Chapters

Like, I gotta try to coordinate. So like right now I'm like trying to coordinate. Justin wanted to go 5 minutes later, so we're doing 5 minutes later for Justin. And then we gotta fix what does Justin want, a mic, like a handheld or lapel? So we're trying to figure that out. Then Kelsey's after Justin. Kelsey wants a lapel, but then he wants a song that's played at a certain moment. So we're trying to figure that out. Then we're working on transitions to the 3rd panel with Selena, one of the hosts. She's actually moderating the panel. So then I gotta bring that transition back up. So the transition I planned has gotta change. So yeah, it's welcome to life of the— welcome to life of an MC.
