As former Standup Comedian, we had a running Rule that if at LEAST 10 people showed up the SHOW (and the JOKES) MUST GO ON. And sometimes I have played to an audience of TWO--including ME!!
This is huge man! I've never closed for Sonic Youth, but it makes sense that 100% of people don't see the work you keep to yourself. It only takes one and then the snowball comes. Cheers for this a good kick up the ass.
Really great advice. I am looking at these beginning stages as a way to figure out what works. I much rather figure this out now at 100 versus 1000. The people will come - I need to be ready to serve them when they arrive.
Love this.
thank you, Peter!

Absolutely!! Make your mistakes now in front of 100, so you don't make them with 1,000 watching!
So true, and very apt seeing as I just got my 12th subscriber today! 😆
Heck yes - each new post is a shot at winning someone over, and them hitting subscribe. Keep it going!
This is great advice!
