Patreon Newsletter #5: February! (Patreon)

Uh ohhhh! Love day is coming up! The one day of the year it's ok to eat chocolate over a candle while wearing lingerie made of roses! We love you Patrons! Will you be our Valentine?

SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS & MESSAGES!

Adal's February Playlist and message: 

Hey you nasty lil' booty butts! 

For recommendations this month: 

1. for tv - Jemma and I caught up on Brooklyn 99! We just started Letterkenny which is so goddamn weird but I'm here for it. Infinity Train is rocking my world. Please check that out if you haven't yet!

2. for film - Haven't had a chance to see much but 1917 was really well done and worth a view if you can handle the anxiety. 

3. for video games - Finished God of War just the other day! Going to play the new COD and then The Last of Us. I'm curious to play Bloodborne but it sounds like it might be a bit too punishing? 

4. for board games - January was fairly non-stop so I haven't really had time to play much but I did just buy Escape From Iron Gate (made by The Escape Game which is a fantastic escape room chain) which I'm excited to dig into. Also while in Seattle I played something that game designer/wonderful friend, Paul Peterson is working on and I'm giddy for it to see the light of day! 

5. for books - besides Exhalation by Ted Chiang which I recommended on the podcast, I absolutely loved Tom King's collected run on The Vision. Not a character I've ever cared about, but hot shit that was a fantastic story. 

Just today I got back from a quick vacation with some friends (Hi Anne, Chris & Keith!) to Houston to play 4 Escape Rooms and I'd be foolish to not HIGHLY RECOMMEND Strange Bird's escape room/immersive theater piece: The Man From Beyond. They recently got ranked #3 Escape Room in the world so if you're ever in the area go check it out! https://strangebirdimmersive.com/

ALSO went to a tiki bar with some NASA folks called Lei Low and it's immediately one of my all time favorites. I may go back to Houston simply for their drinks. If you go hit me up and I'll tell you my favorite items on the menu!

Other updates are: Jemma and I have been planning a ton for our 2 weeks in Japan! If you have recs please let me know! We're doing 2 weeks and going to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I'm also working on 4 new projects that I hope folks get to enjoy soon but WHO KNOWS! 

Here's my Spotify playlist! It's a mix of my favorite love songs and songs I hope to one day do a striptease to. Can you determine which is which? (Hint: Heart's - Alone is 10000% a striptease song) Also I correlate a lot of cheesy 80's songs with love so please forgive me!

For Feb I also wanted to just post a few sketches I love if you're ever looking for something to watch!

1. My favorite sketch from Sid Cesar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNbT9Lf9xZo

2. One of my all-time favorite SNL sketches that I don't think ever gets mentioned. Super dumb simple premise, played perfectly: https://vimeo.com/154522723

Hello February newsletter!

I’ve been busy! I had to go to the dentist 5 times in the last 9 days (not a joke) but because of this I’ve been burning through Love Island. I’m half way through season 4. Do you have a favorite season? Please let me know! 

I made this playlist for you to listen on Valentine’s Day while you have a cupcake and wine in the shower! Do it for me! In the name of self love!
