What’s up Awesome Patrons?? Several of you expressed an interest in content to honor the September 11 Anniversary tomorrow, and I thought that was an EXCELLENT idea. ♥️ 

- First, tomorrow at 7:30pm CDT, we will have a live watch along in Discord of the movie United 93. Full disclosure, I have seen this movie once before, and I remember the gist of it, but I'm eager to watch it again with you. This will be presented in real time with your comments, and then I will upload the full reaction to Patreon for those who aren't able to join. 

- Second, I watched the musical Come from Away last night, and it was INCREDIBLE (even if you DON'T like musicals!). It tells the story of a small town in Newfoundland, Canada, which suddenly received 38 grounded flights on 9/11 carrying about 7,000 passengers and crew. The way that the small town took in and cared for thousands of passengers from all over the world without warning blew my mind. I had never heard of it until patron Jennifer Redmond recommended it, and I am so glad that she did! It was insanely engaging and beautifully produced.

I've provided the unblurred version up top via Streamable (just click the photo thumbnail), and the link for the blurred YouTube version can be found here: https://youtu.be/0StmTM-amcY. For those watching the YouTube version, remember that you'll need your own copy to sync up.

Thanks as always for your incredible support, and I hope you have a great rest of the day/night!

I’m so glad that you got to see this and you enjoyed it!! I found the soundtrack by accident and then fell in love with the show, there are a couple of documentaries on YouTube about Gander and 9/11 and about the show going to Gander. To see the actors with their real life counterparts is really cool! And yes, you were totally right about it being the pilot/Annette actress, that’s Jenn and she is amazing!

David vs. Film

Awesome! Yeah it was so great, thank you! :) A really moving but entertaining show. And I’m not kidding- I’m usually shifting a lot during musicals, but this one was not like that at all.

I got to see it live, with Jenn, on Broadway before it closed and I can be the same way, but i was pretty mesmerized by the whole show!

I have seen "Come from Away" dozens of time and thoroughly enjoyed watching it with you and your commentary. I also love that you do the full videos now as I no longer have AppleTV+ so wouldn't have been able to watch the full one with you. I want to watch the live one on Discord as well but can not find your Discord channel. I hope someone can give me that link before 9/11.
