The A1chemy Index Vol. 5: Dan should not have the ability to change this thread title • Page 407

Helll

 

ooooo

 

When that happens they say that they'll give those people the best slots the next week but I can't always show up every week (which is another thing you're supposed to do in standup haha) so it just doesn't work for me. The lack of punctuality in comedy drives me insane hahaha especially as an early person who shows up to sign up first at 5pm promptly and hangs out in town until sets start at 7 or 8.

 

No one is worth all of that it’s taken me years to curate that folder

But I know you’re lying you fuck I’m coming to find you and let’s just say that once I’m done with you the word “horses” will have a whole new meaning

 

those parking prices are br00tal

 

@Rob Hughes have u seen the new Operators coming to Siege they look cool as shit

 

Yeah Jacksonville is the other way around. People are 2 hours late to EVERY show. It’s to the point where it’s legitimately “expected” for the promoter to say the show is at 8 but not start it till 9:15

So the people that did come early end up leaving, most the crowd STILL misses the opening act who basically plays to themselves and the other bands, and then the last band doesn’t go on until fuckin 1:15 when everyone leaves to go take advantage of last call. It’s the absolute worst and least efficient thing ever.

People here think it’s normal but it’s not. Shows almost always start on time when I go out of town.

 

Yeah our music sets are relatively punctual especially for local shows, if there's ever a delay it's usually for a damn good reason

Now bands are late here ALL THE TIME but the show still usually starts on time hahaha

But I'd rather do a career in music than comedy any day despite how much worse of an industry it is for making a career

 

You motherfucker.

 

yeah, i'm pretty excited for them even though Nokk's weapons are really underwhelming

 

I think in order to do local open mic comedy I'd have to do shitty boomer jokes about PC culture and avocado toast which is like the opposite of the vibe I'd be going for

 

Honestly in NY open mic comedy you could probably make jokes about anything you want and at least get to continue having fun with it (unless it's changed since I've watched comedy there)

 

So the dress code for the wedding I went to was 'cocktail attire', this dude I know showed up in a fucking blue and black flannel!!!! It blew my fucking mind. His girlfriend wore one of those like t-shirt but long enough so its a dress combos. WTF

 

it was in Florida Dan, but also that's very disrepectful

 

I would imagine Ian means Long Island as opposed to NYC

 

this is probably @K0ta's doing and I'm not mad

 

Nashville. $8-$14 per hour parking costs EVERYWHERE.

There is NO free street parking in downtown Nash either, trust me on that.

After circling the business district for half an hour, I finally street parked where 6 other people were parked, there was no “no parking sign” on that block, the NEXT block had a “no parking” sign but it was next to a loading dock so you’d naturally think “oh just don’t block the loading dock.” There was also cars parked across the street.

All 6 of us, and 4 other people that day, got towed at that spot. Obviously I wasn’t the only one fooled. If I wasn’t just on tour I would’ve challenged that shit in court because of the nonexistent “no parking” sign.

Instead I had literally $60 bucks and a dead phone and had to deal with an unfairly towed car. I had to:

-call the police using a landline phone in the store where I was parked
-call the tow yard and ask for directions
-walk 2.5 Miles outside the city there, asking random people to map it for me so I could be sure I was going the right way
-sit at the tow yard basically begging them to call their owner, who had already left that day, so I wouldn’t be stranded overnight
-negotiate with a pissed off owner who hates being called after he leaves Work
-pick up trash at the tow yard for 3 hours to make up for the money I didn’t have
-still had to give them my last $60

 

Yeah but i'd say everyone that I knew there, about 25 people, none of them are FROM florida

 

both these scenarios are driving my prompt ass crazy haha, like maybe a handful of times I've been confused about when doors are and when the show starts so I had to wait around for an hour but that's rare

 

Sometimes I intentionally try to be late for a show and I still accidentally end up early haha

 

yeah, I feel like NYC is half alt comedy and half traditional comedy places that are old school and lame haha

 

same

 

If somebody invites me to their wedding don't expect me to follow any dress codes.

 

holy shit that's rough

 

I don’t mind them reusing weapons per se I mean there’s only so many weapons that exist that make sense but even for these Ops these weapons are just bizarre. Why Nokk, a member of the Jagercorp, is using an F-9 smg is so bizarre
