A very cool romantic picturesque town.

Show 2
Wow! Great night last night. I was worried there would be a super small turnout at our show last night, because it was the Sunday AFTER the 4th of July weekend, the night before everyone has to go back to work. Instead, it was a higher than NORMAL turn out, with lots and lots of couples that came out for the date night. The host Jason Goad was super funny and very professional (thanks to Jonas Barnes for recommending him) James Milton was also cray-cray funny, with some well deserved applause breaks. Doug and I each had solid individual sets with lots of laughter, the duo set kicked ass with lots of people afterward talking about how it was their favorite part of our show (it's mine too). The giveaways by Blue Poppy Events + Design were very popular and so awesome I tried to find a way to give them to myself. Thanks so much to Keli Budinich for putting the baskets together, giving away the most awesome & epic door giveaways to the audience as we left and basically promoting the hell out of our show. Best sponsor ever and really amped up the level of fun during the show.
There was a moment up there when I was standing to the side as Doug told a story, and watching the audience react to his joke, that was super surreal. To be able to headline a comedy club together, that Louis CK, Seinfeld, and many many more legends have performed at, was an overwhelming privilege. I think we did a really good job BUT I'm also looking forward to the next 68 or so shows, to get better each time, and grow as comedians. Now onto Spokane!!

When the volcano erupted the area we are standing in was completely devastated, no trees anywhere.
Where is pinky?

Good lighting.

Sparkly.
Watch
This is called a wrist watch. It is used for telling time just like your cell phone.
Found a use that the watch can do but the phone cannot. I can glance at it on stage and tell my set time, a phone is pretty obvious when you pull it out of your pocket and look at it.
Advice cards
Maybe we should write a book?
These are from only a few shows. We will have a good amount after the national tour.
The view
Some mountains you can see while your in Portland.
Mt. Hood.
Mt. St. Helens. Minus the top peaky part.
A panoramic. If you could see everything in this pic that you can see with your eyes. From left to right, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood, Marissa and Peter. See quite the view.
Pens
The pens we ordered with our custom printing arrived today.
We will start with 500 and see how far that gets us.
Basic, cheap and easy way for people to take a little piece of us with them.
