Celebrity Sighting # I'm Paying Atttention

Though I knew for a little while that Alonzo Boden was playing at Tommy T's this weekend, I made the spontaneous decision to see him perform on Thursday night. I've only heard him interviewed and that he won Last Comic Standing the year they didn't air the finale, but man I was not disappointed. This guy freaking rules and I encourage everyone to see him. We got a picture with him after the show and I tried to over pay him for a CD. He would not accept but said give the change to a homeless guy. Now I worry that I insulted him, but I just want to give my support to good entertainment and $15 a ticket was not enough. So go to Hulu and watch his special. The view are good for him, right? I don't know how entertainers make money anymore.

Tears of a Clown

Of course I was devastated by the news that Robin Williams died. I am reliving it as podcasts that were taped when the news broke are now being released. I don't want to get into it because, as is life, we move on and new things happen. I remember when I was in high school and sitting on the phone as my best friend cried over the death of Chris Farley. I just went to her daughter's third birthday party. Make note that while many people can have kids in high school and that could just be a whopping four years ago, that was, in fact, back in 1997.

Fortunately for me, I live in northern California and get to mourn the loss of many bottle of wine as the earth shook the Napa Valley. I got to wake up to at least of ten seconds of "what the hell?" And then, since no major damage was done, I moved on and had to be reminded at work there was a damn earthquake just yesterday morning. So this month will see an increase of  sales of everything Robin William related and if people are feeling silly, a jump in YouTube views of this.

 

I'm pretty sure she wasn't singing about plate tectonics.
