Monday night, I was invited to take part in the tenth anniversary show of 20x2 in Austin. For those of you that don’t know, 20x2 is an event where 20 people have two minutes to answer a question. This year, the question was “Who Loves Ya, Baby?”
Some people read stories, some people played music, some people showed videos, and some people brought the funny. Me? I decided to go back to my roots and perform some poetry on stage. It had been a while since I last performed, so I was a bit shaky, a bit nervous, but all in all, it went really well.
The audio clip here is a practice run of the piece, Fanfare, that I performed on Monday night. The actual video or audio from the performance isn’t available just yet, but I’ll let you know when it is. If you’re looking for the text of the poem, I shared it on I Tell Stories on Monday, so you can check it out there.
