king of comedy movie, doors open tours

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a recent amazon purchase, 'king of comedy'. i recognized jerry lewis and robert deniro in it. this was a dark movie about celebrity worship, and i knew this going into watching it. one reason why i chose it, besides being a performer, is knowing the pretenders song 'back on the chain gang' is in it. only part of the song is heard, in an early scene. i did say 'what are you doing?' when the wannabe comic just decides to wait for somebody in the reception area, even though they weren't due in for hours. some of the things depicted in it were extreme, but likely inspired by things that have actually happened. such as the wannabe comic acting like cardboard cutouts of famous people were real. one doesn't see that much stand-up comedy being performed, it is more about trying to get onto the show. once the movie was done it was time for lunch, and then i knew it was time to get going to doors open tours. it was the second and final day for this event. i went to four buildings. the best one had to be the first one i saw, an art-deco jewel box theater that is the home of a puppet and mask theater- with a koi pond. i said the ambience reminded me of a new orleans mardi gras parade. then i made it to the nearby midtown global market, in the former sears store. then i drove a few miles to uptown and was recognized by a comic who was on the way to get groceries. i toured another theater, and then tried to see a rec center but it was closed. i got a good look around the rest of the building though and saw umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. and i liked hearing alessia cara's 'scars to your beautiful', this was inside the former calhoun square. then i got ice cream at the nearby mcdonald's and went home. i laid down for a while and had the evening meal while watching 'the simpsons', about a clown college. i liked getting more things crossed off my list, such as getting recycle to the capitol and adding to my bus pass, after i had been to the doors open event. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 32 cents.
