UPDATE OCTOBER 9, 2020 (Patreon)

Everyone -
Thank you for your patience with me. I apologize for not being as vocal as I would've liked to have been on this platform.
I have been buried writing this book but the good news it I am finished with the latest draft. The book was without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done in my professional life and one of the hardest things in any capacity. It took so much out of me but I'm extremely proud of it and according to the handful of people that have read it, it's THE BEST BOOK THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN.
All kidding aside, it's funny and more than just funny. I worked as hard as I could to make it special and I'm excited for it to come out next year so you can all see what I was blathering about.
I also spent the last month working on a video for the band the Postal Service. We made a sequel to the "Postal Service Auditions" video from seven years ago, but this time the goal was to promote effective voting. We got a lot of people to contribute their time and talent in the name of a good cause. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkF-Njy3Te8&feature=youtu.be !
Now that these things are relatively under control, here's the news in a nutshell:
1) The Best Show will come back in October. It is time. I am currently figuring out studio stuff and hardware stuff so we can do it right. But it's coming back. Thanks for being patient. I have a lot I want to accomplish with it!
2) SO FAR, etc: The bonus shows will happen Probably the CSNY one first, but we will see. I know I dropped the ball with this stuff but all I can say is that the pressure of the book combined with real world horrors and personal things made the act of doing The Best Show difficult. But I still believe in it and I will continue to do it. Thanks again for the patience.
3) Donations: As I said, I am not keeping any of the money that the Patreon brought in while there were no new Best Shows. I have been donating money to a variety of charities over the last couple months and I will list them on the page over the next week or so. The info is all over the place so I want to get it right. Hang tight and know that I don't take your donations for granted. The money will either go to The Best Show or it will get put to work helping people.
4) Double Threat: I am doing a podcast with Julie Klausner on the Forever Dog network called DOUBLE THREAT. It has been fun and it helped me hold onto my sanity while I figured out all things book and Best Show. Double Threat is going to continue and it will be a brother/sister to The Best Show.
Thanks again for the support and caring and kind words. And remember IT IS CALLED THE BEST SHOW FOR A REASON.
Peace and love, peace and love -
Tom
