L.A. ComedyFest

Well, it is a little bit after the fact, but I want to blog about FGD going to L.A.  

The people at the McCadden Place Theater were nothing if not incredibly great to us.  And when you are from out of town going to a fest for just a couple of days you want to feel welcomed and feel like someone has your back as far as where you are supposed to be going.  Lesson:  If we've never been to the theater before, we probably don't know how to get to the green room.

My point is that the Los Angeles ComedyFest people were very helpful and great to us.

FGD performed Saturday night and Sunday night.  I think Sunday night was our fave show.  Just tighter with a bigger audience response.  

Much thanks to the awesome people who came to the show.

Lessons learned:

-L.A. is hot.  It is not a permanent 72 degress like 90210 would have us to believe.  Damn you, James Eckhouse.

-Having a change fight is always hilarious.

-People always respond to kittens.

-I discovered I need a certain number of overcast days in my life.  These make me happy.  I'm looking at you Seattle.

- People should not send important information over text.  This is rude and disrespectful.  Pick up the phone people.  Or, better yet, man up and go see the person.  Seriously, man up.

-I like mexican food.  No, not just the burrito or Taco Bell side of it, the whole experience of a mexican restaurant...the chips...the margaritas...everything.  

-People in L.A. look at you  like you are crazy if you walk around.  They constantly use their cars.  As a city walker this was weird to me.

-Everyone is constantly industry minded in L.A.  Constantly.  For reals.

-Per square mile, more Starbucks.  Way more.  Annoyingly more.

-Zoltar exists.  I am not bigger.

-Orbs in pictures are not always ghosts.

-I like cucumber in water.  Not fingers.

-Southwest Airlines is great.  God bless you new Wheat Thins pack.

-I sunburn.  I had forgotten this after the long Chicago winter.
