The show at the MA convention went really well and I’m super proud of my set. Similar to recovery, I did way better than I thought. Having close friends in the audience who were sitting up front helped, but there were easily 100+ people there from out of town who I didn’t know. I did 4 open mics in the week leading up the show to practice (probably a personal record for most mics in a week), plus one more earlier in August. It was so much fun to be onstage again and feel how natural it is to me. I’ll attach the audio of my set here. My phone was far from the speakers, so crank the volume! Thank you all for the support this last year. Wouldn’t have pulled this off without you.

Happy birthday to the extraordinary @Matthew Paneitz !!!

Yesterday, I began the courage exercises. My act of courage was to call someone I’ve never met or spoken to talk about what I could provide cheesecake-wise to the two events she is planning and managing for a real estate development company here in Austin. Was feeling anxious about calling and almost sent an email instead. But I went ahead and called anyway despite my nervousness and we had a nice conversation about what she was looking for and what some of the options I had that she could choose from. We texted again this morning and I’m just waiting for her next response. So it went well despite the negative voice in my head.
