Look, if you didn’t want people watching you, then why run lines in a public place?
And will you not also be center of attention during the performance said lines are for?
I suppose a birthday is aa good a place as any to test your public speaking…
At least my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.
I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don’t recognize anyone, and someone thinks I’m a visitor who didn’t grow up there, I’m going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.
Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.
