I had my first gig tonight. One of the people in my former improv class had an offer to have us perform for a charity event/party. No money involved, but it was an opportunity for some experience.
The event was trying to raise money for a school in the tsunami region. It was semi-formal, so we had to try and look respectable. Our set only lasted for about 50 minutes. The audience was standing around and didn’t seem that in to the whole experience. There wasn’t a lot of energy from the crowd. So I don’t think we did that great. Nothing sticks out in my head that I did wrong, but it didn’t feel inspired.
Actually the hour we spent warming up seemed more inspired.
Afterwards I hung out at the party. Ate some hors d’oeuvres, watched some other group do dancing. But really, I didn’t know anyone there, so it was just like the bar scene.
No regrets.

My shoulder is feeling a lot better. I haven’t had an advil in twelve hours, but there are times when it doesn’t feel in pain at all. And the rest of the time it is just a small twinge.
I’ve still decided not to go running tomorrow. I have a muscle near my groin that has been having sharp pains. I don’t want to make things worse. With my body feeling like it is falling apart, I’m not going to stress it.
