I have so much fun at your Top Shelf Comedy show at Solly's! Thanks for putting on such a great show. I feel sheepish about this, but, I've been twice and both times no-one has collected any money from me... I feel guilty enjoying all those laughs without paying my fair share... has anyone been collecting the $5 admission fee? I want to support my local comics and I feel like I've been stealing laughs!
Anonymous, I don't know who you are. But if you are real, will you marry me?
Oh, by the way...how many times have you seen me?

I don't charge a specific fee for most of my shows, so I guess just give however much you feel I've earned collectively over the course of the past five years that I have been honing my craft. And thanks for supporting your local comics!
Oh, and again, sorry to bombard you with subsequent posts...but I do want to remind you that you should - if you're going to be fair - pay interest on the laughs that you have admittedly been stealing up to this point. So be sure to tack that onto whatever total you had come up with previously.
And again, thanks so much for being supportive of us! We really appreciate our fans!!!

Hey Bryson, Do you like FEES?
hi-- original anonymous here--
on your site its listed as:
"Top Shelf @ Solly's Tavern 9pm $5"
Was anyone collecting this money anywhere at Solly's? No one stopped me to ask for my $5.
Bryson, I've see you a few times now... but you weren't at Solly's on Tuesday, I would've remembered that! Wait, were you? How stoned was I?
Anyway, you're welcome for my support-- stand-up is my most favorite art form, and I try to see my local DC-area comic-artists perform as much as I can--- keep up the awesome work and definitely don't be shy about collecting money-- you're all worth every penny, with interest!
Bryson? He sucks! He looks like a bird! I'm Not Hating, I'm Just Saying
I would just like to apologize to myself for my own blog's rudeness.
And by the way, other anonymous, Yes! I do love FEES!
If this is about feces, I'm shutting the blog down
I disagree with Monica. I tried to pay, was refused and still felt like I got ripped off.
See you back at Solly's in two weeks.
