    First world problem for today: My Roku keeps freezing.

    Moving on…..

    We made it out last Saturday night and caught one of my favorite comics – Jake Johannsen. I don’t remember how I saw one of his first specials, since it would have been HBO and I’m pretty positive that I’ve never ever had HBO. Based on the timeframe, this was definitely pre-internet, but miraculously (of course) it’s a free-for-all on YouTube.

    Of course, I was quickly reminded that my laugh gets louder and louder. It happens, the more I drink especially, I get loud. LOUD. Apparently it’s charming in a certain way; I was told that the performer onstage generally focuses on the “loud laughter” since it’s obvious that the loud guy is enjoying himself.

    Fortunately, it was kind of a last minute thing. The other weird thing about the internet and comics is you can accidentally see entire routines online before you end up seeing them in person.

    Either way, Jake puts on a great show. Check him at JakeThis.com
