Other Stuffs:

Jemma and I went to Vegas for a couple days to visit her step-sister and ended up seeing U2 at The Sphere which was bonkers. We also saw Jim Jefferies do a show and had a phenomenal meal at Lotus of Siam - which may be the best Thai I’ve had

The Emmet Otter musical in Chicago was an absolute delight. I definitely got emotional seeing those lil puppets (the characters puppets half the time and people in costume the other half) sing their songs

Enjoyed the comic book series Eight Billion Genies - the concept is ‘one day everyone on Earth gets a genie who will grant 1 wish’

Enjoyed the new Saga TPB - volume 11

Jemma and I went to Warlord - a new restaurant in Chicago. We’re obsessed and are planning to go back often

I was recently a guest on video game podcast Sights Unseen

The most recent episode of the Tell Me About It podcast was with Josh Gondelman talking about ‘Dunks’ - it was a blast to record

I saw ‘Betty Boop the Boop-Doop-a-Dusical’. I’d give it a Boop-Doop-a-B-minus

We rang in the New Year playing Blood on the Clock Tower with some friends which was delightful

We’ve got a Magic Tavern live show in Chicago next Thursday the 11th. You can find tix here

We also have a Magic Tavern San Francisco Sketchfest show on Saturday February 3rd - tix here

Love

From JPC:

Hey Riddiots -

Happy New Year! Nothing from me for this month. Going forward, I’ll be updating when I have something to recommend but there might be some months where I don’t. But if there is something show-related, I’ll throw it in the bottom section of the Newsletter.
