“It was a shaving accident.”
It’s kinda surreal how worlds connect. I think I was working the door one night when Dave was headlining in a Boston club.
How long ago was that?
Not too long ago. It was def in 2010, but I dont remember if it was winter or fall that it happened.
Long time no hear Mike. You know your mother and I worry when you don’t check in…
Special time for Awkward Silence this week, 7:00 PM PST with Vegas workhorse John Bizarre!
A GREAT comedian!! Looking forward to hearing from John.
