This weeks adventures includes a trip to a SPA. A spa where I do not experience buyers remorse mid-massage. A trip to Reno Nevada that included; running into random fishermen from Fisherman’s Wharf, A Snow Storm, 6 hours at a Black Jack table with all of Wisconsin and, a blizzard in Donner Pass and,,,,,,,a visit from none other than Ms Puddin.
Yes Dr. B and I took a little weekend trip to Reno so I could do all the things that make my heart go pitter patter. I drank cheap whisky, ate an expensive steak, took some time for myself in the spa and then I sat at a Black Jack table with an old dude from Wisconsin for 6 straight hours. After reading that sentence I might want to explain that yes I am a girl. A girl with dude-like tendencies.
On our way home we ran into a little trouble in the Donner Pass. It seems that Donner Pass is the snowiest point in California and it seems that sudden blizzards are of no cause for worry to your random traveler from San Francisco who only packed her silver loafers and a cute shrug to stave off the cold. See there we are, I’m sounding like a girl again. Dr. Brian and I were worried but I wasn’t too worried because we ate at a lunch buffet before we left town so I knew he wasn’t going to eat me. After seeing what he ate at the buffet there was no chance I was ever considering cannibalizing him.
This teeny blip in weather history made us extremely late for our One Year Anniversary show for Wharf Room Comedy. Thank goodness we have fantastic comedy friends that are there for us and opened our show without hesitation. Unfortunately we planned to debut our new act as a comedy duo that night. We were able at one point to go on stage and thank all of our fans and comedians for all of your support for the last year. I was able to chug a Corona, do some yoga stretches and make stupid faces, while Dr. B rambled on and on and on and on, blah, blah, blah – thank you blah, blah, blah; because he just can’t seem to shut up.
The very next day I picked up Ms. Puddin from the airport. She was my treat for the week and what a lovely treat she is.

Dr. Brian and I talk abut the importance of foreskin. I announce my retirement from the cubicle and we both agree I’m way funnier. Sorta.

I arrived in San Francisco two years ago July. I KNOW, it seems like its been a really long time. Some days I feel like I was born here- other days when I’m walking through the Mission and wishing I was as skinny as some of the hipsters which makes me feel like I belong in the Nation’s midsection and; I am the size of the Nation’s midsection.
I started working at Castagnola’s in July 2008 as a hostess. Some time around January 2009 I was officially promoted to Assistant General Manager. On March 31st 2009 Dr. B and I produced our first Wharf Room Comedy Showcase in the banquet room of Castagnola’s. In the time since that day we have grown to 4 shows per week, an annual contest which pushed our winter schedule to 5 nights per week ANNNNDDDD… if you’re not tired enough; we started and open mic at Pier 23 Cafe on the Embarcadero.
My writing had fallen off before I started comedy. That’s no excuse – but it almost became impossible to write anything that wasn’t a dick joke in the last year. One of my more famous jokes; “Brian proves that not everything from Texas is bigger”……. yuk, yuk, yuk.
This last 11 months I have worked a regular schedule of 15 hour days, six days a week. If I needed to take an extra day for a weekend I generally worked 8 straight days which was the case last September when I drove to Portland to pick up Luna and, to visit my Children and a few friends. The day that I left for Portland I had two HUGE events at the restaurant and, 2 employees walk out on me because I wasn’t as patient and nice as I usually am. Six hours later, 3 hours late; I jumped in the car and proceeded to have the worst road trip in the history of road trips because I was pissed, tired and, grumpy. Ain’t not grumpy like me. And when I’m grumpy Dr. B seems to be the worst person to be around – guess what? I was stuck in a car with him for 12 straight hours.
Included in the last 11 months have been a few health issues. I added 15 pounds to my back side, I’ve developed a severe allergy to god knows what that includes, facial swelling and what appear, and feel like, chemical burns around my eyes and mouth. OOOOH LUCKY ME!! I perform on stage several nights a week and I look like I washed my face with nuclear sludge. Who knows if the allergies were from work, or stress or if someone is actually poisoning me. I do know that I give 150% to any job I do, whether or not that energy is directed and successful in the right places remains a mystery. The point being that I stress myself out until I’m sick.
Choices had to be made.
I’ve been encouraged by several people to go on stage. I HAVE IT RECORDED AND I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU!! , at about the 10.55 mark. So there bitches– And thanks to Tim Taylor. After a lot of encouragement I did finally get on stage. You can see it here. I roasted Dr. B and, I showed little boys how to truly “get mid-evil” on someone. Then we started a podcast so I can have a public outlet to deal with all of the bullshit Dr. B, the narcissist/ADD/Comedian puts me through on a weekly basis.
I’ve been talking with Brian about my current mental state of general un-wellness and then one day he looked at me and said, “Babe I got this.” I will now devote 150% of my energy to the one career that fell out of nowhere and makes me very, very happy!! As of today I am working for myself as a full-time comedy promoter and producer. My first project is taking The Comedy Club at Castagnola’s to the next level and performing along the way.
I’m nervous and unsettled. Unsettled in a way that included me re-arranging, replacing and organizing my entire house in one day. All the laundry is done and the carpet has been vacuumed. We have new shelves and a new desk. I finished unpacking – we moved here a few months ago and I was still living out of boxes. I moved a box yesterday and saw Luna for the first time in months.
“Hello little puppy, Mommy’s home”
