Laugh Factory Long Beach: My Funny Valentine

February 14th, 2009.

Laugh Factory Long Beach had two sold out shows on one of the most ridiculously made up day of the year, Valentine’s Day. Patrons were lining up outside the venue, waiting to be seated. Temperature was steadily dropping as the night rolled on. The first show was scheduled to go on 7:45 PM, and the host of the show didn’t get to take the stage an hour later. Darren Carter was one of the comics to perform on the first show. Having just recorded his second live CD the night before, Carter entertained the audience with his staple bits.

The audience for the second show started lining up outside the venue shortly after the first show started. The second show started close to 11:00 PM, 85 minutes later than scheduled. Last minute line-up changes took some of the fans by surprise as some of them came to the show to see certain comics. Some fans expressed their disappointments when they found out the comic they came to see were seemingly replaced at the last minute. Jill-Michele Meleán was scheduled to host the second show only to be replaced by Frazer Smith without explanations. Meleán ended up hosting Midnight Show at Laugh Factory Hollywood.

Overall, the night was a smashing success. The Valentine crowds were entertained and the venue had two huge sold out shows. There are a lot of wrinkles for Laugh Factory to iron out to make itself the destination for attraction in the Long Beach area. Laugh Factory Long Beach is no stranger to last minute line-up changes. On its grand opening show, many comics were advertised but ended up absent from the show.

New Hard Drive, iLife ’09, iWork ’09 and Canon EFS IS Lens.

January has been a relatively idle month, because I have been preoccupied with a lot of things. There are a lot of news that I could repost here, and there are a lot of subjects I could blog about.

Catching up on the “blogging” a little bit, these are a few things I’ll be talking about in the coming week:

  • Installing new hard-drive on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo 2GHz.
  • The Mac Box Set that includes iLife ’09, iWork ’09 and Mac OS X Leopard.
  • Canon EFS 55-250mm IS lens.

I’ve been playing with iPhoto ’09 for the past few days and planning to post a few fun stuff I found.

I guess I’d better stop slacking and write some more.

Before I forget, I’m eyeing Panasonic HDC-SD100 AVCHD Camcorder.

P.S. Carlos Alazraqui and Jill-Michele Meleán will be performing at The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena on February 5th, 2009. Be There!

iLife ’09 and Mac Box Set are Arriving on Tuesday

iLife '09 Mac Box Set iWork '09

At MacWorld San Francisco 2009, Apple announced that iLife ’09 would be shipping sometimes in late January. On Monday January 26th, 2009 Apple announced that iLife ’09 would start shipping on January 27th, 2009. Some reported that Best Buy had started selling iLife ’09 on Monday January 26th.

Apple has started fulfilling pre-orders of iLife ’09 and Mac Box Set on Monday and most are arriving on Tuesday January 27th. I’m waiting for the Mac Box Set to arrive at anytime today as it is being delivered by FedEx.

Mac Box Set offers a great value for those buying both iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. It comes with the latest Mac OS X disc for an extra $10 on the retail price. Remember that most of newer Macs comes with its own Mac OS X install disc that wold only work with specific models. If you bought a Mac Pro 6 months prior and you could not find your discs, Mac Box Set is the answer.

iLife ’09, iWork ’09, and Mac Box Set are now available for purchase from Apple and many other retailers.

Another reminder for the disclaimer
