Downlinke.com's One Night Stand at Great American Music Hall for MTV Logo Network

I’m super excited to announce that I am headed down to San Francisco on Thursday, April 8, 2010, to tape a live performance to apear on MTV Logo Network called Downlinke.com’s One Night Stand Up. This will be my very first American performance, and it’ll appear on television no less! The show will also feature Rebecca Donohue, Sapna Kumar, Cathy Lewis, Ali Mafi and D.J. Pierce.

It all started a few weeks back when I was surfing the internet on my computer while updating my website. I had been wanting to implement a contact me form on my website for a while to give people a way to contact me, and I was determined to finish the form before I went to bed. Thankfully I was able to finish on time and get a good night’s sleep.

The next day, I received my very first notification that someone had left me a message using my contact form. The person so happened to be Andrea Meyerson, President of All Out Films, the production company that had produced the memorable Laughing Matters documentary a few years back. I can’t believe the timing of it all; it was too good to be true. If I had waited another day to finish my contact form, who knows what would have happened or what opportunities would have passed me by.

The poster for the show is attached at the top of this post, and I’m trying my best to hold in my nervous excitement long enough to prepare for the show. I have 20 minutes on stage and haven’t decided on the material I will be performing. I’m sure I’ll include Super Power Bottoms as the central piece, but that leaves me with another 10 minutes of stage time. I have a few weeks to come up with the material, so I’m not too worried.

Another strange coincidence is that I downloaded Lonely Planet’s San Francisco Guide for my iPhone a few months back because they had a sale on it for just $1.99. I had no intention of going to San Francisco, but I thought it would be neat to check out what Lonely Planet’s applications had to offer before I bought one at full price for a city I would actually visit. Who knew that I would end up going to San Francisco a few months later.

I’ll definitely let you know how it all went, so stay tuned for updates!
