The Chip Chantry One Man Show (With Special Guests!)

chip.jpg
Longtime JGT advisor and cohort Chip Chantry (above, right) has decided to take matters into his own hands…by hosting a one man show! That’s right, no more worrying about what performers are available, who’s going to show up, paying everyone a cut of the door, etc. Nope, this is just going to be Chip and Chip alone, the solo star of his one man show. But in a break from most one man shows, Chip will also be inviting some special guests. For the first show, he’ll have David James, named Philly’ Phunniest at Helium in 2006, Kent Haines, named Philly’s Phunniest in 2008, Comics vs. Audience scribe Dave Walk, sketch group Secret Pants, and me, Johnny Goodtimes. It’s going down at the Khyber on Monday, January 12th, at 8:30 p.m. That’s right, this is your chance to see Chip and Chip only!* This is a one man show you’ll never forget!

Back in Action

It’s back on like the break of dawn. Tonight, we kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m., followed by the Bards at 10 p.m. And don’t be a sissy about the weather, either. Seriously. Also, an interesting find today: looks like the Philly mint is putting out crappy coinage, while the Denver mint is dropping a high quality product. I expect we’ll hear from the Geeks who Drink Crowd about this feather in their cap. And click here to find out why I think the Eagles will win the Super Bowl. See ya tonight!

Baseball is Evil and I Hope Bud Selig Gets Hit By a Bus

JC Romero is getting absolutely screwed by Major League Baseball. I mean, screwed like few athletes have ever been. After taking a supplement he got over the counter from Vitamin Shoppe, he tested positive for steroids, though even MLB acknowledges that he didn’t use them. But with a reactionary zeal that make the Salem Witch Trials look fair and balanced, MLB has decided to suspend him for 50 days. Baseball offered him the opportunity to only serve 25 games if he admitted guilt, but he didn’t because he didnt’ do anything wrong. Way to go baseball. Way to teach kids that if they don’t cow down to authority their punishment will be doubled, even if they don’t do anything wrong. This is so unbelievablty stupid it defies belief. Could you imagine how great baseball would be if it were run by people with an IQ over 30? If you’re interested, you can call the commissioner’s office at 212 931-7800.

Back to Reality


The egg nog has all been drunk (drank?) and the tree has been put back in the attic. It’s on to the gym, and time to break out the juicer. It’s back to reality, and the reality of 2009 isn’t all that bad. We’ve got a lot getting ready to go down. I am looking at a venue today for Quizzo Bowl V, and am very hopeful we’re going to have a deal in place this week. I’m looking at February 21st as a possible date. I have to determine if that gives me enough time to make this a go. Also, we have Super Bowling going down on January 24th, a big bowling blowout bash going down in South Philly. More details forthcoming. I will also begin working on 2008 the year in review. Yeah, I know I shoulda done that a week ago. Whatever. Anyways, in the meantime here’s 2007 in review.

Resolutions

Made a few resolutions for 2009:

  • Become a master of the Juiceman Juicer (got one for Christmas and made my first OJ this morning. Delicious…and nutricious.)
  • Read 8 Weeks to Optimum Health and follow it’s suggestions.
  • Record three more songs so I can release an EP. (I did a new song over Christmas break and it is hot. I’ll release it as soon as the girl with the great voice lays down her vocals in the chorus.)
  • Solve more mysteries.
  • Quit Sweating the small stuff.
  • Get my finances in order.
  • Want to restart the Classic Movie Project.

Ok, there you have it. What are your Resolutions?
