THAT WAS MY NIGHT
I went out to try and have a good time tonight. Did not succeed. I gave the old college try and was sorely disappointed
First, I went to the local street fair known as "First Friday's". It is "supposed" to be an "Art" fair. Quotes used on purpose. This shit sucked unless you were 20 something, and I mean 20, 21, 22 at the most. I have been to this event in the past years and it has been pretty cool, but this time it was a big let down. There were less artists and those that were there were extremely less talented. I am a photographer. I don't consider myself an artist but I do consider myself some one who knows and appreciates art of all genres. The only art that I saw there were actually water colors by Gordon Parks. I know he is a very high standard but I don't hold all artists up to his standard. I have bought items at this, and other, art festivals in the past but I couldn't have forced myself to do so this time if my life depended on the purchase.
Secondly, I was going to go see a concert on Fremont Street that was put on as part of the CMA (country music association awards) Awards in Vegas this weekend. Well I had read that the show was supposed to start at 10pm but low and behold it was not scheduled to start until 10:45 pm. And that was entirely too long to hang out with no entertainment and a shitload of drunk cowboys.
Third, I decided to go to a "free" comedy show at a local lounge. I had been before. Or rather I had tried to go once in the past and the 10pm show had still not started when I left at 10:45pm. This time I decided to show up late and catch the chow as it was just starting. I got there at about 10:30pm and figured it would start before 11pm. At 11:30 it finally got going. How was it you might ask. Let me just say that I don't consider myself a comedian but I had re-written 3-4 of the jokes before the "comedians had left the stage. And my covers were far better. Granted it was free so I didn't expect much but Damn!!! give me something to remember tomorrow. One good joke among 45 comedians that isn't much to ask for.
Better luck next weekend.
