Welcome to the Funny Bone! South Bend (Mishawaka) Indiana

After my set, I whipped out my camera and instructed everyone to say "Cheese".

Me and Derek with some folks from the Funnybone. Janet (on the far left) runs the joint.

Once a brewery, this building now holds a condo that the comics stay in. It's also home of Mike's Sporting Goods and the GLBT resource center.

Apparently GLBT means Gay Lesbian Bi and Transexual. Derek and Mike (two heterosexual beer drinkers) try to fit in.

Up and Down 3 flights of stairs to and from the condo. We had to work off the beer somehow.

The staircase just seemed to go down and down to the earths core.

The condo was equipped with a giant bathroom door. The door also included windows for added privacy.

This was my Batloft! This is where I would pass out after a night of comedy.

I would pass out in the loft, and wake up here in the living room. Weird.

A visit the the University of Notre Dame! The Girls Gone Wild bus was no where to be found.

Here we have statues of Walt Disney and Roy Crock staning in front of a painting of Jesus proclaiming "It's GOOD".

This is me standing in front of a statue of Moses saying "Follow me! It's not that much farther".

Back in Mishawaka, Derek questions a word on this sign.

Only in Mishawaka Indiana will you find a random gorilla satue for no apparent reason. "YOU BASTARDS! YOU BLEW IT UP!"

This is Ed's collectables. Just look in that window. There's frying pan... and that's just the begining.

I sat in the bushes outside this place for hours waiting for hot chicks to emerge.

The Center Street Pub was in the same parking lot as our Condo and the Funnybone, so we obviously spent a good amount of time there.
