Hi Howard! Sorry the show wasn’t that Twitterific, my connection was not happening via Blackberry tonight. Man, there were a few moments that I would have loved to have captured! Topline summary:
1. Not even close to sold-out, I was kinda surprised?
2. Huge Barack supporter-base in attendance; plenty of booing for all things Republican, Bush and McCain, I was kinda NOT surprised?
3. I finally started to laugh at the end; the first part of his act either wasn’t that funny, or I was offended at how mean he was being? (my mom raised me better than that!) When he got into some of the differences between men and women, I was more than entertained (and we will leave it at that).
Thanks for the shout out!

Man that show sucked!! I think only about 100-125 people attended!! The protestors outside of his show (protesting his hate speech of religion and minorities) were more entertaining. I won’t waste my money on a concert of his ever again. I hope his show gets better or I won’t watch that anymore either. What’s happening to good comedy writers? They went on strike and never came back I think!
Bill- get a new schtick! The ” I hate everyone ” is old and tired now.
