Up To The U.P. Sunday October 5th, 2008 - Harris, MIThis was the third night in a row I performed for an audience of under 100 people and it took over 1000 miles of riding in a car to do it. I bet if I knocked on enough doors in Lake Villa where I live I could get that many people to come see me within a mile f...

A Gorgeous Gimmick Saturday October 4th, 2008 - Shelbyville, IL/Skokie, ILNo problems in Shelbyville other than a small audience and a single idiot who wouldn’t shut his mouth the whole time. Of course he was a friend of the sound guy and thought he needed to be a part of the show for some reason. I could hav... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 9:34 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Arts & Entertainment

The Dicks Mix Friday October 3rd, 2008 - Shelbyville, ILI’ve been dreading this trip for a while now but it has to be done. I’m getting as ready as I can to drive to Shelbyville, IL to do a gig in a bowling alley. I had it booked earlier but it was in the summer and nobody showed up. Not one. I rea...

Torture Trifecta Thursday October 2nd, 2008 - Lake Villa, ILTo be a baseball fan within 50 miles of where I live is no picnic right now. I am exactly halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee and everyone is on suicide watch. The Chicago Cubs stink. The Chicago White Sox suck. The Milwaukee Brewers rot. It’s al...

Fourth Quarter Fast Start Wednesday October 1st, 2008 - Lake Villa, ILPretty good effort today. I put in a solid 16 hour work day trying to figure out how to do all the things I’ve let stagnate the past few months. I knew I couldn’t do them all in a day but I did at least get started on a few of them. It felt ... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 10:46 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Arts & Entertainment

One More Quarter Tuesday September 30th, 2008 - Chicago, ILIt’s the end of the third quarter of 2008 and I have no idea if I’ve accomplished anything yet. I thought I had a plan going into the year but there have been so many distractions it’s taken me completely off track. Sports games are won ...

Fifty Stinking Bucks Tuesday September 30th, 2008 - Chicago, ILFor the first time ever both Chicago baseball teams and the Milwaukee Brewers are in a position to be in the playoffs in the same year and it’s INSANE - but in a good way. I live in the Chicago area now but grew up in Milwaukee and have been around ... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 11:23 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Sports

Survival Mode For Us All Monday September 29th, 2008 - Chicago, ILAnother Monday double dose of radio and comedy. Tim Slagle was off so Jim McHugh sat in with Jerry’s Kidders on WLS. He was thrilled to get the air time and it’s always fun to be able to throw a bone to someone who appreciates it. Jim is funny ...

I've Got Brewer Fever...Again Sunday September 28th, 2008 - Lake Villa, ILI haven’t lived in Milwaukee since the mid ‘80s when I left to chase my dream of being a standup comic. I’ve been back there countless times since and usually I couldn’t wait to leave again but today I wish I could have been ther... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 1:57 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Sports

Me On TV? Sunday September 28th, 2008 - Kenosha, WI/Lake Villa, ILBig news. I heard from the talent booker of the Craig Ferguson show and she approved my set! Now it’s down to one more hoop to jump through - picking a date that works for us both to fly to L.A. for the taping. I sent her my avails and...
