ohmygoddddd

I popped my open mic cherry.

And it was fabulous.

So, I brought Elena with me, and my other songwriter friend Sammy decided to open-mic with me, because she had never done it at this particular place (Caffe Vivaldi)...although she is an open mic veteran.
We went in, signed up, sat down. It's a tiny cafe, and basically everyone in the cafe was open-mic-ing. Aaaaand.........they liked me! They really liked me! I did Puzzle Sabotage and Silent Film, and people were actualllllly cheering (people other than Elena and Sammy), and after I finished and sat down again, the people around me even went out of their way to compliment me, the new girl.

Before I got to the cafe, I was nervous to the point of nausea; but once I stepped into the cafe I felt absolutely fine.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Okay. So I just wanted to share.
