The Geegsters got their first-ever heckle tonight. I'm impressed that we've gone so many years without some boozed-up show-off telling us mid-show that we suck, but tonight we did some Barprov and the audience was mostly apathetic, save for one saggy middle-aged twat with exposed leathery tits who responded to our request to shout out "something that annoys you" with "YOU!" Meaning that we, GGG, were annoying her, a saggy drunk killjoy bitch with a big mouth. After her brusque display of shitty manners, I saw her turn to her equally saggy friend and smile at her as if to say, "aren't I funny and cool?" No, you're not. (Note to 40+ Mo: even if your life is rife with rejections and disappointments, don't disrepect the entertainment, no matter how much cooler than you they are!) The sound was bad and there was competing music coming out of the speakers. We were abruptly shooed from the stage when our time was up.
I like to think that our special brand of Geegster sunshine touched the heart of at least a few of those nice folks out there supporting a local tradition. I saw Refrigerator Jeff out in the crowd rocking and grooving to our songs, and Improv Jeff recorded our set on his Macbook. So guys named Jeff were out in full force showing us the love.
I am very happy to say that after seven years as an Austinite, I finally located the finest fish taco in town and that is at Polvos. Why I've never ordered the fish taco there before I cannot say, but the blend of white fish, butter, and strips of hot green peppers really made for a pleasurable taco experience that, outside of SD, has proved to be the most superior fish taco in A-town. Viva.
Tomorrow I am having lunch with the recently returned Joolz and finishing up the remaining eight boxes of Brit Lit Twit Shit I've got left at Harry's. And then it's back to Orson and Olivia, kicking my ass and making me feel like shit. (but how much do I love Zaven, my most challenging creation? so much, dude.)
SHOUTOUT TO ANDREAY85. I've got your boobs, lady. Thanks for reading this.
BOOBS!

We got heckled by a drunky at the Carousel once. After the show was over I walked up to him to enthusiastically thank him with a bear hug that ended with me lifting him off the floor. I was trying really hard to break a rib. No such luck.
"Saggy, middle-aged twat" is my new favorite and least-favorite phrase.
