Bombing at a Detroit DIY show
During a DIY tour, Sarah performed at a punk house in Detroit where the crowd was rowdy and the floor was made of dirt. One audience member held a lit candle in her face, heckling her with a silent flame. Another person in the back scribbled on the walls with crayons. Amidst the chaos, a Juggalo named Freshness silently watched the show and later gave Sarah a drawing with a note thanking her for her Chicago comedy.
