Sok and The Faggots... (Disclaimer: Punk Band Name)

Tacoma Comedy Club in.... Oh Yeah, TACOMA! Grand opening was last night and the crowd was electrified. We were at capacity and that is pretty good for the first night. The crowd was very rowdy and I had forgotten that people from Tacoma attach a certain portion of their identity to being difficult to entertain. Well maybe it was my ignorance of this hurdle that allowed me to blow right through it but whatever the reason was, it was a great show and we covered some crazy ground!
There were two very large singles groups there... not large singles, large groups. After about thirty minutes of behavioral observation it was obvious to see why about 15% of them were still single, but to the remaining 85%... hats off to you posterchildren of freedom!

My personal favorite moment of the night was meeting and talking to Sok from the punk band "Sok and the Faggots" http://www.myspace.com/sokandthefaggots  why was I glad to meet him???... He is known for puking on the audience and that's not even his closer!!!!!

Oh by the way... He works in the kitchen... YES! THAT is "Punk Rock!"

Kent believe it's not Buttheads

Kent, WA last night. Good people. Bad moment.
Last night was no exception to the rule that "Bar gigs" are very different than "Club gigs". Something about the combination of beer sweat and neon has a chemical effect on the human mind, turning all irony and subtlty into "brain-fire". Thus rendering the person confused and ultimately angry. Bad environment for humor.
I ended up doing an hour plus but never really overcame the obligatory drunk group of 5-9 wasted people in the center of the room "helping out!" I let them take my power to some degree and for that I am sorry but I did do well anyway.
I even got my point across to the classic female Seattle area comedy goer that nodded "No" to every punchline that she laughed at. I can at least take solace in the fact that her neck was killing her this morning, probably more than the day after she watched "The Hangover". Whenever I play Seattle my main objective is to make some necks hurt!
So in the end Everyone came up after and said they loved it but I suppose Chris Brown has heard that a few times from Rhianna. Everyone was actually super nice and I want to go back again... I just remember thinking... "I Kent believe it's not Buttheads."
