Photo Road Journal
From May 2003 to August 2006, I documented my life as a touring stand-up comedian, including side adventures. There are a lot of great memories here, so this is the section of the old site I just had to preserve. Explore. Enjoy. And if FrontPage2003 makes you sick, get out while you still can.
