Jeff Bibik • Comedy Magician

My buddy Jeff Bibik from Chicago flew in today. He rented a car and is driving to Spokane where he'll be doing a college show tomorrow at 11:30AM. He stopped in this afternoon and we hung out for a few hours. I am lucky and blessed for all the friends that I have. Jeff is a nut, a VERY funny guy. He told me that he had put some new video up on his web site, so if I wanted to see him fucking. . . . . . He cracks me up.

We talked about first meeting in Chicago in 1989. I was doing a cross country festival tour with my first wife, Cricket (Buster's mom). We drove into Chicago in my blue Checker Cab to work the Taste of Chicago. Good times.

Jeff is now married with children and lives the daily challenges of the professional entertainer with a wife and kids. We talked about the challenges of all marriage as well as the problems that arise from having to work evenings, weekends and holidays. This is the life we chose and we're all dealing with it as best we can.

We talked about how long we have been in the business and how little we have to show for it. Show biz is tough. There are no rules in this industry that ensure that if you do this, this and this, that a desired outcome will materialze. The real world is a scary place. That's why I've chosen not to be a part of it.

Jeff is coming back tomorrow evening. He'll crash at my place, maybe I'll take him to the Owl and Thistle and introduce him to that swing dancing scene, then he'll fly out Thursday.
