Casino Night: Different than I expected, but a fun time all around

I survived the Casino Night Fundraiser for the local theatre.

As I'm sure happens with most events, you are always expecting one thing — only to find out that things are not *quite* what you had in mind… although they turn out just fine anyway. (At least, that's what always seems to happen to me, probably my delusions of grandeur kicking in again, haha!)

This was my first time playing my lovely ukulele at a public performance (instead of a jam night, which is an entirely different can of beans), and it also was my first actual performance after an extended hiatus. I felt comfortable with Enna (the OOK!), and even though we were combating poor acoustics, ultimately, I'm very glad I stuck with her instead of switching to guitar like I had been previously considering. Quite simply, I'm a much better ukulele-ist than I am a guitarist, and my comfort level shows when I'm on stage.

All in all, it was a good experience — felt good to be back on stage! — and I hope that the theatre was able to raise lots of money.
