Hey so just to be a butt face, I added you cause you said for the kids under 18 at the show not to. and I'm not going to miss spell anything in the comment I send to you telling you how awesome I thought your show was.
Sure it was the only comedy show I'd been to in a little club like that, but you kick ass!
hari! what the hell are you doing in seattle when I'm no where near there?? I'm in South America right now, spending my days feeding pigs and chickens. I miss you! I hope I will see you some day soon, my friend.
Oh I feel the same great to see you, I hope I get a chance to hang out again before you go to NY. Good to see you my man. Once you're out there I'll have to come out and visit.
