Sunday November 15th, 2009 - Orlando, FL/Milwaukee, WI Stress is part of life I can do without, but in the entertainment business it’s a constant. If it’s not worrying about a check bouncing from some slime bag club owner, it’s any one of a number of other pitfalls t...
I'm headed to Chicago for a ladies' weekend this Saturday. I would love for some suggestions for a place to eat dinner Saturday night. We are staying at the Intercontinental on N. Michigan Ave, so I am looking for something in that neighborhood. I am looking for a place to have ...
Monday October 26th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL For the first time in a long time, I had an entire Monday off. No comedy classes to teach or showcases to host at Zanies, no lunches scheduled with comedians or bookers or ladies I like, no trip into Chicago to pick up my mail. Nothing. Inste...

This past weekend marked my 8th wedding anniversary, and we thought long and hard how to celebrate. In the past we've always tried obvious romatic spots (Bermuda, Sundara Spa, etc.) however this year because of limited time to getaway, we opted for a trip to Chicago. A getaway to Chicago may be o...

Lots to talk about so here we go:The home opener... well first things first, Chicago came in and beat the Bonecrushers 64-41.
