33 ye...Here is what one man said from El Paso, TX:<br /><br /><i>33 years ago I was one of a group who were very funny. Many toughed it out, some prospered, some have worked their lives away in lousy clubs, and some of us did not. I have a house I bought with cash, I have an IRA, health care, and am begining my 3rd. career in the academic arena. Did I make the right choice by playing it safer? Well I have not shoplifted in 33 years, I've not gotten a STD, and I am sober. This worked for me, and I am still very funny.<br />My only wish for Jesse is that he finds his way to the mediation of self. Do the thing without becoming the thing.<br />Performance is a slippery slope, and life is short.<br />paz y luz mi hermano!</i><br /><br />Bitter, bitter herbs.<br /><br />I want to see Jesse live again! (Live as in /eye/, not live as in /give/, like the man died. Some of the good ones are still kicking. Also, for the record, and I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but Vince Averill is FIRE.Abbi Crutchfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984255030758291096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938448068751972875.post-85791971669931074522009-06-20T16:46:13.576-04:002009-06-20T16:46:13.576-04:00Loving the New York comedy scene right now.Loving the New York comedy scene right now.get in herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552027798702672771noreply@blogger.com
