Camera Down

Date: 1/18/17
Location: Marietta, PA
Venue: Railroad House Inn
Type: Open Mic
#: 47

I was going to have somebody take pictures of my performance, so whenever I get shows.  I have a professional looking shot for fliers but my camera had a different idea, it died right before my set.  So no mug shot for me, boo-hoo!

Stage fright my constant foe.  I will defeat you.

I did a couple things right in the set.  First I got on stage.  Second, I told jokes even though my mind went blank because of anxiety but I did it.  They laughed at them which was nice.

I cringed when I got off stage because I forgot to mention I had business cards on me.  Plus I forgot to do the oreo bit which I still don't know if it needs to be rewritten.  Anxiety being a jerk.  I'll overcome it someday soon.

January 2nd
so I left Monday night to go to the chameleon even though for the first time in a long time I found a Penn State game interesting.  I use to be a fan until the whole Sandusky crap happened and I have no plans of following them now.

When I drove off I completely forgot my set list I turned around to go back to get it and then decided screw it.  I'll do it from memory.  Yep my memory wasn't so great and I didn't need the jerk interrupting me during the first joke.  I didn't respond kindly and I won't repeat what I said.  Then, this guy was booing me after my set.  I really don't care since the chameleon club (lizard lounge) isn't my social club like it is for this guy.  When I leave after I find work and rarely go to that place.  He can boo other people and wonder why he's still in the same damn place.
