I plan on going to Ohio next week and I just noticed that every single show in the history of man-kind that I would’ve loved to see is happening those six days I’m gone.

This is why nobody takes a vacation in our little comedy sub-culture. Part of my brain knows this is ridiculous, but the other part is just so upset and loves to indulge. I figure this will be my short detox - an introduction to what my two-month Colombian adventure will be like in December.
I’ve learned that every epic, must-see, you-had-to-be-there show/party/fight is talked about for at most 4 days after the fact. Then something else comes along, and nothing before it matters.
Plus, if it’s really a big deal, your friends will talk about it so much that you’ll have false memories of being there. So it’s a win-win.
Enjoy your vacation.
