It was so fun. My poor roommate Charlie got the unenviable task of helping me dress beforehand.
"Helping Glenn get dressed" usually involves some forms of alcohol, lots of encouragement/discouragement, and so much stress in the air that it could forms lightning. This particular night had me freaking out over whether to be casual or dressy. I opted for a black shirt that hid my arms and focused everything on my shiny head.
My stomach was roiling, I was sweating like a Republican on judgment day, and my mouth was as dry as a field in the Panhandle. Chris, who also has links to the others, found googlisms about me as an introduction, and then I went to the microphone.
I change when I get in front of an audience. It's one of the reasons I like teaching. It was so much fun. I told them my story, and I really got caught up in the feelings from two years ago. People laughed at the funny points, cringed at the nasty points, and clapped at the end. It felt like graduation back in June, but with funnier people talking.
I'm glad I did it.

Can we possibly persuade you to post the story you read? Because it was good, and then we can link to it, and then people who didn't get to go can read it and think, "Hey, that G is funny and cool and he can't be pushed around by 12-year-old girls."
