Two Beers and a Pretzel

SURF CITY

I’ve progressed in my Kite Surfing lessons to the point where I get to take a kite out into the ocean.  In the following video, I don’t have a board on, but I did learn to use the kite to pull myself over crashing waves (most of the time), as well as drag me out to sea, and more importantly – back to shore!

I did get on a board my last time out, but the wind conditions were too light for me to stand up on it.  My next step is to buy some gear of my own (board, kite, harness, control bar, helmet, impact/floatation vest, etc), and start practicing with it!

HOLLYWEIRD

Yesterday, I went with Asa to the weekly Open Mic Night at the Cat Club on Sunset.  It’s usually a bunch of not-yet-successful comics and musicians – with the occasional appearance of actual talent (generally when Brian and Bekah show up).  Sometime in the next few weeks, I’ll get on stage and do some of my songs and see how I do.

So, I ended up sitting next to “Polo the Clown”.  His performance was keyed toward educating the audience about an ancient reptilian race hiding among us in an effort to maintain justice on Earth – and apparently he is one of them.  After his performance, I had the pleasure of listening to him expound on his performance by detailing the failures of commercialized (and diluted for the masses) Kabbalah and the power he wields against them through the “Evil Eye”.

Quite bizarre, but he was actually better than most of the comics who took the stage last night (most of whom embrace shock comedy in lieu of actually being funny).  I told Polo to check out late night AM radio if he’s looking for a nationwide audience already into conspiracy theories and ancient occult rituals.

Welcome to the underbelly of entertainment!
