Being an MC: my heart's desire!

Work hard. Don't let anyone discourage or get to you. You'll end up where you need to be.

Another thing, don't be afraid to embarass yourself and make comments mocking the local sports team (like mock The Detroit Red Wings outside of Detroit at Ford Sweet Repeat )

Ha ha!! Andy Grady did the almost exact same thing when we were in NYC this year.
He was one of two Announcers at the NYC regional on Saturday, and made a comment like "Now as you may know I am from Massachusettes and am a big Red Sox Fan.." which brought a huge response from the crowd, and a outbreak of laughter by me, and then he continued, "But, since I am in NYC now, I want to hear everyone here who is a Yankee fan make some noise" in which a deafening roar was heard by the audience.

Sometimes, you have to put a personal touch on the event, and make fun of yourself to a certain extent.

I actually think I mentioned how in Boston we think Yankees fans are loudmouths too. So, I asked to hear all the loudmouths! Sometimes, ya gotta sacrifice yourself to get a crowd going.

It's OK to mock the Red Wings anywhere including Detroit.

The Lions more so.

"How do you keep the Lions out of your yard?" "Put up some goal posts."

A wonderful person to contact is Ron Partridge (is that how you spell his name?). Along with not being able to spell his name, I have no idea of how to contact him, just that you should. He's a great guy and an excellent MC, full of great FIRST stories.
