STAND UP COMEDY

FIRST, get this CD for 12$, By Woody ALLEN.
http://laughstore.stores.yahoo.net/woodaloncom.html

THEN, Practice comic rap slyly in conversation  at parties!

NEXT, create  a local actors' comedians' writers/ screenwriters' FREE COMEDY CO-OP.

It starts if you start it. EASY to do really Use Craigs List to PUT OUT  an AD in the TALENT SECTION, reading: "LET's START an ACTORS' COMEDIAN'S CO-OP here. VIDEO DP's actresses, screenwriters invited. You get tape on yourself so you can attract agents, jobs."

Doing an ad at Craigs, you "feel the waters." as it were. You test market the idea. LOTSA kids will write you in answer to this ad. Keep their email addresses in a PC list. THE COOP list. CALL IT COOP. Easier to type than CO-OP! COMEDY COOP. You can get 5$ a head from every one who attends for 'snacks and the room.' Get a preacher to give you the church basement.

You know how to make EMAIL lists? Where you type one word and twenty names go into the email? I am so used to the fantastic email client inside NETSCAPE BROWSER VERSION 4.7 (vintage 1995) that I forget that
all browsers don't have good EMAIL SOFTWARE tucked inside. Tell me what you do have, I'll download it, play with it and see if it's as good as NETSCAPE VERSION 4.7 browser's inhouse mail and particularly, its LIST MAKING ability.

SOME things we need to learn to run an internet advertised COMEDY CO-OP, perhaps as a paying biz.

1.) ADVANCED MAIL LIST TECH. Master your BROWSER's EMAIL CLIENT. EUDORA
has a downloadable online mail client with all the bells and whistle.
Hundred bucks I think. For that reason, I don't use it, I USE NETSCAPE
BROWSER vers 4.7 which has a similar built in mail client with the
features of EASY VISIBILITY, easy list making. And free, did I mention? FREE!

2.) BASIC DOS FILE MANAGEMENT. Even these windows systems use the old
DOS language underneath. HAVING A TEXT reading FILE MANAGER is useful.
go to http://www.ztree.com and download it free, and play with it.

3.) Knowing your basic WORD PROGRAMS. My pc's have three each. All have
WORD PERFECT FOR DOS, (easy collation is its main feature, so legal
industry used it, loved it,) it has never been beat. COLLATING NATAL
HOROSCOPES I quickly with a single FUNCTION KEY (shift F10) slide VENUS
in AQUARIUS with MERCURY IN PISCES and assemble by collating. Bing Bing
Bing!

I USE WORD PERFECT FOR WINDOWS to pull the text from the FORMER one,
into the latter, save it in latter form i.e. a document. THEN I OPEN it
with WORD (bill gates word processor found in the MICROSOFT OFFICE SUITE.)
And save it one more time as htm. HYPTEREXT, so it's ready to go online and be
seen.

4.) A GOOD HTM WORDPROCESSOR and knowing the various FORMATTING
REFINEMENTS, colored fonts, *Paragraph HEADERS with BOLD FACE, Stars or indents, DIFFERENT widths of column, and for adding graphics. I use the word processor that is inside of my NETSCAPE BROWSER called "COMPOSER" as graphics are added most easily to files with it. Download Netscape Version 4.7 online, free.

5.) BURNING CDS - Selling them could be an idea, depending on the biz.

6.) Learn to use CRAIGS LIST for placing ads. http://home.earthlink.net/~loveguru/craig.htm
