I'm hosting a poetry slam

I'm hosting a poetry slam tonight and you know what? I'm nervous. I haven't been on stage since I hosted the Erotica Slam in February 2001. I get nervous because I want to be the best. I want people to leave that night and think I'm the wittiest host they've ever seen. Failure of any kind scares me. Mediocrity scares me, too. Hold me, I'm scared.

I told my little sister I was nervous, and she said, "You'll be great. Because I'm great and it probably runs in the family."
