Erie, PA


On the way home from Erie, I passed this van in the middle of Ohio. I was kind of surprised when I saw that a van painted like Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon was not being searched by the police on the side of the road. I am pretty sure they were watching The Wizard of Oz, though. Weird.

Train Concert

I just performed in front of 4,000 people as the opening act for Train, the Grammy Award winning band. As you can see from the picture, I could not see anything so there was no way to get nervous.

I was in Erie, PA with Steve Shaffer and Jared Stern at JR's Comedy Club when this opportunity came up between the two Saturday shows. This is why it pays to be a clean comedian.

Car Stereo Stolen

My car was broken into last night while it was parked at a mechanic shop downtown Indianapolis. How pathetic does someone have to be to break into a car and steal a car stereo? Not only that, the thieves decided to also steal my library card -- as if they know how to read -- and a box full of JohnGcomedy.com website cards. They left the crowbar used to break my window and the police have identified the fingerprints. Idiots.

Omaha, NE

Omaha, NE provided me with plenty of things to see and do. On my way there, I stopped by John Wayne's birthplace outside of Des Moines, IA. That is when I saw the bumper sticker and had to take a picture.
The Omaha Royals were playing the Albuquerque Isotopes in AAA baseball, so I got to see people heckle, yes heckle, the other team. Talk about a tough crowd.

Sioux City, IA

I spent the past weekend in Sioux City, IA, made famous by the Lewis and Clark expedition. The only person to die on the expedition died in Sioux City -- of appendicitis! Not much has happened since then. I did a guest set tonight in Des Moines, IA that went really well. It was also nice to see some college friends again.
