Bumbershoot Weekend: Or How I Learned to Exploit My Geekiness For Pizza
This week was a personal milestone for my comedy career, as my goal this year was to perform at the 40th annual Bumbershoot Festival.

It's truly a magical time. 
The girl can't help it; quesadillas are delicious.
The weekend started with five shows at the Comedy Underground hosting for the pound-explode master, Michael Kosta. Kosta is a former pro tennis player turned comedian who brings a hilariously cocky 'tude to the stage and a memorable hands-on experience full of fist pounds and hit-ons. I found myself very critical of each of my performances as I was counting down to Bumbershoot. If I had given into the fun of performing rather than nitpicking, my routine would have been stronger.
