Elko, NV (1-22-10)

This past weekend I hit the road again with Sadiki Fuller, featuring for him at The Red Lion Hotel in Elko, Nevada... for both a corporate gig and a regular show. The drive was 13 hours each way, and the weather was brutal.
Definitely an intense drive. I had to put chains on my tires for the first time ever... Sadiki had to show me how to do it. I did my first corporate gig, and I was SO nervous about having to be squeaky clean, because as most of you reading this probably know, 80% of my jokes are dick jokes. I was trying to tweak my favorite jokes to make them as clean as possible. We ended up having to perform in this big conference room at a hotel, and I went up RIGHT after the president of The Chamber of Commerce gave his big speech. They gave me a wireless mic, right in front of a podium, and introduced me as "Robbie PACKARD." Oh, and there was a panel of 6 people on either side of me, and they stayed up there for my set too. As bad as that sounds like it could be, they were a fun crowd and they had been drinking for about 3 hours so I killed. Then we did another show at The Red Lion Hotel later that night, which was also awesome. Other than the fact that I had brake trouble which is costing me $450 and also got a speeding ticket for going 65 in a 60 (its only costing me $67), it was a fun trip. Beautiful drive with awesome scenery. Perhaps we will meet again, Elko!
