Now I can add Blogger to my allustrious Career

Hello all,
I am new to this whole blogging thing, but in an effort to stay hip, as I hear all the kids my age are doing it. I thought I might as well join the fray. I am in Angola, Indiana right now, I know what your thinking what, did you loose a bet? No, I am performing doing a one nighter at Piggy's Sports Bar and Night Club, It is a long story, I was headlining the Borgata Hotel & Casino last week and this week I am in the fifth ring of Hell. Actually , it is not that bad. I was on the East Coast anyway, and it gave me an opportunity to stop in and see Bob & Tom my favorite morning radio program. These guy are like the tonight show of radio and not like the Jay Leno tonight show ....these guys are like doing the Johnny Carson tonight show, they are in 135 markets and have and average of 5 million listeners every day and have done more to promote and help comedians than anyone I know!! Plus my sides hurt from laughing all morning Anywho, this is my first blog tune in I will let you know how my gig in Angola Indiana goes...
