Eric's House Of Ego

I am performing a standup set at the First Cup Cafe in DSM this friday. 2100 E 14th Street at 9:30 pm. I am one of four comics performing. As I understand it, this is at least partially a smoking venue, if that has a bearing on your attendence. There is a 5 dollar cover.

I will be in the Just Plain Folks showcase at the Ritual Cafe June 5th. I will be doing one song. Things start around 5 I think and I am on around 7:30 if I remember correctly. I will post more on that soon.

And I am about to confirm an actual local gig the end of June. I won't say where it is yet, but I probably could use a link from this post when I post about it.

That and I am at Duckon June 8-10 in Napierville IL. More info on that as I get it as well.

Here is what the website has to say

Michael "Moonwolf" Longcor - The Filk GOH

Confirmed
Frank Hayes (OH MY YES !!!, I've never seen him)
Murray Porath
Tom Smith

Performers you are likely to see at Duckon this year.
Clif Flint
Graham & Becca Leathers

Performers we hope will make it at the last minute
Steve Simmons
Carol Flynt

I thought I would sign up for the Just Plain Folks showcase in Des Moines in June ... here is the email I sent. I couldn't resist a couple of Eric-isms

Date(s)/City(s) Interested in: Tue, Jun 5: Des Moines, IA Venue Set: Ritual Cafe

Artist/Band Name: Eric Coleman

Music Genre: singer/songwriter/sarcasm

Band Size and Instrumentation: I'm rather large and I play guitar

Short Descriptions of your music, style and experience: Eric is a
songwriter/singer (when you hear him you'll understand) who writes
both serious and funny songs. For some reason few people want to hear
the serious stuff. He's been playing music since the 70s, but doing
what he is doing now since the new century. He has been played on the
Dr Demento show as well as a lot of internet radio stations.

Special Time Needs: None, I play almost exclusively in 4/4
