ROADSIDE STOP: DAVEWEAR

INTRODUCING SHWAG!

The word's origin comes from those funny cigarettes that contain no tobacco, and the contents thereof being common and cheap. That is to say; the "shit we all get". In other words, it wasn't the good stuff.

In the entertainment industry, Shwag is the stuff like T-shirts, posters, can coolers, and bumper stickers given away at concerts or sold after the concerts.

"On The Road With Dave" now introduces a line of shwag that I think IS the good stuff.

DAVEWEAR is your chance to wear "DAVE" On YOUR Road to where ever life takes you. ON SALE NOW is the "On The Road With Dave.Com" T-shirt currently featured in Black in sizes Small to X-Large.
(Larger Sizes Available Soon)

The shirts feature the large, attractive OTRWD chevron on the back with a smaller logo on the "pocket" side in the front. BUY ONE and show your support for "On The Road With Dave".














Purchasers of the T-Shirts who send in a photo wearing a shirt at a tourist spot, club or just out and about will be featured monthly at "On The Road With Dave".



More "stuff" that you can all get will be coming in the next few months. More Shirt colors, can coolers, and drinkware will be available. (I'm gonna like the shot glasses.) So, make this roadside stop often to check on new items.

T-Shirts are $20.00 Plus $3.00 Shipping and Handling and will be shipped from the designer in 3 weeks. It's a matter of trust, guys...I can't stock a full inventory yet, so each order is processed individually.

ALL ORDERS ARE CURRENTLY PROCESSED ONLY THROUGH PAYPAL

HEAD ON OVER TO MY NEW ROADSIDE STAND; DAVEWEAR...Dave's Shwag....Whatever.

DO NOT REVERSE! SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE WILL RESULT!

It's the end of 2008, and as is the fashion of most blog writers, this would be the day to publish a year-in-review-look-back at some of the significant blog entries of "Comedy This Exit" over the past year.

But, since the archives are still small, I think readers can look back at the 2008 archives fairly easy without any direction.

2008 was a good year for me and stand-up comedy. I had paying gigs. Not as many as I would have liked, but in some circles I had more paying gigs than a lot of comics that I'm aware of. I made some good contacts, some good friends, and some money.

So, in keeping with the exit-sign-road-sign theme of this blog, my advice to myself comes in the form of those parking lot signs you see, warning you about those spikes that can make your tires go flat...

"DO NOT REVERSE! SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE WILL RESULT!"

I'm not looking back; I'm looking ahead.

Here's to 2009 and even more gigs, more attention to expanding my act, and more time on stage. Here's to being a feature act; even a headliner or a corporate comic.

And, I'll keep on networking with all the folks out there.

And, and, if you wanna network with me in 2009; I'm at ALL of these places.

Thanks for a great 2008.

DETOUR: VACATION

As 2008 winds to a close, I am on a much needed vacation. Ten glorious days off which include Christmas week. This past weekend the wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary a few days early and went to New Orleans.


I couldn't help but have a cliche' photo taken of me in front of the "Welcome To Mississippi" sign at the Stennis Space Center Welcome Center. After all, Mississippi is my home state and every comedian has a few photos of themselves standing in front of state welcome signs. Why should I be any different?

And in case you are wondering if this "old-jeans-comic" can clean up--then you'll be happy to know that I don't look half bad in a suit standing with my wife in the Hotel Monteleone lobby in The French Quarter of New Orleans.
