I'll try to keep this limited and not let it become one of the novels I occasionally write on here, but another big milestone last night. It was the last show of my week at the comedy club here in town and I had made the decision after my show on thursday before the two-day off break for Christmas Eve and Day, that I would wear my kilt again for the show that night, because it was something I was scared of and so I wanted to conquer that fear. I wanted to see if the things I had done on tuesday night in order to get the crowd to relax and let me do my crossdressing material would work again, so I can make it a regular move when I do shows in areas.
Well around noon as I was sitting on the couch at my computer and my dad asked me if I was going to be at the club that night, and I said yeah, and he said maybe he and my mom would come to the show. Well, I had a moment where I could have decided to go the easy route and wear pants again. But I didn't, instead I said "That'd be nice, but you should know I'm wearing my kilt tonight and I'm going to talk about my crossdressing." He asked if it would make me nervous to have him and mom there, I said it would a little but not enough for me to not want to have them there. I said I was only telling them what I was doing because I didn't want them to be uncomfortable.
Well they had me make them reservations at the show and they came, and it went pretty well. I actually had my mom hold my Flip camera that she got me for christmas, so I should have some video of the set to post sometime soon, I need to watch it first to see how it looks/sounds. The set itself went fine, about the same as my set on tuesday so I was happy there. My parents didn't seem all that uncomfortable with how I was dressed, they hugged me and all that in the bar after the show before I had to rush out to do another show at a bar in town that my friends run, but all in all, it feels really nice that I can be so open with myself both with my family and my profession.
NOTE: I will likely not be posting the video clips as I've watched them now and feel they're not really useable, my mom was holding the flip cam pretty unsteadily and the footage is pretty shaky.
