Some hilights to the show.
The eversweet, Lisa was the emcee and did a great job!
My set was a work in progress (meaning: ouch, two people walked out - one of them looked like Ron Jeremey on roids.(no joke)
Heavy metal instrumental band 02 rocked the house. The guitar was very good.
A 75 year old lady read poetry with the help of a flashlight. Her poem about supermarkets kicked majot butt.
Thunderchicken were back. The 80s were back in full force. GREAT STUFF.
John Kennedy, not JFK was back and playing very good.
Sharon was new and sang a beautiful set! Wade even went up to talk to her after - WADE YOU DAWG!
Didn't stay to see 'Ron the poet' but I hope it went well.
footnote: the website only had 24 hits today so thankfully I won't be crapping my pants.
Whew!
This could break the ALLTIME WADE record.
I promise if I get 50 visitors today I will crap my pants.
I saw Regis Philben in Duane Reade south of Columbus Circle in a FILA jumpsuit -no joke.
(insert your own diaper joke)
I have the day off and just took a long walk. I'm going to join the YMCA today so I can start toning up. Just 30 minutes four times a week of a little lifting weights (light weights, many reps) and I will be ready!
READY?
Yes, ready. Ready to wear my *tanktop* to work. LOOK OUT LADIES! WADE IS IN THE HOUSE AND HE'S A BIT UNTONE NOW, BUT GIVE ME 5 MONTHS and we'll see who's drooling over what!!!!!!
Amen.
April 28, 2003
I am working at Comedy Central today. FREE BREAKFAST: banana, two cups of oj, a piece of toasted raisin bread, a half of plain bagel with a little butter and a strawberry oatmeal bar. Life is good.
Not much else going on today. I am wearing the Spring shirt my grandmother picked out when I was home. Robert, my cool fellow worker said it looked great. Thanks R, you made my day.
April 27, 2003
Everybody at NBC SPORTS (Trish, Randy, Fred and Jimmy D) all agree I shouldn't have told the ladies that I was 'in' with the NBC commissary workers. But you know what, they might be right, but I'll tell you Jackie and Pablo in the commissary are great people and they deserve to be talked about.
April 26, 2003
Don't go up to 4 girls at a bar and talk about how you can get a 50% discount at your work commissary because 'you're in' with the commissary workers. Tonight that wasn't beneficial to the Wade.
April 25, 2003
Film Director Jim Jarmusch- who passed by one of my shows at the Orange Bear (circa 1999).
He was walking on University Place by the Blockbuster Video Store, last night around 9ish.
I mumbled -"Hey Jimmy."
He smiled a little smile and continued to roll along past me.
Ate a sandwich at a sub place and they f-ed it up major. How do you screw up a turkey sandwich?
Well, I may hit Boston Market tonight! I want some real food.

(right here on this site)
"The following shows I will be trying mostly new material with little or no guitar at all. I am focusing on story-telling that is hopefully funny. Oh the times are a changing but old WADE is the same guy who came to NYC 5 years ago with a backpack and guitar at hand on the Greyhound bus from New Hampshire. I want to improve and feel the guitar is nice, but let the people hear WADE talk a bit more. Bravo Wade. Remember Wade likes to talk in the 3rd person singular but doesn't have a big ego, honest. So let's hope this is a step in the right direction, something new, something fresh. My hat goes off to WADE for trying and being out there, making it happen. Gotta love the WADE! " - WADE

CURLING - A CULT SPORT!
I just called my grandmother to wish her a Happy Easter and she thought NBC Sports was covering
HURLING.
I told her, "NO!, THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HURLING AND CURLING!"
Working different means of promotion. You can join simply by scrolling down to the bottum of this page.
Last night I witness some great acting, sets, lights, etc at the ACTOR STUDIO SCENE STUDIES SOMETHING ER RATHER.
I found out you can't take photos during the play (it's sort of against the law).
I saw a bunch of old friends - Shay, Spanky, Trevor (and his friend Matt), Melissa, Jesse, and of course the great actress DENISE!!!!!
Denise was excellent in her role as an experienced lady who drinks scotch in the morning. BRAVO DENISE!

