Hello and welcome to our second and a half annual cryptids unscripted slam poetry event

and live auction.

My name is Christine Sheeper, aka the her scene shifter.

And here's my co-host for the day.

It's me.

It's Charles.

This is not the energy we're bringing.

Oh, take it up.

Tom, take it up.

I just wanted to apologize for our silliness of the first time around.

It wasn't even my heart thing.

It was a new thing.

So, it's where it's a mess.

But here's the thing.

It's like what we were ready to rock and roll despite the health issue you were having.

And then, unfortunately, this stream just did not work.

And I had actually thrown out to Los Angeles specifically for this event.

And when M had the health issue come up, Eva, poor Eva, who was behind the scenes running

this event stepped in to chill M's shoes and the ultra homie.

Like, I mean, within five seconds.

I can't, I know.

I have a stage fright, but like for someone who probably never has to worry about that
