I wrote my previous post last Friday morning and just now got around to posting it. This is how uninspired I've been lately. 

Randomly, yesterday, I got an @ reply on Twitter from @ChrisTrew of the Megaphone Show. He asked me if I'd be interested in doing storytelling at the Shadowbox show tonight. I replied that I'm not a performer (I haven't been for quite some time) but that I'd love to come. He then asked if I could be talked into it, so I asked him to call me.

He explained the premise of the show. Megaphone finds an interesting person - in this case I'M the interesting person (!) - to tell true-life stories and then a group of way funnier than me and talented improv actors basically riff off of those stories.  So, after speaking with Chris and hearing his enthusiasm for the performance, there was no way I could say no. What kind of life would I be leading if I said no every time I was afraid? Certainly not an interesting one.

So, tonight, I am going to attempt to get past my crippling fear and anxiety of public speaking, possibly open some doors to creativity that have been sealed shut as of late, and get on stage with a few random vignettes from my personal Lynchian history.  I would love for everyone I love to be there as I'm going to need major moral support. Please, please, PLEASE COME.

Here's more information about the performance itself:

I'll be lubing up early to kill the shakes at Capdeville around 7:30 with all my peeps:
