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

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.
