Well, that was interesting

Evidently, the practice at Bards is helping.

I still hate talking extemporaneously to an audience - I'm not good at it. I'm better than I was, fortunately.

We did the promo/performance/thingy for the Spotlight festival this afternoon - thank the gods for actors & fighters who can sell their performance. I blathered about why were there there and the (ahem) cursory instruction on how to do a fight.

Oddly fun, given that we were all amazingly too warm, on a stage we got 10 minutes to set up on, and I was pulling what I was saying mostly out of the thin air. Given that esprit de escalier is pretty much my nom du plume, drove me a little nutters reviewing it after for "what I should have said". But the audience seemed to like it enough not to leave, so I'll call it a win for now.

I need to do more talking to crowds on subjects other than my current show, the computer woes or my wee boy.

Either that, or I need to find myself a writer and learn the damned lines beforehand. [g]

Now - to make the boys dinner....
