This afternoon I went to the taping of "Excused", a new show starting this fall on CBS. I believe it is going to be something similar to the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Another reality dating show..... just what we need.
What I had to do was walk up to the door of the house and tell the girls why they should let me in. Unfortunately, I knew I was going to be "excused" and not allowed in.
I then went to The Hollywood Improv for their open mic. They picked 16 performers out of the over 75 people who showed up. Luckily, I was chosen my first time there. Yippie!!! I spoke to some of the other comedians and some had been there up to 8 times without ever being chosen!
It was a great set so hopefully someone important was in the audience and I get a gig out of it.
Fingers crossed!

Geyser on Sierra Bonita Ave.
I got in last night after going to a comedy show, laid down to watch some re-runs of The Golden Girls and was on the edge of falling asleep. All of a sudden I heard a weird noise outside my window. I had no idea what it was but thought it would only last a short time so I didn't get up to see what it was.
Finally, after 5 minutes I got up and peeked my head over the balcony. There were dozens of people out on the sidewalk, water all over the place and then I saw a geyser blowing water into the air. And then when I looked a little close, I noticed a car in the bushes and on the sidewalk.
Some kid who looked 25, had driven his brand new Mercedes knocking the fire hydrant over and landing on the sidewalk. The car was completely jacked up but hopefully Mom & Dad will get him a new one.
Geyser blew for about 30 minutes. Guys were running into the water as if they were at Water Works in Seaside, NJ. (Do my Jersey shore people remember Water Works?)
Here are 2 pictures. After they turned the hydrant off, you can see the car on the sidewalk.
And then they finally got it turned off.

First Open Mic
Tonight I'm going to my first open mic at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It is a lottery system, so everyone puts their name in and 10 people are chosen to perform their 5 minutes of schtick.
Fingers crossed!
Here is another little bit from my first performance for my blog followers!
