John K at the M
My good friend John Keating did some stand-up at the M bar on the 17th and I was there to witness it. Never been to the dimly-lit, velvet-covered M bar before, but it was a pretty cool venue. I'd go back for some jazz or martini-drinking music, definitely. Plus, it's a convenient stop for me as it's in Hollywood, right on Fountain and Vine. I've seen John perform his routine once before in San Diego, and he was great both times. Really controlled the packed audience with lots of observances and laugh-out-loud humor. My favorite jokes involve his love life and family, like the time his deaf girlfriend broke up with him using a TTY machine or when he was labeled as gay by his grandfather after moving to West Hollywood (go to his show to find out the link between homosexuality and light beer). Unfortunately, he might have been too good this night as the comedian before and the one after him - especially the one after him - totally bombed. If you see John's name on a marquee somewhere, definitely drop in. I mean, he's a Boston native, so doesn't that mean, like, he has to be funny?Actually, the comedy was a great start to a crazy night that progressed with a trip to Barney's on Sunset with classmates Mikaela and Laura, and ended with me cleaning up my roommate's vomit in the restroom at IHOP at 3 in the morning. Nice.

Thanks for the kind words Jeff, but I would like to take this moment to state to your readership that I don't usually look as psychotic as that picture indicates.
And I can't believe I missed drunkenness, vomit AND IHOP!
