Went to The Improv last night and →[More:]because a houseguest visiting my roommate was on the plane on the trip from LA to Houston with all the comedians--the headliner was
Gabriel Iglesias--we got to hang with them after the show.
What fun! All four obviously love their work, and talking to them off-stage it *is* work, but they're all doing what they love.
And they were all total dorks, too. I mean, there's this huge club right next door, and none of the guys were looking for that type of afterparty. They just wanted to hang and talk with interesting people, and one in particular kept imploring us to e-mail him because all he does after shows is to go back to the hotel and geek out on the 'net. I e-mailed him last night to thank him, and I got a long ass reply back telling me "the rest of the story" about HIS side of a particularly long piece Iglesias did about a practical joke that was played. Hilarious stuff.
Laughter is the best medicine. I got home last night and slept really, really well. Woke up late, and yet I feel completely energized and ready for the day. What a fun night, spent with way cool people.
I'm ready for the weekend now. How's about you?
