This is an awful lot of awesome.

Are there still plans for a welcome-back party next weekend?

Damn straight! I made a facebook event of it, but you're not on there, are you? I'll post details here in a few days, but till then, yes, my place at 8ish, next Saturday, the 3rd, spread the word!

ARE YOU PLAYING IN NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO?

I heard someone on the radio mention "somethign something monologues!" and there was a mention that the comedian liked comic books and cartoons and I thought "hey there's a guy on the internet like that"!

Ha, no, not yet! Someday, I hope to perform in that province (Ottawa is very likely, and maybe London, as they both have Fringe festivals) but not right now! Man, now I'm wondering who they were talking about!
