Hello friends I'm feeling good. It's almost my birthday. It's summertime. Fourth of July

just happened even though I went to bed at 9.30 p.m. and didn't see one

fireworks because I'm a dork. But I'm going to step it up you know what today I'm

gonna start my birthday weekend off strong I think I'm gonna hit a happy hour I don't know I

don't know if there's time I'm just really excited because I'm going to be in my mid to late 20s again and

No, I'm just really excited. I'm in such a good mood lately

Maybe because I'm planning this amazing trip to Europe where I get to tour and do stand up and meet a bunch of you guys. I've been posting it on social media and a lot of you guys have responded that you're coming to shows and so I wanted to give my show dates before I introduce my fabulous

my guest is such a cool dude but before I do that I'm gonna give you my show dates so if you

happen to be in any of these places and some of them are also in

America I would love to see you all right on July 28th I'll be at the Hollywood

Improv on August 7th I will it, I'm probably saying it wrong, Paname Arte Cafe in Paris, France.

I posted on my social media which is Rachel N O'Brien R.A. E.L N. OO-B-R-I-E-N, that's August 7th in Paris, France.

On August 13th, I will be at the comedy crunch in Dublin, Ireland, and then for August 19th through 26 I will be at the Fringe Comedy Festival

in Edinburgh Scotland doing shows every night hanging out hoping to see you guys

I'm very very excited about it it just it's going to be a good

August a lot of the trip I'm traveling alone it's my first time traveling in Europe alone

I mean I've been there many times but I don't know it's kind of cool I'll be in Paris for like a week I mean I have family there but I'm going to be dining in cafes strolling along the river shopping just kind of doing a little bit of like an eat, pray, love experience.

And I'm kind of into it. I know that sounds corny, but you know, I had a weird year. I had, well, I had a good year, but also kind of a strange year with loss of friendships that I didn't know why I would, I lost until, you know, that's besides point.

And you know, some death in the family,

some just some interesting things,

but you know, overall when I look back,

it was a good year, it was a good growing year. I'm excited
