It’s been a busy last few days for me and the blog took a hit for them.
- I hosted the Geeks Who Drink pub quiz at Opal Divine’s Freehouse on Sunday. It was my second time flying solo as host and my fourth time hosting overall. It was a good learning experience in dealing with people questioning the correct answers to obscure questions. I also thought I had a strong perfomance in terms of crowd control and witty banter. You can read more about it at my GWD post here.
- The Starter Kit (my improv troupe) updated its May/June schedule. We’ll be performing shows on 5/28, 6/6, and 6/26. For more information, check the sidebar on our website. I’m excited as our June 6th show will be the first time TSK performs at Salvage Vanguard Theater (aside from Out of Bounds 2008).
- I finished Dan Schwabel’s Me 2.0. Dan is a personal branding expert and I highly recommend the book for recent graduates looking for employment. Even if you’re not a member of the recent college grad generation, Schwabel’s book offers good advice on how to generate publicity for yourself and raise awareness. With all the recent layoffs in multiple fields, now is a better time than ever to get the word out about YOU. I wrote some previous posts on it here and here.
- Up next on my reading agenda: Never Eat Alone and The Year of Living Biblically. I’m especially excited for the latter book, which is about one man’s quest to follow the Bible – as literally as possible. As one would guess, it definitely has a humorous spin to it (the synopsis references a section about stoning an adulterer).
