For better or for worse, I've decided to take a risk and put my name in the bucket to perform standup at the UCB open mic event Gutbucket on Friday. HOLY cow.
So yeah, got a few more days to prepare, and who knows, I probably won't even get to go. But you might be wondering how I decided to take such a leap when it was scary for me to even start this blog, and I haven't even given anyone the link to it yet (and yes, I know at this point that means I'm talking to myself).
I just figured, since I'm in New York and I'm meeting all sorts of funny people I think basically I want this to be like my Sabrina moment in my life- the semi-shy girl from Texas goes on a whirlwind adventure in the big city and blossoms into her own and everyone back home can't believe it's her because she's way funnier than she was before. Also she cut her hair and became smokin' hot. I haven't cut my hair...yet.
Also, I'm in the habit of doing things just to say that I did it. That was why I went white-water rafting while I was a camp counselor, why I dragged my ass out of bed on a saturday morning to go to the immigration rally in Chicago, and why I camped out alone in the freezing cold Soldier Field to audition for American Idol. It's probably also what makes me extra freaky in the bedroom, fellas. So I thought, why not break my standup hymen at one of the most famous comedy theaters in the world? It's totally New York too. My next big New York thing to try- riding the subway.
