Part of having a great act is having great material to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Everyday of your life, you go somewhere and overhear something that is crazy funny. Maybe it is not in &#8220;joke&#8221; form when you hear it. Maybe it is something that will have to be developed. However, if you forget it before developing it, it is useless to you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is why it is CRITICAL that you have a small $.79 spiral notepad in your pocket at all times. The minute you hear something funny, pull out your pad and jot down the basics of what was funny. You don&#8217;t have to take the time to develop it in its final form. Just take enough of a note<br \/>\nto be able to jog your brain later in the day or whenever you sit down to work on your material.<\/p>\n<p>\nYou can use the same notebook to key in on appointments, or keep a running list of people you can contact to get bookings. Even if you have a very good memory, there is too much stuff going on in your life to be able to remember it all. A good note taker is better than a good memory.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now folks,<\/p>\n<p>Steve and JET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From time to time we like to take a few minutes to focus on small things that can be important&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,60,61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hints-and-tips","category-puppets","category-ventriloquism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3430,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2102\/revisions\/3430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
