| No vest is Fearlest. |
I don't feel ambitious enough for paragraphs tonight. I felt like doing a list. So here is a list of some of the 2014 Cape Fear Comedy Festival people and a sentence or two I can say about each of them.
Also, playing off the whole Cape Fear thing, at the end of each of the things I talk about, I also indicate whether that thing is FEAR or FEARLESS. That's a really clever, really deep premise.
FEAR OR FEARLESS:

- Ben Roy rides motorcycles. FEARLESS.
- Chris Alan appreciates a good Abraham Lincoln t-shirt. FEARLESS.
- Bridget Callahan, Steven Marcinowski let me sleep on the couch for the week and they didn't even know me! We're good friends now! FEARLESS.
- Lydia Popovich took a chatty Manna crowd and joked them into submission. FEARLESS.
- Lauryn Petrie isn't afraid to yell at the Manna lounge crowd to shut up- right before her set. FEARLESS.
- Lauryn Petrie isn't afraid to freestyle sing during her set. Also, Jay Whitecotton jumped in and accompanied Lauryn on the piano. He is really good and they were good together. FEARLESS.
- Carrie Gravenson told me she pretended to take off her top. I didn't see that part so I don't know if she actually pretended. FEAR.
- John Dick Winters will knock the briefcase right out of your hands- with no regards to your briefcase's contents. FEARLESS.
- The cops were giving a street band a bunch of crap, so Chris Trew invited them to be the band for The Real Chris Trew Show. FEARLESS.
- After The Real Chris Trew Show, the band asked me who books City Stage. I don't know! But wow: even musicians ask "Who books that?" FEARLESS.
- During The Real Chris Trew Show, Madison Davis sang a fucked up version of The Star Spangled Banner. The thing is she can really sing! FEARLESS.
- During The Real Chris Trew Show, Lisa Friedrich revealed her genius marketing strategy: she uses the Tinder app to get horny people to come to her shows. FEARLESS.
- During The Real Chris Trew Show, Jake Sharon ate a 3.5- pound burrito and didn't even puke. FEARLESS.

One of those times I was actually on stage with you, during The Real Chris Trew show. I was the guy struggling to eat a burrito. I don't remember what you were doing cause I was real focused. FEAR.
- If you find yourself struggling to eat a 3.5-pound burrito, Lew Morgante will help you cheat. FEARLESS. ALSO, DISHONEST.
- Lew Morgante is a different person from Louis Bishop. FEARLESS.
- Another genius marketing strategy: Dr. Brian King takes pictures of his business cards resting in lady cleavage. FEARLESS.
- Other than in this blog entry, Tim Warner has essentially erased himself from the internet. FEAR.
- Ryan Singer is embracing his Salt and Pepper, but is not interested in Salt and Pepper unibrow. Also, I hope he doesn't remember that conversation. FEARLESS.
- KC Arora wears a KC hat- but takes it off right before he goes on stage. FEARLESS.
- KC Arora and Jason Saenz may have the same hair- but they are definitely not the same person. I was confused. Pro tip: KC wears the KC hat. FEARLESS.

- Other stuff happened, but I am getting sleepy and I have a long drive tomorrow. FEAR.
