It's in, it's in...

Our first newspaper add hit the stands yesterday, today it can be seen on page 4A. There's the possibility of a write up about us tomorrow---but no guarantee. But there IS an ad :)

Tomorrow we pick up the candi we're giving away to EVERY person who comes to the show Saturday. This sweet creation is done by none other than Oh My Lolli so many thanks to them. But what is really cool is the logo, yes the logo...Performances @ The Well, thanks to Raquel at Oh My Lolli has it's own logo now to begin branding. It's slick and made three grown men go "Wow" almost simultaneously as the attachment opened for our review. These candi's are a collector's item and will only be available one night, the night of our anniversary this Saturday.

Met with Michelle at Gleaner's today and optimism is a good way to describe our meeting. Michelle and I have worked together for almost two years now and this is most excited we have been. Still have to finalize some details with our friends at Bufallo Wild Wings but all systems seem to be a "go".

Last night in Ann Arbor, Trevor Smith won the opportunity to advance to Atlanta next spring in the Skull Factory tour. This wasn't just a typical competition, this was a regional step within the national contest. Whether he wins or not in Atlanta is not as important as him getting there, having this on his resume and the networking/contacts he is making almost insures him of steady work in his dream field next year. Way to go Trevor, we're all very proud of you.

Until tomorrow keep your stick on the ice and stay tuned.

Runnin' behind

Here we are a week and a half away from our November show and there are many final details. Such is the norm I guess so we could say "business as usual", on the other hand...

WHMI is going to start plugging the show soon and tomorrow I meet with a representative from the "third estate", should be invigorating. Met a sketch comedy troupe today networking, we're having coffee tomorrow at Whitmore Lake Tavern---yeah I know, "tavern" but it is a family restaurant that has breakfast. Now if it was an afternoon meeting, that might be different.

On the comedy front, here is the latest on stand up Trevor Smith:

This Saturday at Lafftracks in Novi, Trevor is in the second round of competition for a prize of $1,000. This show is sold out but it is rumored they are taking names in case of cancellations---interested in trying, call 313-694-3236 for more details.

Then next Wednesday in Ann Arbor will be the regional phase of the Laughing Skull Festival where finalists will be going to Atlanta next spring. This is a huge test for Trevor that could propel his career. It is a 8pm show on the 17th and tickets can be purchased online at http://www.aacomedy.com/ or http://www.skullfestival.com/ and they are $10 each.

What for posters finally making it to the store fronts tomorrow and hopefully some paper ads by weekend. Until later, keep your stick on the ice and stay tuned.

The Aftermath

Last Saturday night proved to be a success. Jordan Jones was outstanding as our MC, he made the evening. We did have seven outstanding up and coming young comics but it is an art to MC an event correctly. You have to entertain while at the same keeping the flow of the show running. Jordan Jones, a quality stand up in his own right and a pro in working a show!

Many thanks Jordan from Lamocu Productions and the Pinckney HS Football program.

Until next time...stay tuned!
