Well the holidays were fun. My sons and I met up with family and stayed at a nice resort out in BC. The weather was perfect!
I think I've started a band as my boys now have guitars to add to their budding music careers. They were already playing saxophone (tenor and baratone) and now are plucking away on their new Fenders. It is nice to have kids that are not addicted to video games, crack and all the other life wasters out there. Yes, I am a proud dad.
Tonight we say goodbye to 2006. What a year it’s been! I have made so many great new business contacts and there are some amazing things coming in ’07. Or is that ‘007? Yes, this year is licensed to kill! Kill the status quo of what has been a stagnant sector of entertainment for too long.
We have seen some tremendous growth in the comedy community. There are great new acts, new TV and radio shows, new rooms to play, new shows produced, a more open market and new comedy clubs. Venues are popping up across the country as comedy makes its rebirth. A rebirth that is stronger than the old boom of the 80’s when far too many were pushed to headline status before they were ready.
The freedom comics have to express themselves today and promote their careers is endless. Technology and the Internet make it easier for all acts to be noticed and remembered. Remembered for who they are and not just a face to some generic show under a company banner. I have more people saying my name than ever before and I am not alone on this There is a lot less of “Hey the last guy was funny…what was his name?” I have seen many comedy peers finally get the recognition they deserve. Thank you Youtube.com, Myspace.com Comedy Now and of course the ease of having a web site where everyone can find out more about you.
It is customary to make resolutions so here are mine for 2007.
I resolve to start smoking then quit the next day. Just to show all those tar-breathed idiots that it is possible. LOL
Actually my resolutions are for me and not for this blog. My close friends know what I plan on doing. The others will have to watch and see.
Best to all in ‘007
It will be one to remember.
Cheers
