Well now THAT, was a weekend! Granted- I worked Friday and Saturday night - but when the "work" is - sittting on stage with LENNY CLARKE for 90 minutes doing a live Q&A, and listening to his wild (but TRUE) stories - I'LL TAKE IT!
Both nights were awesome at The Rex Theater in Manchester- and Lenny regaled the crowds with crazy stories from his life - from getting called into a players meeting by Bill Belichick - to pump up the Pats before the Super Bowl, to doing coke with SAM KINNISON, and having RODNEY DANGERFIELDS penis hanging out during a business meeting- they were funny, outrageous, and all true. If we ever do this again (and we may!) - and you didn't see these shows- you have to see them!
I've known Lenny for more than 25 years, and sitting on stage with him and being on stage with him is like- trying to tame a wild horse. You do the best you can, and hang on for the ride! But seriously, I was honored to host one of the legends of Boston Comedy, and share the stage with him. Love ya Lenny -
Got home at 11p on Friday night- and got up at 4am to catch a few waterfalls in the early morning on Saturday. Started off at Senter Falls in Lyndeboro - a beautiful little NH town.
Yeah- who needs sleep, anyway!!? The truth is - I had only been out shooting ONCE in the last 3 weeks - and that hasn't happened in years! I get out whenever I can, and if I can't - I get real fidgety. It's like therapy for me- and if I go too long with out it -haha- it drives me nuts-
And here's one I got from that morning -
Such a gorgeous place!!!
On Sunday- went to visit a friend in the hospital, and when I got out of my car - I saw this:
WHO KNEW????
How long has THIS been a friggin SECRET????? I mean - JESUS CHRIST lives in BERWICK MAINE? Holy ****, THAT'S ONE TOWN OVER FROM ME! Does he live downtown next to that new burger joint and the Dunks????? I mean - maybe I stopped and let him cross the road in front of me!!! I mean - you think I'd recognize him, but WHO KNOWS???? Maybe I met him at the Strawberry Festival or something!!!
Man, I sure hope I was nice to him, if I did meet him! Hope he remembers that when my time is up!!!
Then on Sunday night we were lucky to get to see comedian SEBASITAN MANISCALCO at the Casino Ballroom. I'm a huge fan of his - and he was great!
And Valerie and I were the last ones to vacate the place before they cleaned it up for the 2nd show! Sebasitan sold out SIX shows at The Casino and just announced a show in November at the Boston Garden!
So - now Im exhausted - and that means- If I suck MORE THAN USUAL on Monday - that's why. My apologies, in advance.
Hope your weekend was good too -
