I had the opportunity to open a comedy night at Cosmos Bar and Grill last night, which made me nervous because a: Cosmos has no "web presence", which means that it does not really exist in my universe, and b: When I cruised it earlier in the day, there were silhouettes of people playing various sports on the window. I do not historically get along with two-dimensional sport fanatics. However, the crowd was very friendly (read: drunk) and I had a great time opening for Lonnie Bruhn, Keith Wallan, and Troy Thirdgill, with emcee Gabe Dinger. I think I killed, or at the very least, I seriously maimed. I was happy with it, you can judge for yourself here. Oh, and if you are one of the half-dozen family members and friends that I made fun of, you should know that I didn't mean it. I love you.

How to Rule The Cosmos

Blade Runner Is Now!
I was watching Blade Runner for the jillionth time today, and was surprised to note that the film is set in 2019, so we're almost there (although the novel was set 27 years earlier). Like in all great sci-fi, a lot of the weird futur-ey stuff from the film is now commonplace. Like the big ad screens, although they are less likely to show demure Geishas eating small treats and are more likely to let you know that you can see a BOAT SHOW or a GOAT SHOW or BUY A GOAT WITH NO MONEY DOWN or somesuch-I can't pay attention or I will drive the Volvo into a wall. So, giant ad screens: check.
Mechanical Animals:
Check!
Strippers:
Check! Incidentally, do you think I'd be working in a place like this if I could afford a real snake?
Traffic:
I live in Portland, so...Check!
Genetic modification, cloning, and sexy androids:
Check!
Nutsy Space Travelers:
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Bitch, you better stay the hell away from my man or I swear to Jesus I will strap on some Huggies and drive all night to stab you with knives! I'll show you why he loves me!

Traffic:
Pollution so pervasive it creates a canopy, and it rains all the time:

Spinners, or any sort of hover-car:
MINUS! And we've only got 12 years left! Get up on it, science! We need to hover!
