TBC 30 day challenge - Day 6
Does H&P in the hotel count as a walkout? I was not walked...out... but I got that before I got a proper walkout.
First actual walkout was Pat, not until my 19th show. And it was nice? But weird? I think I had skewed expectations from hearing other people talk about walkouts, about following somebody and then getting the walkout from them and getting to sincerely thank them for their performance. Which is obviously a most beautiful way to end a show.
I hadn't followed Pat, I hadn't followed this particular performer at all in fact, ever. Most of my walkouts have been of this 'random' variety. And I'm sure that most walkouts are like that! There's only been 2-3 times when I felt like I'd been picked for a walkout, as opposed to randomly happening to be in the right place at the right time. And naturally those are the most special ones, and the ones I like to talk about, the ones I'll brag about because someone quoted Bartok to me or someone noticed that I'd been following them loads and that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Aaaaand I just turned a prompt explicitly asking me about my first walkout into an excuse to talk about my more exciting walkouts. So you can see why I was maybe a bit let down by a perfectly adequate walkout, if everyone talks about their bestest most specialest ones.
