Boston Comedy Open Mic'er Car Pool? Anyone?

I've been keeping a list of boston area open mics, etc. (let me know if you want to check it out, not like it's secret knowledge or anything) and have heard about a lot of stuff outside of the city that I would like to check out.

Of course, like a few other comics in the city, I don't have a car.

So I'm just putting this out there for anyone who may be interested in venturing outside the city sometime to start a car pool with a couple other comics. We'll all split the gas money and get to check out some new crowds and areas.

Anyone interested? hit me up! I have a list of potential places I'm working through now.

Live in Springfield

Me and Scott Oddo got on the pike last night to audition for a couple western mass comedy shows.

we didn't win, but thats OK. we won at Tavern at the End of the World late night.

MattKona.com is up!

check it out, it will bring you right back to this page!
that's right, no more having to type ".blogspot" between mattkona and com
that frees up so much time!

now i have to get together any other content to justify the money i spent on it.
i got coupon codes but i couldn't find out where to put them in. so the joke is on me.

i'm just about out of pins (somehow) i'll get more soon.
also i'm having stickers made.

so thats 3 more reasons i hate money, right there.

OK here's something that doesn't cost money.

Porter Square Wednesday Morning.

this just happened to me today, so i gotta get it out there while it's still fresh in my head. I can't make this shit up.

i did standup last night at the middle east, it was fun. this morning I was getting ready to cross the street at Porter Sq going to get a coffee and I hear a voice from my left and the guy asks "Hey weren't you at the middle east last night?" I said yeah. He showed me his Middle East shirt, he told me he works there and was doing the door for downstairs. I asked him if he heard any of the comics. He said "Yeah, some of them were funny. Some of them weren't. One guy made a joke about jerking off to Brittany Murphy. That was hilarious. And I didn't know that so I went home and looked it up." I was like "That was me!" and he was psyched. I noticed while we were talking that the WALK sign was on but he wasn't crossing the street, I thought maybe because we were standing there talking. Then I didn't have to wonder anymore because he says "I'm waiting for a cop." He shows me his left wrist which was a pair of handcuffs on the one wrist. "My crazy girlfriend locked me up last night and left me there. I picked one of the cuffs with a pin, but I was picking the second one and the pin broke. I didn't want to have one cuff hanging from my wrist so I cuffed it on the same one. So now I'm waiting for a cop so i can explain this to them and ask to unlock me. I've been waiting for 45 minutes" I then introduced myself formally, shook his hand, and went to get that coffee.

NON UPDATE

hi, if I met you on the recent MATT KONA: KONAFIDE European Tour (featuring Social Circkle)
When I got home the tape of "Live At Leeds" (which MAY include Live In London, either parts 1 or 2) seems kind of busted.
I'm waiting for my generous engineer (the man responsible for bringing my voice from tape to mp3 to your ears) to return home and then we'll see if it's salvageable.

Uh, yeah. What else is in the news? I now have DOUBLE the amount of unsatisfactory youtube video clips up, this one is the tail end of my "singing and dancing tour de force" in Prague, Czech Republic. We were wandering the streets, being greeted by various friendly gentlemen trying to get us to come into their strip clubs (with names such as "Hot Pepper") and we found a man walking amongst his friends a few feet (sorry METERS) in front of us with an acoustic guitar and he started playing "Wonder Wall" so we all joined in on singing, startling the man, who then breathed a sigh of confused relief and kept playing.

For some reason I thought it would be fun to do a weird "jig" next to him. At one point I take off to find a wall so I can better act out song lyrics. That didn't work out so well, though.

Anyhow here is the footage after most of the funny parts. (thats me on the left)
