I agree with the comments posted. I think between the noise of the restaurant guests outside our room (with the service door open), and the racket in the bar area, it was even difficult for me to hear, and I was sitting up front. I did close the door and that helped. I did wonder if the mic needed to be louder given where he was holding it. I should have turned it up. This was one of Trey's first attempts to conquer his fear of speaking in public (I didn't realize this beforehand...and it was quite a brave thing to do with 40 folks). He will get better with practice, and David and I offered a few pointers we learned in the Toastmaster's program.

He was better than he thought he was. Perhaps had the mic been louder, I could've heard a bit better, but he was good. And good to see a sizeable crowd during a Holiday week.

Trey was great, I laughed at the jokes, and know I'm sure he improves with every visit!

Trey Garrison’s secret identity is working as a mild-mannered journalist, editor, humorist, opinionist, consultant, entrepreneur, and part-time sybarite. Maybe the best word to describe him is racontrepreneur.

Better yet, “Writer of Wrongs”
