I will only send one text and you will only be notified of shows in your area Go To: http://www.broadtexter.com/funny

Thanks Mike

Well it's that time of year again when I get around to actually putting my dates up on the web-site.  I have accepted an offer from Giggles Comedy Pub to Headline New Years Eve 2009.  As you may have already noticed I will be working at Mark Ridleys Comedy Castle this New Years Eve. 

I think that I want to create a video blog.  I am way funnier on video than in text!  Ha Ha LoL see not so funny.  I also just broke my rule about using LoL.  I hate LoL it is silly and I hated when it was new and everyone who used it thought they were Bill Gates cuz they knew Hip internet Lingo.   PLEASE STOP WITH THE LOLs.  Oh sorry for yelling.  What if I wasn't yelling what if my cap lock was on and I didn't know it.  I'm also kinda sick of the bad name that sex predators have given Myspace eg.  I give out my Myspace address on stage and people go no don't you'll get raped.  YOU CAN'T GET RAPED ON-LINE YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE (Sorry cap lock again).  I've never been on-line and had someone say I'm gonna double click you weather you want me to or not.

This week I am doing a run thru Wisconsin that ends Satuday night in Duluth MN.  Had ablast at the new Germantown/ now Brookfield WI. room and worked with a super funny cat the other night in Eau Claire WI. named Paul Strickland from Nashville you should check him out if you have a chance.

Here is the web address for the shows that I am doing in PA.  Next week.

Hello Everyone,

As you know, BE FUNNY premieres this Saturday at 9pm as part of the Detroit Windsor  
International Film Festival (www.DWIFF.org).  If you plan to attend please
let me know as soon as possible so I can have tickets waiting for you and your guest
at Will Call.  Some of you already have and the tickets will be under my name.  If you
know people who are attending make sure they mention that they are from Second City or
to use the password "second" when ordering on-line to ensure they'll get the $5 discount
rate, instead of the normal $8 rate (every dollar counts these days).

Whether you're planning on attending or not (I know the film fest announcement is rather
last minute and I've already got confirmations that some of the cast cannot attend due to
previous commitments) it is extremely important to at least help get the word out
because the only way a small film like ours gets to another or bigger film festival
is by creating "buzz" amongst the close knit film festival community by selling out
the venue or by winning awards--bigger, more enthusiastic crowds give better odds at
winning the all important audience awards. If we don't make it into the bigger, more
respected film festivals Be Funny will not get distributed and everyone's hard work and
talent won't be seen by large audiences.
 
We need you to please help us spread the word on this screening via e-mail, your
websites, myspace, facebook, blogs, calling friends and family, etc.  If you need
marketing material such as a trailer, poster, flyer, websites, press release, etc. feel
free to contact us at anytime and see the links below.

Thanks in advance and hope to see you all there!

Sincerely,
Denver Rochon 
(and Denn Pietro)

hi,
 
this email doesn't apply to all, but the core of promoting our film does.  Thanks for putting up with me in advance!
 
look, I know you're all very busy and I know how hard it is to juggle priorities such as getting back to people and what not... Call me guilty, but we need each of you to help us get the word out about the official premiere of OUR film, BE FUNNY.
 
Denver has tried making contact with each of you and had a lot of trouble getting a response.  Most of you haven't given him the courtesy of a response or if you have, it took many atte.pts.
 
BE FUNNY premieres this Saturday @ 9pm as part of the detroit windsor international film festival.  This IS important because the only way a film gets to anotther or bigger film festival is by filling seats and winning awards... At least an audience award.  This film will NOT get distributed unless it makes it into bigger film festivals.  
 
we need you to please help us spread the word on this film.  There are many ways to do, it just takes a little effort.  You can at least email people on your comedy and/or family email lists.  You can put up the poster AND TRAILER ON YOur myspace and websites.  You could post a blog about the film.  You could send out a myspace event or news.  You could help hang up flyers.  There are many things u can do and responding to Denver that you're at least going to be there is a great and respectful start.
 
Denver is the lead of this project between us and I handle our other film (showing friday @9pm) freezer geezers.  He works nonstop and is a machine.  he is constantly working to make this film a success and you in the process through this film.  
 
I am writing because i'm not parrticularly happy that denver has to beg you to show up and pay for tix for you and a guest to get u to go... Or reply!  We even tried setting up a / Q&A after the film but we got NO responses back from you to make it worth while for the audience.  They wouldn't want to hear from just us!
 
Denver and I have gone out of our way to record stuff knowing it wasn't for the film, extra tapings, edited stuff and made dvds for some of you.  Some of u have our footage on your websites or myspace but can't even promote the film by saying footage provided by or from be funny or whatever. 
 
please don't give up on this film and if you honestly don't care for it, please let us know.  This film desperately needs your help to fill seats.  I don't care if you don't respect me, but please show some to denver and most certainly to the film you're a part of.
 
Below are links to trailers or to the be funny page on the festival website.  The poster can be emailed to you by denver... He even has one with the date & time of the showing at top.  Please, again, help this film find success.
 
If u need anything to help prommote BE  FUNNY, please contact denver and he will gladly send you whatever u need.
 
(note: denver will be making another trailer once things slow down a bit.  He will send that to u in a couple weeks)

It's that time of the week again Blog time.  First order of business is Oreoman.Com I have added 4 buttons that act as links to a pod cast that I was on last week called the Corey and Joel Radio Show the link is below: http://www.coreyandjoelradio.com/archives/2008/01/corey_and_joel_158.html

You can also see an interview I did on Fox 2 Detroit: http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessi..737AE557D5B51F68874A03035AE718F4?c..4042940&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1

The Detroit Free Press article I spoke about in my last Blog: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008801200533

I also added a button that leads to this Blog.

Secondly what's new on Myspace I edited and added a video of a show I did in Las Vegas I published the 2 bits I am asked about most often the Aerosmith bit and the Weather piece you can check it out @ http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2088003946

Oh! and I added a slide show from the Detroit Comedy Festival the captions aren't visible right now I'm not sure why but I will do my best to rectify it.

Lastly this weekend I worked at a two night fund raiser in Upper Sandusky OH for Wyandot hospital. Of course I had to answer the usual questions about my allegiance to the Wolverines of  Michigan University.  That is just something you have to go threw if you work down here.

Another thing I have come to learn is this:  after years of doing this one of the few constants is if you perform in a small town they always tend to be super receptive I think it's because they don't get to see a lot of entertainment.  They don't have a comedy club the only comedy they see is on T.V. this group was awesome both nights laughing in all the right spots executing the Monkey joke to perfection and after both shows I met some of the nicest friendliest people.  One woman even brought me cake tonight because she felt bad about me sitting in my hotel room (a suite with a hot tub, two rooms and a kitchen).  The doctor who hosted the show (KK Solacoff) both nights was funny and very nice he had me over his house with a few couples after the show last night and they had some food and we laughed and goofed around till like 1:00 am, The young lady who was my contact Rene' Sherman was so on the ball it was really cool to see them make a bunch of money for a great cause and I think a good time was had by all.
