Just a real quick post (as if) to bring things up to date... tonight at 8:30 (ish) is the May 2012 edition of Godfrey's Reality Check at Ray's Hearth, 4701 Geary Blvd. (at 11th Avenue) in the lovely InRich section of San Francisco! So of course I should be memorizing my set (which incredibly I actuall finished writing Thursday night!) but instead I am eating an awesome vegan Chinese takeout lunch and BLOGGING!
Aside from finally kicking my comedy career in the ass, the big news is that I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! Not just any boyfriend, the world's most wonderful boyfriend (no, really!). His name is Scott; stay tuned to this blog and my standup clips to learn more about the wonders of a woman who's facing her 60s finding love with a 40-year-old man :-)
A Facebook friend recently asked why I haven't been posting my standup on YouTube lately. The answer is that I've posted regularly but have been posting the clips as "Private" i.e. not publicly searchable. So for you, the fans/friends hard-core enough to actually view my blog, here are links to my January and March 2012 performances at the Reality Check (I missed February and April), as well as my performance at the Walk the Plank semifinals in November of 2011:

JUST FOR YOU, the fans... Also coming very soon, my new website, http://www.suzyvincent.com/, will go live with the latest updates on my wacky life and comedy shenanigans. I'll post here and on Facebook when the site goes live, so stay tuned!

Downtime
The past 10 days have been slow comedy-wise, as I've been taking a bit of a break... dealing with a heavy work schedule (damn job, gettin' in the way again!), trying to write (and rewrite and rewrite) in anticipation of the upcoming Walk the Plank competition at Castagnola's Wharf Room. So I've been a bit lax in posting recent videos to YouTube, but as of tonight everything's up there for your viewing pleasure. Here's the link to my recent favorite, which of course is the September Gong Show at the much-loved Ray's Hearth in the InRich:

Those of you in the Bay Area who haven't yet experienced The Gong Show at Ray's Hearth, really must do so! Next Gong is Saturday, October 8, 2011, just 2 days after my birthday debut at the Wharf Room on October 6th (please come out and show your love!). Both shows start at 8 p.m.; I think the Wharf Room is $5 but the Gong Show as always is FREE!
That's all for now. Peace, love & laughs!

Exciting stuff!!
WOW guys, life at the speed of Suzy is going full-tilt boogie lately! Really good gigs this past week at The Brainwash in SOMA and Guayaki in Sebastopol, and tonight is the 9th Gong Show at Ray's Hearth! Ray's is where I got my start here in SF so I have a special place in my heart for that venue, and their Gong Show is nothing but hilarious hijinks and fun. It's the second Saturday of each month, so if you can't make it tonight, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 8, 2011. And yes, barring a role in a network sitcom, I'll be there!
Other exciting stuff: Thanks to the wealth of open mic appearances lately and my new Sony Bloggie mini-camcorder, I now have my own YouTube channel (ain't technology great?!). Here's the YouTube link to my August 13, 2011 Gong Show appearance...

Go check it out! If the link doesn't work for some reason, just go to YouTube and search for my channel, "siouxzy13"... lots to see there, and you can even subscribe if you want :-)
Okay people, got a show, gotta go. catch you later... and as always, thanks for the laughs!

Update
Okay, I'm reviving this formerly lame blog as a new and improved what's-up-with-Suzy-the-standup-comic blog. In my usual style, it's now nearly bedtime on Sunday night so I barely have time for a howdy-do, here's my new blog, but I did get to upload an appropriate pic of me as the June 2011 Winner of the Golden Trophy award at The Gong Show at Ray's Hearth in the InRich area of San Francisco (Inner Richmond, to the uninitiated).
In addition to Ray's Gong Show, I've done a few open mikes at The Brainwash and will be doing one this Tuesday, August 16th at The Rockit Room on Clement Street. Look for more new and exciting blog content including links to my videos and all that new-fangled techy stuff.

The grass is much greener and wayyyy too high!
Okay so welcome to my blog and my life (sure, go ahead and buckle your seat belt)...
Another exciting Saturday filled with perfecting the art of procrastination, as evidenced by the fact that it's 1:30 p.m. and I've spent about the past hour creating a blog rather than paying bills, cleaning my house, or tackling my own personal "green monster", aka the overgrown lawn!
My wonderful 8-1/2 relationship to a great man (and computer technician, and lawn care specialist) ended in October of 2008, leaving me to fend for myself. And while I do fairly well with the computer equipment (though my printer drivers seem to be in a coma at the moment), I'm currently daunted by a lawn mower which refuses to awaken from its winter slumber. I'll spare you the details, mostly because recounting them would piss me off all over again. But it's not that old a mower, and yes, I do know how to work it. And for those who haven't known me all my life, I even have auto mechanics training so I'm not entirely ignorant of such matters. The fuckin' thing just doesn't want to start ... or at least, it didn't last Saturday after spending over an hour fiddling and topping off fluids and praying/swearing/sweet-talkin' to it and yanking that damned starter cable so many times that my arm nearly tore off at the shoulder.
So now it's THIS Saturday, and armed with a new spark plug (as recommended by a lovely, helpful gentleman behind me in line at the totally useless Sears Parts & Repair shop), I should be out there trying again with renewed sparkability to fire up the mower. But it's cloudy and might rain (again), and my late breakfast of oatmeal with raisins and green tea with lemon somehow glued my ass to the computer chair yet again. Which of course is where I should be paying bills, but starting a blog sounded like a whole lot more fun!
Ohhhh.... hang on, my ex Jeff is on IM.... brb
OKAY, I got some advice and the appropriate amount of sympathy from Jeff... he believes a new spark plug is the key, which makes me hopeful that I won't have to dowse the mower with gas and torch it in anger... tomorrow, that is, because right before IMing with Jeff, my new/old buddy Sherie (HS friend who recently re-emerged less than 5 miles from where I live, via Facebook) telephoned with an eerily similar lack of Saturday motivation (beating me slightly by still being in her PJs) and proposed a late lunch/early dinner at the pub where her daughter works. Of course I jumped at the invitation, mostly because Sherie's a lot of fun and an interesting, similarly single lady of my age group whose company I enjoy, but partly because doing so heightens the procrastinative nature of my total Saturday activities (or counter-activities?).
Anyway, it's great to have a girlfriend your own age in the same non-marital boat with whom you can hang. It's way more likely that she or I will meet a guy if we actually venture outside of our HOMES... not extremely likely, but since not leaving home carries NO likelihood of meeting a guy well... you get the idea :-) And hell, we probably won't meet a soul, but we sure will talk and laugh and eat and drink and commiserate and enjoy. Beats the hell out of chores!
Okay, so I photographed the overgrown lawn with my cell phone and emailed it to what's supposed to be my direct blog post address... I leave you now to sift through the tabs and settings and options to see if that photo is anywhere to be found.
Live large, people!
