Little did I expect I'd have a reason to be in this area. I passed through it more than once on my way somewhere else. This image is based off of "Deep Ellum" under License Some rights reserved by jdtornow

First of all, I want to thank everyone who went to DeepEllumOnAir to stream my show live. It was exciting to go through the motions of professionalism in an actual studio and it took that run-through to get everything down.

One thing people don't know about me is that I don't have a car. You wonder why I show up at places drenched in sweat? One of two reasons is because I'm in some sort of panic or I walked there. Such was the case when I showed up at the studio on the first day of my show.

It's like I said, "what if you have a practical super power like, being two-hours from anywhere you have to be." Because that's what that's like from me, from Irving to Dallas. From here to the curb, is two hours, right? That would be weird but then that would mean I'd be two hours away from New York or some nice place in Europe for a movie deal.

I was cutting it pretty close because I wanted to get a few cans of beer for the studio. On the way through Deep Ellum, people were surly as usual and it was a wide open space for free range hobos shaking down anyone who walked by.

When I got into the place, I knew there was little time so I tried to make sure there weren't going to be any problems with the tracks and tried to communicate the plan but I brought some things the engineer didn't expect so it was a little tense for a bit. But when the show got started, I marked my territory with a little incantation and pointed out the problems in the world with people like Anthony Davis' eyebrow and how Caitlyn Jenner is making fun of women, but deciding to shelve those things for another show, I took a call from a Denton heavy-hitter Brian Lambert of (My KickDrum Heart) where we covered his last release, upcoming performances, other releases and fracking.

Of course, I have shows coming up at the end of the week so I featured the single off of Malandro's latest release and a brand new track from Delmer Dennis, as they will both be at Bryan Street Tavern this coming Friday.

I also got a call from 214SciFi, our resident nerd and closed it out with two tracks from the bands performing on the Saturday's THE NITE SHOW w/ Zoe Dune feat. The Infamists w/ Novakain.

When the show ended, I felt I didn't have enough time to get settled in and pitched my request for eventually getting a three hour format going. To my surprise, the engineer said they have plenty of room to do it so what came out of this is that I now have a three hour show format starting next week! So this first show was a dry run. Make sure you check out that invite on Facebook, EventBrite and PreKindle to be notified when it starts.

After this, I went and wandered around Deep Ellum, talking with people and getting my drink on before heading back to the studio as I was scheduled to be a guest on Laugh On Live (LOL) another newly added show to the network.

And this is where we come back to where not having a car becomes an issue. I lingered around Deep Ellum for a bit more, got a drink at Wit's End who DOESN'T need a stand up comedian, I repeat, does NOT! Then I went to Deep Sushi as I have never been before and ordered some food, sitting at the bar alone only to get a shit eating grin from the bartender there, whenever I'd say thank you or whatever.

I had to catch the last bus to Irving which would have been the 408 so I had to take a rail line towards Parkland where I got the bus but the driver started giving me shit, telling me to hurry up because he was in a hurry. I told him to stop talking to me like I was nobody and he kept giving me more shit. I pulled out my bus passes, one of them should had still been active but was not. I decided to take my chances, called him a fucking asshole to which he said, "I don't use that kind of language." like it makes any difference at all what he thinks. I told him I would be complaining to the public transport company the next day and he just shook his head as me as I left.

Complaint number is #537258 and the bus number is 41127.

The trains run until late and I took one to University of Dallas station and took the hour and a half walk all the way home, pushing through the heat with sweat pouring off of me non-stop.
