ericcolemanI did How Can I Miss You ...
Both of the organizers thought it was one of my best sets, and the best selling of a song I have done there ...
I do have to have one negative rant though.
If you are going to an open mike of any sort, either as an audience member, but especially as a performer ... have some respect for the people onstage. I know I've done it, and I have tried to make up for it when I have, but two of the comics stood near me, and about 10 feet from the stage, and carried on a conversation through 8 or 9 of the 22 sets tonight. Not in whispers either. Full blown conversation.
It's just a bad thing to do, show some respect, we show it to you.

Walk mic stand over to two comics.
LIVE MIC
"ladies and gentlemen, these two have been talking for three songs now, so OBVIOUSLY they feel their conversation takes precedence over my performance. Let's give their no-doubt FASCINATING conversation a listen, and when they're QUITE the fuck done, I'll resume playing for you. Gentlemen?"
