The party was a really amazing experience because of the wide range people who were there–family, high school friends, college friends, even my doctor from fifteen years ago when I had cancer. Everyone.
Usually you have to wait for your wedding or your funeral to assemble a group like that. Luckily, I beat the system by holding a book release party.
The room’s capacity was 150. We exceeded that. Between nine and ten it was so crowded you could barely move.
The first thing they teach you in motivational speaker school is how to turn any piece of furniture into a makeshift stage.
You may recognize both of these guys from their hilarious cameos in my new video, The Amputee Rap.
