Robbie,

Whatchya got for the Seattle area?

I saw a few of those gigs up in Fairbanks...WOW! Did you play the Refinery Lounge ever or one of those places in Delta? (That's more of a wow in the sense of "could people be more retarded, I'm surprise they comprehend poly-syllabel words" sorta way. Kinda like performing before a bunch of drunk, armed and toothless special ed dropouts.)

And as always, your insite is much appreciated!

Robbie,
Thanks for the info Robbie. Do you have any USO or Comics on Duty info?

[Robbie]

That Old Hippie Chick,
Thanks for the site info, unfortunately most of their info one Chucklemonkey is very vauge. The contact info for the mainsteam comedy clubs don't have the talent booker's info. Just the the club owner as the contact. The laugh factory, Comedy Store, Improv, Carolines and others; all have in-house bookers. Also the for the festivals is vague and general as well. Same run around, there are these supposed resourse baised websites for comics that are so gerneral and basic the average open miker can call a club and get booked thur the owner. There info needs to be updated. I'm not trying to bust your balls or anything. It's just thats how comics get work from OTHER COMICS, with word of mouth and good recemendation....! Basic and general websites to me are bullshit. Sorry.
