New (to me) Club

Stopped by Bunjo's in Dublin, CA, for the first time tonight. They have a procedure for getting stage time on any given Friday Open Mic night. It requires sending a request earlier in the week, but I didn't know they were around until yesterday. There was a (slim) chance I could have gotten up there anyway (they save a limited number of slots for walk-ins), but my foot was hurting from the surgery last week and Maryann was tired, so we left before the show started. No doubt better to go on for the first time there with a tight set prepared, so I'll try for next week instead.

Met the owner, John, and a very nice Scottish woman (Julie or Julia?) to whom I told my "Glottal Stops Here" joke (from my Comedy Frustration #2 post of material too abstruse to tell to a general audience). She genuinely laughed at it (my first laugh telling it in several years, methinks) and thanked me for it when we were leaving. I told it to another comic (my age?) who was neither a Star Trek fan nor a linguist nor Scottish, but with the same horrible result I used to get. Maybe I should only tell it to Scottish people... ?

I started sniffing around the web for info on the club & its owner. He has a picture of him & his waaay cute dog on the meetup networking site. I sent him an email with links to this blog & to pix of Starbuck et al on the mycorgi.com site.
