The Am-I-A-Shill-For-The-dccomedyfest-Department?

Well, yes.

As the festival hits next weekend, here’s some cool stuff to keep in mind in between grumbling about the lack of stage time or how come the stand-ups are getting short-shrift. After every night of the fest, there’s a party for both pass holders and performers at Bar Rouge located at 1315 16th Street NW, in DC. Sure, it’s a few blocks away from two of the venues (it’s only two blocks away from HR-57, however). But in between shows over on 7th street you can pop into the back bar of RFD to get your drink on. That Blaire Postman. She thinks of everything.

The Just-What-The-Title-Says Department

This will be my second to last column for Big Head DC. Next week I’ll sign off for good. Why? Well, personal reasons, to be sure. Ironically enough, one of my favorite blog columnists, Margot over at The Apiary who pens the “From Behind the Bar at UCB” column, is calling it quits this week as well. Her reasons? Her day job is catching up to her night job. “As I embraced my day job (or night job in this case) and began writing about it, all these wonderful things started happening in my ‘real’ career.”

I’m having similar concerns. Or at least, I want my ‘real” career to replace my ‘night job.’ If that makes any sense. So I’m going to try to make it so. And as we all know, in this business that takes a lot of work.

So next week will be my final “SetList” column.

That Margot’s hot, isn’t she?
