I dunno about recovery, I sorta forgot I was in a city where a lot of people probably can't legally set too much off, and what I was recalling (poorly) was us playing with fireworks on my grandpa's farm in Wisconsin ... not the urban nightlife area of Dallas,TX right near SMU. Anyway, I feel I've been both holding back and not preparing enough for these (and I was trying to tone down my set from last week, which went over ok, which I think was a mistake), so we'll see if third time's the charm next week. I hung out at the bar afer with the other comedians, all of whom pointed out "you can't bomb an open mic, just learn."
Osmonds were a bit before my time, but their Evil Knievel outfits are snazzy.
My old friend's family sees Utah, at least Salt Lake City, as a bit of a nightmare, but they are atheists and the friend himself was gay, so I can easily understand why; I think they'd agree with your statement about Prop 8 is what I'm saying. Not sure I could live there myself with that kind of religious pressure. I mean southern Baptists can be fervent as hell, but I come from a Catholic family, which is a lot more relaxed in many ways. And of course, I've met understanding Baptists, etc.
As for Florida, did you ever listen to the show Loveline when it was Adam Carolla and Doc Drew? They used to play a game called "Germany or Florida," because all the fucked up stories came from those places, it seemed. I think he still does that on his podcast, been a while since I listened, though.
