Home for the Holidays
With Christmas fast approaching, so is the time for my bi-yearly trek home to Boston to visit.
I love going home and being in New England at this time of year, but man is it freakin' cold. My poor blood has thinned to Californian levels and I'm looking at freezing my bejingles off (I'm not quite sure where, on the human form, the bejingle is located but I do bet it can fall off when temperatures get lower than 30 degrees. Seriously. It's a fact. I read it...somewhere.)
I also have a show booked at The Comedy Studio in Harvard Square on Thursday 12/22 so come on by if you're in the area. It's one of my old stomping grounds and I haven't performed there in quite awhile so it should be a good time.
Here are some things I look forward to when I go back to Beantown:
** Anna's Tacqueria - Simply the best burritos I've ever had. And believe me, I've searched far and wide all over Southern California and for some strange reason, nothing I've had can top this little place in Porter Sq. They steam the tortillas and use this fresh salsa...they may even dip the rice in crack, I have no idea. It's just really good! I also have a theory that maybe they aren't "that" good, but it's what I'm used to and I never actually had a "good" burrito. On that I call blasphemy! I'll take a Super Chicken Burrito with jalapenos and black beans please!
** Stand-up Comedy - I don't really enjoy doing standup out here in CA that much. The audiences are sparse and you usually have to deal with all manner of self delusional "producers" of the shows telling you to "bring" 4-5 people or you're not getting stage time. Whatever. There are outside one nighters around LA that I love doing and I stick to those. But the comedy scene in Boston is just really solid. There's a scene there, a fraternity. And I do miss that a lot.
** And finally, my family and friends. I think that goes without saying.
Happy Holidays everyone!
