| Greetings from the Sunshine State! I am very excited to be working down in Florida again. This is a great state to visit. The weather's warm, the drinks are cold, and nobody works too hard. However, this week that motto doesn't apply since there are thousands of firefighters trying to calm the wildfires that are raging here and Southern Georgia. |
| I arrived here Tuesday afternoon after driving all night from Madison, AL, where I had a show the night before. Since I was pretty beat I headed straight for the pool. The weather was pretty warm but I didn't see the sun much due to smoke from the wildfires. I also hit "happy hour" at the hotel for a beverage. I don't know what it is about being in Florida that makes Rum taste so good. |
| The club, The Comedy Zone, is located inside the hotel which made the week that much more enjoyable. I had heard great things about this room from other comics and they were all true. The crowds were great and came out in large numbers, which is impressive for this time of year. With weddings, graduations, etc., May can be a bad month for comedy. The staff was friendly & very helpful, and the food was excellent. (And free!) |
| Overall, it was a great week in Jacksonville. I met some cool people, sold some merch, and even got a little suntan in the process. Getting home to Indiana sucked. I had to take an alternate route because the interstate was closed due to the wildfires. Between the lack of rain and high winds, the fire has proven a pain in the ass for everybody. I even saw one in median on the interstate! I sure hope the South-East gets some rain FAST! Until next week... Danny :-) |