April 18, 2003
I am heading back today. The weather has been dry and I hit Walmart last night and saw three hot ladies.
Now, seeing three hot ladies in a WALMART in NH is like witnessing Jesus Walking on the water!!!!!!!!!! (no joke)!
5) My Mom
4) Dr Cockwell
3) Larry Bird (yes, the good looking one)
2) JODI
1) The lady from Boston Market in Chelsea, I believe her name is Martha (thanks for the free extra side of Mac and Cheese).******
I took the extra side home and had it for dinner the next day.
I have been thinking about adding to whatever I write daily so here goes....
The flounder that I ate had Ritzie Cracker Stuffing.
The donuts were sloppy and messy and all the chocolate got on my hands.
I MADE THE CHICKEN SNADWICHES MYSELF - ON WONDERBREAD! with fat free mayo (I'm cutting down on calories).
I love frozen whoopee pies as much as I love fresh whoopee pies.
I love saying 'WHOOPIE PIES'.
April 17, 2003
ANOTHER BAD DAY ON THE SITE - only 10 visitors.
THANKS TO JODI FOR ALWAYS CHECKING THE SITE.
Ate fish (broiled flounder) today and chicken (not fried). Ate two chocolate frosted donuts from Dunkins and a half of whoopee pie (frozen, but still good).
THE BIG WADE DIET BEGINS THIS MONDAY!!!!!!!!!
I bought a new watch today, and a new wallet, 9 pair of white socks, three shortsleeve dress shirts and a nosehair clipper (no joke). the nose hair clipper runs on batteries and is an incredible invention. LIFE IS GOOD.
April 16, 2003
7 Visitors to the site. I guess people really don't care about the weather and food in my life.
I'm trying folks.
7 is better than 0.
So thank you LUCKY 7.

Lunch - a couple of beef kabobs.

But prior to being born, WADE DID SOME COOL STUFF.
check out WADE BEFORE HE WAS A FETUS.
Not a heck of a lot going on today.
Celebrity sighting - Ray Romano in the NBC Studio Bank Elevators with two women. He smiled at me and said, "Are you hot?" (I was wearing a fleece, sweatshirt and windbreaker.) I looked at Ray and retorted, "Now I am hot!" He and the two ladies looked at me like I was nuts.

POWER JOKER
By ANTHONY BREZNICAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 10, 2003 -- HE'S become a top box-office draw by playing infantile men prone to tantrums.
It's that childlike behavior that makes it hard to believe Adam Sandler is a workaholic and one of Hollywood's most powerful movie moguls.
"I was in his office 12 hours a day, and he was either working with me, or working on editing something else, or working on one of his other projects," said David Dorfman, screenwriter of "Anger Management," which opens tomorrow and co-stars Sandler and Jack Nicholson. "He worked non-stop."
Sandler, who never gives print interviews, joked to Associated Press Television News about why he wanted to work with three-time Oscar-winner Nicholson: "I said to myself, 'This poor fellow needs a gig.' "
Sandler has the freedom to do as he pleases, thanks to a string of successes at the box office - from 1995's "Billy Madison," a low-budget film which grossed $25 million, through "The Waterboy" and "Big Daddy," which each collected more than $160 million.
Described by Dorfman as a "benevolent mogul," the 36-year-old comic uses his clout to help his friends - guiding pet projects of fellow "Saturday Night Live" alums Rob Schneider, David Spade and Dana Carvey through the studio system.
"I don't really know why he did it, you'd have to ask him," said Carvey, of the help Sandler gave him in making "The Master of Disguise."
"I guess I was nice to him on 'Saturday Night Live' - thank God."
Under the umbrella of his Happy Madison production company, Sandler also produced Spade's "Joe Dirt" and the upcoming "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star," as well as Schneider's "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," a $65 million hit.
Although Sandler's 2000 comedy "Little Nicky" was a step backward - underperforming with a $39 million gross - he still persuaded Sony Pictures to gamble on "Eight Crazy Nights" a cartoon partially inspired by a line in "The Hanukkah Song," a skit he'd developed for "SNL."
Dorfman joked that the studio probably would have made "a Kabuki play" if Sandler had wanted.
"If nothing else they respect box office," he said.
Sandler also used his influence to get Sony's support for last year's "Punch-Drunk Love," an arty, esoteric comedy-drama about a repressed man who falls in love despite his horrible bouts of rage.
The movie earned only about $18 million, but the film attracted a highbrow audience that had previously sneered at Sandler.
"It's in a more acceptable form, where critics can appreciate him, finally," Schneider said.
"These people were [saying] six months ago 'moron,' 'idiot,' 'idiot savant,' at best."
When film critic Roger Ebert, who had despised all of Sandler's previous films, crossed paths with the comic at a party, he praised him for "Punch-Drunk Love."
"I will have to tell my parents, so they can watch your show again," Sandler reportedly responded. "They had to stop watching your show because it made them say bad words."
Carvey describes Sandler's production company as a "big family" - the Web site features Sandler and co-workers playing basketball and romping on the company's new motor cart.
From composer to editor to production designer, Sandler surrounds himself with buddies, onscreen and off.
A few longtime friends regularly play goofy character roles in his films, and occasionally even his fianc�e, Jackie Titone, turns up in a bit part, playing a waitress in "Big Daddy" and an angel in "Little Nicky."
"Almost everybody he works with, he's had a relationship with since college or at least for many, many years," Dorfman said. "He likes to work with his friends."
Asked his reason for devoting so much time to producing, Sandler said, "Control. Not trusting anyone else. Fear of people. I don't like to be touched. As a producer I can guarantee that none of that stuff will happen."

