SALES OF "DAVID PRYDE GOOGLY" HIT DOUBLE DIGITS!

Which I guess isn't a lot, but it was only the first night, after all.

Did a show for the West Island Crusade Against Cancer last night and used it as the official launch of the cd. The show was a lot of fun and headliners Bowser and Blue were excellent as usual. It was an interesting experience whor- I mean, marketing myself during intermission, but people were very kind and supportive, and the organizers were generous and helpful giving me a place to hawk my wares. The fact that some of the proceeds went back towards the benefit made the pitch a bit easier, but it's still hard to put yourself out there when you're chronically shy (strange how spotlights, a microphone and a few hundred spectators help get me out of my shell).

Thanks to all the volunteers and top WICAC brass for an exciting, memorable evening, particularly Eric for being a liason extraordinaire! Hope you enjoyed the Carlsberg.

And thank you to the people who bought the cd for your kind words and support. Hope you enjoy the jokes (and Carlsberg, if that's your thing).

Special shout out to Ernie Butler for a great job hosting and for being my first official sale! Just one more boost from Montreal's godfather of comedy who has helped me so much over the years (and actually, "godfather" is much too sinister a title, he's really more of a pit boss, like Don Rickles in "Casino"). Thank you once again, Ernie.

Now I just have to figure out how to make an autograph that actually has MORE character than my Blockbuster membership.

Thanks again, everyone. Onward and upward!
