This past week has been an action packed one. I did 5 shows in 4 different states. I met a ton of interesting people. Here is the recap:
Sunday (4/12) Wesleyan University
I pull an all nighter to get on a 6:20AM flight! I hate morning flights. I hate flights in general but this one was rough. I had a layover in Minnesota and then off to Hartford Connecticut. I hate Northwest airlines. How can you be on a 4+ hour flight and there isnt a tv. The flights were very turbulent. I was sleeping and I swore we landed 3 times but it was just the turbulence. I wanted to kill the infants on the plane that were crying. It was just not good. So after feeling like utter shit, I finally get to Hartford. Good ole Patrick from Wesleyan picks me up and takes me to the campus. We have Thai for lunch and the Pad See Ew wasnt that great but at this point if it wasnt moving, id eat it.
After the lunch, we had to campus and the venue that I am performing at was quite crazy looking. It was a basement room with no chairs. I stage that looked like a 3rd grader built and the feedback from the speakers kept on destroying the sound. The walls were covered in graffiti. I was told that earlier in the year Robin Williams performed there. So i figure fuck it, if Robin did it, Imma smash this bitch too. The show went well. I would say about 50-60 people sat on the floor while I talked about anal beads and gay babies. The kids were really cool.
After the set I went to the hotel that Patrick booked me. The good ole passport inn. The area around Wesleyan is an interesting one. Lots of woods and winding roads. It felt like the Blair Witch Project. I hung out with Patrick, his gf stephanie, and matt. They were cool folks. We ate a whole lot at around 2am. The highlight of the day was the security system of my hotel room. First of all it was the first hotel I have been in where I had to use an actual key to get in. Ancient technology. But the locking system was crazy. There wasnt a dead bolt. Instead I had to rely on:
Unlocked
Locked
I felt so damn safe. I am glad I made it outta there alive. Thanks Wesleyan especially Patrick, Steph, and Matt. It was fun times.
The next morning I left for LA but just to pick up merchandise and Kwon Sang Woo and DPD. The next part of trip will come soon!
