What is Comedy Soda?
Comedy Soda is a venue for my humorous prose. Suzanne and David Mattocks will be pitching in every now and then.
Now for the top secret origin of Comedy Soda...
We need to travel through the mists of time to a simpler more restless period...1998. Dave and I decide to take a road trip north.
Earlier that year, I was trying to return home after watching Fluffer play at the New World Music center in Tinley Park, Illinois. A blistering 100 degree day that was. So I'm driving, and I use the term loosely because I am bat-fuck lost, when I see a movie theatre in my rear view mirror. I filed the information for later, because I needed to get home.
Dave and I were looking for another journey of adventure to take and I suggested we go up to this movie theatre. He agreeded. An hour or so later we are preparing to enter Bremen Theatre. After walking the derelict brick hallway to the movie theater, we find we can only make The Big Liebowski. Yeah, I know...you could do a lot worse. We loved the movie. Driving home in great spirits, we are cracking jokes like mad. Goofing off at the Rte. 57 reststop, south of Monee, I said wouldn't be great if you could bottle this goofy buzz and sillyness we were feeling. And from there grew Comedy Soda. A story about a soda pop that played comedy skits in your mind when you drank it.
