Another poke in the rear toward creating our own venue.Elizabeth McQuernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758117792901579774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657434.post-60482251289055261662007-06-25T15:14:00.000-05:002007-06-25T15:14:00.000-05:00Also, that house was fucking STOIC.

I mean come on, what's not funny about prescription headwear?Dan Telferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771185896446610763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657434.post-31416233278891805202007-06-25T15:10:00.000-05:002007-06-25T15:10:00.000-05:00Timothy - absolutely.

I'm so new to stand-up, I haven't even begun to establish a baseline that would let an audience know what to expect of me. <BR/><BR/>I was thinking about this recently while watching Kathy Griffin do her thing - she's so well-known people come to her shows knowing what to expect, and hoping to hear certain things.Elizabeth McQuernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758117792901579774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657434.post-34223724973110916002007-06-25T15:04:00.000-05:002007-06-25T15:04:00.000-05:00Elizabeth:That's a good point you make.

I think about that a lot when I'm writing my books, thinking about which one would be best to follow the one that's out there. I've just sent a controversial book off to my agent, which you can read about on my blog. I wouldn't have felt comfortable putting that one out straight after my first book, unless I had something in-between them to prepare my audience somehow. That's why I'm glad Epoch is in stores now - it's got just enough controversy in it to prepare readers for the next one.Timothy Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982874914735092331noreply@blogger.com
