JayceLand's Weekly Rochester Events #115. Charlotte News: Seattle Wired

I don't have anything really interesting to say this week. I've got you all built up and stuff to expect some wildly entertaining monolog but not this time. No sir-ee.

Ok, except maybe for boring medical stuff. I got done with my antibiotics last week and felt even better, but then my body said, "Hey, let's rip the heck out of our shoulder in the middle of the night for no reason whatsoever." So I woke up and my shoulder hurt like hell. It wasn't until Sunday that I could put a coat on properly or lift my arm past horizontal. Much fun indeed.

Ok, except for the exciting things coming up. There's Wayne Brady on Friday at St. John Fisher with his comedy improv show. On Sunday is The Frogs which are a wacky band indeed. Listen to some clips from Amazon onThe Frogspage there. Next Thursday is Nuts and Bolts improv show once again.
