As I posted last Wednesday, I had competed at my Toastmasters club's Humorous Speech Contest using the 'Phoenix' speech. Having been to 'Phoenix', I believe that this speech is giving the town more notoriety than it may rightfully deserve, but so be it.
So, how did I do? Out of three contestants, I came in first. And I learned that it was NOT a landslide so I have some work to do before I compete at the Area Contest two weeks from tomorrow.
We actually had two contests. The humorous speech contest and the evaluation contest. In the latter, all contestants (we had 9) listen to a test speaker. We are then given 5 minutes to prepare our notes. Then all the contestants, except for the one who drew to go first, are escorted out of the room and each contestant gives a 1 to 2 minute evaluation. Once the contestant has finished they can stay in the room. I am happy to say that I placed first in that contest as well.
I guess that makes me a double-wiener.
Wish me luck for both contests!

Luck for both contests...:)
The area contest is 3 weeks from tomorrow! Our next club meeting is 2 weeks from tomorrow! You get an extra week to practice!
"And there was much rejoicing. Yay."
Congratulations! And as a resident of the lovely metropolitan Phoenix area, may I say (as I answered you on my blog) that a) your speech was funny; b) it really is usually a much "dryer" heat (it's been muggy here for all of August which just sucks); and, c) nobody drives around naked - you'd burn your buns off!
Good luck in your next contest!!!
Well, now I know the answer, don't I?
Congratulations.
