DC Comedy Fest or Bust!

It's official: My comedy troupe "Gag Reflex" is invited to perform at this year's D.C. Comedy Festival and we're going! Taking place April 5-8, 2006, the 2nd Annual dccomedyfest brings the best stand up, sketch, improv and short film comedy at EIGHT VENUES around DC for FOUR AWESOME NIGHTS of cutting-edge comedy. "Gag Reflex" is slated to perform on Saturday, April 8th and we get a whopping 20 minute set. At this point, we're flying in on Saturday morning and coming back to Austin on Sunday night so we'll be in the air about 100x longer than we'll actually be on the stage. It's more of an overnight comedy slumber party than anything, but that's ok...Not only will it be my first trip to our Nation's Capital, but it's also the first time I've travelled to an out-of-state Comedy Festival. What's next--Letterman?? Ha ha...Actually, they are holding Letterman auditions at this event so maybe I can think of a way to crash them.

A good thing about this trip? I'll be in taper mode for Boston so I won't miss a long run!

A bad thing about this trip? It will still be Lent so I won't be able to drink with my castmates!

As always, the first aspect of my training to fail when I get busy is my swimming. That's precisely why I need to continue with it in an organized group. I plan on Swimming tonight and then doing my 20 mile run tomorrow morning before I board a plane for a weekend of skiing and chick-bonding in Colorado. I'll ski a couple of days, but I'm also hoping to get some runs in as well. Mother Nature and her fury will dictate a lot of that for me!

Good stuff on the horizon...
