Friends! I like them!

FURTHER UPDATE:  As I stated would be the case last week, the following blog post is now current and up to date.  Be at Cole's tonight at 9:00 to see FtH followed by Comics all night long!

UPDATE:  Everything that follows is true, except it will be next week, not tonight.  As you were.

Hello FozFriends!  How happy can we possibly be about all of the good fortune that comes our way?  Here are just a few of things I have to brag about today as regards Friends, Mine.

First, last night my friend sent me an e-mail that she had a job to give (her friend had a job to give actually) and could I put her in touch with my Other Friend who lives in LA now and knows how to do that job and I contacted my Other Friend and said you want a job and she said yes and I introduced my friends and my Other Friend might even have a new job as we speak!  Yay!

 

Second, My Old College Chum, who is a crusading lawyer in Deepest Darkest Dixie contacted me yesterday to say that he is in town for a few days and he will come to Cole’s tonight!  Yay, Cole’s comics!  You might have a chance to meet somebody who did something with his life tonight! (See Above).

Third, some of My Other Old Chums might make it out to Cole’s tonight too.  It will be a complete festival of People Who Accomplished Something, and me too!

Fourth, do not despair.  Your Pals Foz the Hook are, themselves, THIS close to accomplishing something with their lives, and that something is Foz the Hook’s Annual War on Christmas Pageant.  This yearly celebration of shame and disgrace is scheduled for Wednesday night, December 19, at 8:45 at Cole’s.  There is more than one reason why you have to be there.  It’s not just us.  This will be big – very big.

Wait for it!

See you at Cole’s tonight at 9:00 for Foz the Hook, followed by Cole’s Always Awesome Open Mic, hosted by KennyandSoniaandAdam!

Go!

Class of Ninety-Hmmmm

Hey Brothers,

It looks like your old pal Foz is going to have two fantastic evenings in a row. Last night I got together with the pictured pack of Kansas Jayhawkers, Theater Department, Class of 199hmmmm. We sat outside, we drank drinky drinks in Old Town, and we adjourned to the Second City to see some sketch comedy. It was the kind of evening that people who don't live in Chicago think that people who live in Chicago do all the time. For a lot of reasons we don't, but we probably should. The pictured critters, all as enormously talented in other-than-traditional-theater professions as they were as acting students, are identified, from left to right as, Ramona Curtis, Your Pal in his Bjorn Skaptason disguise, Jeff Hopkins, and Jeff Sherr.

Which brings us to my next fantastic evening. Tonight You are going to meet Your Buddy Foz, and Patrick, and Old Leon "Tiger Shark" Strokes at Cole's for your weekly dose of madness. I think Cameron Esposito will host tonight, but if she doesn't somebody will write some music for whoever does. I think we are doing some amazing new material, but I can't remember what it is right now.

Since we haven't covered the details in a while, here they are: You will come to Cole's between 8 - 9 tonight. Cole's is at 2338 N. Milwaukee Ave., in Logan Square. This is just west of Milwaukee and California. If you are a comic, show up early for sign up. If you are not a comic, show up early for $2 PBR's with Travis the Bartender. If you are Patrick or Leon show up early enough to warm up with at least two pre-show drinks each. Buy a couple for yourselves too.

What a night it will be!
