some of it as a suburbanite.
