Stand up/Man show


So I wanted to do a real quick recap of my weekend, thus far. Saturday, I went to a comedy night at the local Elks club. It was to support rebuilding Duchess County. For being one of very few young people in the room, I thought it went very well. The initial comic was hit or miss, but the latter was very funny. I believe their names were Judy Ciancitto and Michele Balan. I had a good night and met some nice people. It was slightly awkward being a youngster, but I got over it and had a good time. I thought the ticket price was a little steep for an event that lasted only 2 hours, but it was for charity.

Today I went to an event called the Man Show in the Civic Center. It was unrelated to the TV show. It had a bunch of vendors and events all catered to men. I thought it was a nice event, although they should have advertised that parking would not be free, unlike other events. Food and beer were extremely high, but there was good music and some cool prizes. I played poker for a little while with the free credits they give you for attending. I didn't last long considering some of the others were pros and others had huge piles of chips. They just bullied me out of chips. Oh well, a good time for a mostly free event.
