Two Years of Stand-up Comedy

Posted on August 19, 2012 by Matt Aromando

Today is my second anniversary of performing stand-up. I don’t care much for (mostly) meaningless dates but I’ve thought about it recently and realized that the first two years have been pretty distinct from each other. In the first year, … Continue reading →

One Year in Blogging

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Matt Aromando

As of today, this blog is one-year-old (or maybe because it’s still an infant we should say 12-months). It doesn’t really feel like it’s been that long, which is good because that means it didn’t end up being a chore, a fear … Continue reading →
