Holy Quick Turnaround, Batman! I have to thank the incredibly talented and apparently extremely fast-video-editing Nick Newlin for getting this video out less than a week after it was shot. This is the video from all that nonsense I posted over the weekend about going Inside the Head of a Performer. Now you can see the fruits of my efforts. There's about a second or two when the video skips, possibly by accident, possibly because I said the F word one too many times. It's not perfect, but neither am I.

Three Beer Rule

Three Beer Rule

I have alluded to it before. Let me explain it now. First of all, it ONLY applies to stage performances. The formulas for talking to pretty girls, dancing at weddings and religious conversations with ex-girlfriends and/or family members are much different and constantly in flux. But the Three Beer Rule has yet to let me down since its discovery.

It is very basic. On the night of a performance, I’ve found that I need to drink three beers. No more, no less. EXACTLY three beers. Any less and I can feel the nerves and can’t get as into the moment. Any more and I forget shit and hit on the front row, regardless of gender or social class. Now there have been situations where I’ve needed to concentrate or remembering shit more, so I’ll drink less. Also, there are easy gigs or parties with a stage where being over the three-beer limit isn’t as inappropriate. But you’ve all now been introduced to the Three Beer Rule.*

(* Ed note – The “Three Beer Rule” will not get you out of a DUI. In fact, it may earn you one. You’ve been warned)

This is by far not my best outing. I was trying to play a character and at least I've decided that it's better to be funny than true to a character on stage this day. Also, if you haven't read the following, they are about this performance. Feel free to read them and share in my on-stage pain.
