The Set You Always Miss
Sigh* This all started yesterday. I very clearly made a post on Facebook which lead to an invite to a BBQ on the fourth of July in Algiers Point New Orleans Louisiana, (are all the names supposed to go together like that?). My friend Byron and I went, and I was introduced as a comedian.... "They are very funny." Common mistake, this happens a lot. However, G is also a comedian, and has never seen me go on stage...I don't think. I have insane performance anxiety and every time I go up, I shake....and forget everything I was going to say. For me to hit the stage, I am usually blackout drunk which, usually doesn't go very well or have any content that I would like to remember or even hear again. Never the less, I am now a comedian. The entire situation made me re-think all of the time I have spent amerced in the NOLA comedy scene. What the hell am I doing? I know I love art of all stages and when I enjoy something, I am immediately immersed. Nothing in me will let it go...
