Top billing???

So I have this gig coming up in North Rose, NY at the Waypoint Inn.

It's one of the gigs I'm headlining. Normally that means you get 'top billing'. Nope, not I. I am at the bottom of the list. You may also note that the MC is at the top of the show. This is what is known in the business as, "The MC is the guy that put the show together"

I see it as, "Hey, you gave me bottom billing, therefore I have the right to suck that night!"

All in fun Steve! Looking forward to my bottom billing show that night. I think there is room in the flyer to advertise the buffett salad bar right above my name.

A Pimp named Slickback

It's been since probably the late 70's since I've seen a REAL pimpmobile. I wish I could have got some more pictures of this pimpmobile. Even the fenders on the side were raised over wheel wells .

However it's not a smart move to roll up next to a pimpmobile and start taking pictures.

O.K. that was stupid

So while I'm in St. Louis I decided it would be fun to have my wife and son come in so we could go up in the Arch.

Well we also decided to go to this place called The City Museum. Basically it's like Chuck E Cheese on steroids minus the pizza.

It's the ultimate playground and evidently the liabilty laws must be more lax in Missouri than in Ohio, the playground is basically a maze of tubes made from things like old airplane fuselages, cranes, open metal tubing, and just about anything else they could find.

It's hard to tell from this picture the following few things.

1. This pipe is about 3 stories high.

2. The picture is far away enough to hide my fear.

3. A 38 inch waist is not made to go through a 36 inch pipe.

4. My wife laughing her ass off as she was taking these pictures.

5. I think she was laughing so hard that fortunately she didn't take the picture at the end when I had to actually manuever my body in some weird positions to turn around. You see half way across this 'curved' tube you realize. "Oh crap, I'll be going down face first at the end!"

I do kind of look like Spiderman though!

O.K. if Spiderman was retarded...

Yes, you are famous!

Yes, you have on the famous Eric Kirkland "Single" T-shirt.

(Available from my website at www.thequestionmarkguy.com)

So now you have made it to my blog and newsletter whoever you are.

Even though maybe it's the way he is holding the beer but the shirt seems to be the perfect fit!

Why I like this picture

This is a picture from Goonies in Rochester, MN. What a great club!

This is a picture of myself, Darryl Rhoades, and Kevin (whose last name I forget, imagine that, me forgetting someones name again)

Anyway, Kevin is a really cool dude who actually was once in a gang but is turning his life around and is funny dude. I really give him props for making a change to put is life in a better direction. That makes me proud to know him.

Now, back to this picture. First off, I'm really digging my $2.00 Superman hat I picked up at Wal-Mart. Now, remember Kevin is the tough one and Darryl and I are two of the nerdiest people you'll probably ever meet.

It must have been the peer pressure that made us both try, and the key word is try, to look tough. I don't know what Darryl is doing with his hands. Kind of has the look of he's trying to tell the woman that is taking the picture, "Yeah, it's this big!"

Meanwhile Kevin is the only one with a smile on his face....go figure!