I woke up with a rough hangover (2 beers will do that). I didn't eat breakfast but made two toasted chicken sandwiches on white Wonder bread and mayo for lunch. Then 3 graham crackers with MILK! WOW! Excitement personified! I might eat an apple later on if I'm in the mood.
Enjoy the day! I have 5 visitors so far today, let us pray I get 13. (just tryin to set some goals, you know).

I hate this weather with a passion.
I ate a sub at Fiore's today in Hoboken (corn beef, motz and mustard) with a coffee espresso soda. A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
Today is 'dedicated to WADE Day.' I am going to spend my day working on my own creative endeavors. SAD NOTE: It's 1:40pm and I am already done.
April 07, 2003
By the way, IT'S SNOWING HERE IN NYC! APRIL 7th and YES! IT'S SNOWING!
April 06, 2003
I AM LOOKING FOR EITHER AN OLD SLIDE PROJECTOR
OR AN OLD OVERHEAD PROJECTOR!
Any information on this please email me at
awade33@hotmail.com
I ate a chocolate muffin and a cup of coffee. I gotta cut down on the sweets. BUT THEY WERE FREE!!!!
I am sad to say that David Bloom from NBC News died last night. I met him at NBC in an elevator when I was an NBC Page.
He was one of the few NBC TV personalities that went out of his way to ask me where I was from etc. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.
WE WILL MISS YOU DAVID!

I have checked other blogspot sites recently and seen her witty and funny comments there but... she has not been commenting on this particular site in the past few weeks.
SO PLEASE, COME BACK JODI! All of us here at adamwade.blogspot.com miss you! I take back all the praise I gave 'Donnie Darko.' Come back JODI!
So as far as my entry yesterday, yes, GIRLS AND BOYFRIENDS. DAMN! ALL THE GOOD ONES HAVE BOYFRIENDS.
There's a great quote in an under-rated Ted Demme movie Beautiful Girls (speaking about the Uma Thurman character one of the guys says, "Girls like that are born with boyfriends."
TRUE! VERY TRUE!
"It's a long way to the top if.... you want to rock and roll." - ACDC
TRUE! VERY TRUE!
"She makes my heart ache.... like donuts and pancakes." - WADE Thursday night after 7 beers, double rejection, and a 2am heavy breakfast.

Maybe she'll like me, I'm not shallow
I walked to her and say, 'How do you do?'
I get all nervous inside I think I'm gonna puke.
So I just ask her if she's having any fun?
Next Question up...."Are you seeing anyone?"
She smiles and says she has a boyfriend.
You gotta love the girls with the boyfriends.
Now I don't what to do or what to say
Where to go or how long there I have to stay.

I guess that's what happens when you got to a bar and order a Diet Sprite.
Sometimes I am a sad sack! I appreciate my co-workers' (Laura, Jeremy in post, Jessica, Kevin, Adam CK, Bobey etc) advice with my lady situation, but go figure. The girl didn't dig me.
