    I'm also happy to "officially" announce my participation in this year's DBSA STAND-UP COMEDY WITH DAVID GRANIRER (SATURDAY, MAY 21, 7:30 pm. – 9:00 p.m.) David Granirer is a stand-up comic and founder of Stand Up for Mental Health. A consumer who lives with Depression, he is also a counselor, speaker, and author.  All participants take his customized correspondent stand-up class via conference calls, e-mail, and Skype. This way when all us Newbies get up on stage, we won't bomb too badly!

    Are you going to the DBSA conference?  Don't miss the presentation in the comedy show!  Make sure you let me know you'll be there, maybe we can meet up for a cup of coffee.
