Forward Progress
I have booked my first party. A buddy of mine is having a halloween party, and I’ve been asked to provide the entertainment. He’s an incredible artist, so we’re bartering my performance for his creating a poster for me. It’s going to be a low key thing, with a mix of strolling and parlor magic. It’ll be a great opportunity to get my business cards out there and also get back into the swing of perfoming. I’ve got an idea of what I’m going to be doing (kinda) which is a first for me.
The other day, I met with him while he was on break from work and prepared Devin Knight’s glass box prediction. It’s my first time audience testing it, and I hope it goes well. I’m very excited to finally try it, and will definitely report back.
Also, I’ve decided to build my own website. After having a friend say he’d help me and then let me down a couple times, I went to Half-Price Books and bought a few “Web Design for Beginners” manuals. I’m not gonna lie, it’s quite intimidating. I know absolutely nothing about how things work behind the scenes, but I figure it’s time I learn. Since I’m using the Internet for just about everything I do, I should probably learn something about how to make it do things I want to do.
It’s probably going to take me a long time of trial and error before I get anything decent up. I kinda liken it to someone saying, “I need a new place to live, so I’m going to the library and check out ‘House Building For Dummies’!” It’s probably not going to end well. And chances are I’m going to be emailing some of you for help with really stupid things.
Anyway, I’m going to go write my first bit of website now. Wish me luck!
