NINJATED 2023: And that's a wrap….with photos galore. (Patreon)

Hi Loves.

It’s my birthday and I know I told you I was going to put my phone in a drawer and I AM BUT I had to come and Thing the Final Thing of the month before scurrying away. Last night in Boston was an absolute triumph and my heart is full of love. There is much to tell and show and I will….later.

Let me just say thank you to all of you who held me in your arms last night. It was so. so fucking special.

…..

Meanwhile. I'm here to do the official Thinging of NINJATED 2023..!!!

The WHOLE PROGRAM OF PERFORMERS, with their official bios and links, lives here forever: https://www.patreon.com/posts/81081783

YOU CAN STILL DONATE! If you can, the link is HERE, and every little bit helps: https://events.foodbank.bc.ca/fundraiser/ninjated

So far, between ticket sales, merch sales, donations on the night and through the online link, and a portion of the Patreon funds from this very post (after paying for the livestream costs), we've raised a total of $15,305.53 to donate to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, which is just..... amazing.

We did that. :)

You can still rewatch the livestream here (anyone can!)
