Virginia Beach, VA

When visiting Virginia Beach, VA, you absolutely must take a trip to Mount Trashmore Park. Rising nearly seven stories above sea level, the landfill (voted best park in the area) is the tallest point of land in the region. There is even a Lake Trashmore in case you feel like eating a fish caught in a lake right next to a landfill. Unbelievable.

On top of all this news, I happened to visit the park during the Lumberjack Championship. Forget the axe-throwing and log-chopping. The best part were the interviews after each event. Even more unbelievable.

Bob & Tom Radio Show

I was a guest on the nationally-syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show for the second time. It was fun to be on the show with my good friend Mike Armstrong. Tom continues to marvel at the fact that I gave up my career as a CPA to be a comedian but it certainly provides a large target for them to get laughs. That target got even bigger when I told them about playing the trombone in the Notre Dame marching band: "I thought accounting was going to make me way too cool, so I decided to geek it up a little bit with some band".

Sioux Falls, SD

I just spent the entire day driving 750 miles with my good friend Dan Davidson, listening to him repeatedly sing Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual". Dan and I were working together at Nitwits Comedy Club in Sioux Falls, SD. The highlight of the week was sweating out the Notre Dame win over Georgia Tech. Just to see how I would react during my set, Dan sent me a note that said that Notre Dame had lost. Any true sports fan will tell you that this is never funny, especially when that sports fan is on stage at a comedy show. I needed a moment to gather my thoughts, so I decided that the entire crowd should join me in a moment of silence. Of course, no one in Sioux Falls cares much about college football, let alone knew that Notre Dame was playing that day, so it was the perfect moment for all the staff and other comedians to laugh hysterically.

RooftopComedy.com has been showcasing one of my jokes. There are some new jokes on the video, so feel free to watch and let me know what you think. I just finished another weekend with Mike Armstrong. The Go Bananas Comedy Club crowd in Cincinnati might never be the same. I had a great time and enjoyed spending all day Sunday at King's Island.

St. Louis, MO

I don't highly recommend going to a baseball game in 100-degree weather but this was probably the only chance I had of seeing the St. Louis Cardinals play this season. The new Busch Stadium is very nice without a lot of gimmicks. You are definitely there to see a baseball game with the Gateway Arch and city's skyline serving as a perfect backdrop. Although the Cardinals lost to the Phillies, my friend Dave and I still had a good time.

Boston, MA

I made my first trip to Fenway Park in Boston tonight with my friend Dave Gilbertson, who was able to get some luxury box tickets for the Red Sox game. It was a very cool stadium with some seriously intense fans. Ben Affleck even got heckled by his entire section for not catching a foul ball.

I was in town after doing a really fun show in Waterville, ME and ocean kayaking in Kennebunkport near Walker's Point, the family vacation home of President Bush.

Detroit, MI

I performed at Ridley's Comedy Castle near Detroit this weekend. I had a great time hanging out with fellow comedian Chris White again while we saw a bloody fistfight at a Tigers game and visited the home of Motown at Studio A. The highlight of the trip was making a mock movie preview for 11 Mile.

St. Joseph, MI

Before you do anything else, check out the band Studiotone and buy their CD. I performed tonight at Czar's, a little venue in St. Joseph, MI that does a nice job of combining comedy with original music. I had a great set and enjoyed some good laughs with Bryan and the guys. Now go buy their CD.

Real Salt Lake Soccer

Mike and I went to a Major League Soccer game today to see Real Salt Lake play the Chicago Fire. Thanks to RSL GM Steve Pastorino (pictured), we sat in great seats and got the inside scoop during the game.

We sat right behind Frank Klopas, former US Men's National Team player, and listened to him break down the game. I had a great time and look forward to seeing RSL win the next time I get to a game.

Lancaster, PA

I never thought I would ever get to say I had a Whoopie Pie in Intercourse, PA, but that is what happens when you have some free time near Lancaster, PA. You could also visit Bird-In-Hand, PA and Blue Ball, PA if you have the time. It seems that there are only a few things to do: shop at the outlet malls or stare at the Amish. After seeing an Amish guy checking out an iPod in Target, I chose to get a Mango Gelati at Rita's Ice and watch World Cup Soccer instead.
