and now I'm depressed
I have probably had more fun doing this contest then I have had in comedy so far. I have met some amazing people that I love to death. Jen Kober is still in first I thought people were going to disembowell themselves after her Witney song in Bellingham. I'm sure that means another 1st place. She is a very sweet girl, and I wish her all the luck in the world. I have felt pretty proud of myself up until last night. I had an awful set in Moses Lake but I didn't feel that bad about it. I was very much in contention until last night, where I just sucked the pipe. Everything was off my timing my delivery my energy. I was truthfully embarassed.
That doesn't change the great times I've spent with Gabriel (who is just kicking ass Gabe is a fucking great comic), Beka, Peter, Tony B, Tony D, and the rest of the amazing people I have met or spent time with. I feel privileged to be doing comedy with them.
Oh fuck I bombed last night. I deserved last place I don't know what I got, because I left like a little baby. I was so depressed and pissed at myself after the show that I wasn't a whole lot of fun to be around. Beka had to talk me down and offer me a blow job to get me to even smile. I spoke of killing myself quite a bit. I decided instead to go home curl up in bed and watch the history channel and watch some Nazis get shot or something. Instead it was about Alexander the Great. I wasn't really into it so I fell asleep.
This contest has been such a great experience I just wish I could have done better last night so I wouldn't "what if" myself to death.
Dammit.
God I hope this makes me a better comic and doesn't break me of my will to live. Tonight I hope I can do well.
Rock on I guess.

Oh Geoffy. So you had your worst set of the contest, thats ok! You have been in the top 5 twice and there is still one night to go. I can't remember how long you have been doing comedy, but I know it's not that long, you should be really proud of yourself. You have been totally solid and totally you on stage. Your inner voice matches your stage voice and that puts you ahead of about 2/3 of every comic in the world. Not only that you have been the unquestionable favorite of the other comics in the competition. I know working the back of the room isn't always a good thing, but there is nothing wrong with the respect of your peers. You have also been spontanous on stage during a competition, most people dont have the balls to do that either. By the way you didn't get 16th place last night, it was 13th. I know its not what you were looking for obviously, but keep it in perspective. The guy who personolizes jokes he's had emailed to him got 6th. These contests are a crapshoot. You have become a better comic by being in this contest, and I have been proud to show you as an example of Seattle comedy to the out of towners.

wow Gabe,
That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Thank you it means A LOT coming from you. I respect you immensely and consider you a really good friend. Well before I blather on, let me just say that your comment made my day and I can't thank you enough. Last night was tough on my psychi(sp?) but overall this has really been one of the funnest things I've ever been involved in. You are a big reason why it has been.

i think you two should just accept the fact that you are gay and get a life-committed..we have all known for a long time that you both a) suck, and b) are raging queers.
love beka
