The comedy club...

I've never been to a comedy show... I've never seen live comedy. I've only seen it on TV (when I had cable I was addicted to Comedy Central). I'm periodically amazed at where my job takes me, and this was a really fun assignment.

I was happy with most of the photos I took during the night. But this one I was glad I saw. It's dark a heck in these places and there are only a couple of very focused can-lights in the rafters. I just waited for a waitress to take a drink order from the tables near that light. I knew then to move to the back of the room and played the waiting game. I was pre-focused on where she'd walk by under the light and I like the result.

Love the moody feel, although it's really begging for the cigarette smoke you'd expect in a night club. Darn smoking ban!
