Hi Kids!

So just when I thought the traveling couldn't get more extreme.. I flew to LA yesterday (Sunday) and..back on the same day. I'm sure the folks at customs thought I had a colon full of poppies. That's one of the good things about being semi-famous is that if they go.. "didn't I just see you?" I can say "maybe on TV" and they smile and stamp my papers and let me through. Phew. Nothing really caps off a day of flying for ten hours and auditioning for 3 like a good ole cavity search! Moooooooonnn River! Thank ya Doc. Y'ever serve time?

Got to have a nice meal with my cousin (who is also my drummer and the drummer for a band called Rosavelt) and his loverly wife Kim. As luck would have it they were in town for a few days. I love them..that is all.

As I write this I am listening to "Badlands" by Metalchurch which is being lovingly piped into my earholes by my new iPod shuffle...a device that I initially thought would be stupid but now... uh.. i..love ...it's awesome.

I hope you are all doing well and I have a bit of a request... consider it market research... I'm embarkling on a New Stand-up tour and rather than do comedy about insulated hollywood bs which is always the danger once you start working non-stop... I wanna know what you'd like me to make fun of! Just let me know something that you hate or ticks you off or you find ridiculous... now for legal reasons don't comment too much I don't wanna rip anyones stuff or be accused of doing so... so if you choose...just write "Strollers" or "loud cell phone talkers" and I'll give it the old college go and if you come see me and I'm doing the bit you can say.. "Hey I suggested that subject, you big hollywood phoney!" and I'll hug you and say thanks!

Cheers all,

Hal
