They say a tie is like kissing your sister. Well, tying for second place is like kissing your sister and then going down on her boyfriend while your parents both tell you they love sis more. OK, that might have been a little over dramatic but that’s how I roll people! The 2007 Funniest Person in Baltimore contest has come and gone. Congrats to Larry Poon for his victory. Larry had a great set and is an awesome comic. I finished tied for second with Jim Myer. Jim and I will drink our sorrows away. We’ll be fine but feel free to buy us a drink the next time you see us. I want to give special thanks to all my cool peeps that came out like Dawn and Jesse, Chantelle, Corine, Matt, Steve, Alyson and all the comics that were there to support me and the show. I’d say I’ll get ’em next time but I think I am done with contests for a while. I’ve never had a good experience with contests so I think its time we break up and start seeing other shows. And I’ve got some kick ass shows coming up that I am really looking forward to. You’ll be blogged and bulletined to death about them so brace yourself. I will now listen to “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra and all will be well again. See ya soon. That’s life, that’s what all the people say. You’re riding high in April, Shot down in May. But I know I’m gonna change that tune…
