Halves descend on Los Angeles in October

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on September 2nd, 2009

It’s all over Facebook– ominous snapshots of glowing skies and flaming hillsides. Many of our friends in SoCal are a bit edgy as the wildfires blacken their backyards. It is hoped that the flames will be extinguished when we take that giant curve through the Cajon Pass. (We’ll be basing our selves in Vegas for our 17-day West Coast Swing, so we’ll be driving into “The Basin” on the 2nd of October.)

During our five years living in Burbank, we don’t recall so much as a traschcan fire in our corner of suburbia. We got lucky.

We’re scheduled to perform at the Hollywood Studio Bar & Grill on Friday, Oct. 2, and at the Airtel Plaza Hotel in Van Nuys on Oct. 3, as part of Bruce Fine’s Laugh Pack.

The Male Half will return to the Ice House stage on Oct. 8 (the first time either of us will have performed at that distinguished institution since 1993!) and will then switch over to the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach for Oct. 9 & 10.

We’ve got four days/nights off between our Laugh Pack appearances and the date in Pasadena, but we’re not sure what to do with the off time– Hunker down in Los Angeles, attending the occasional show between dining and drinking with hastily assembled gaggles of friends and associates? Or rumble back through The Springs to Phoenix to chill with family in the desert?

We’re haunting the travel sites right now, crunching the numbers and trying to cobble together an itinerary. You’ll know as soon as we know.
