I'll keep this short. We have a Patreon. And lately the amount on that Patreon has gone down.

While income from live shows and merch do obviously help, the Patreon is still the main way that

we make this show and pay all the people involved, both behind the scenes and, you know, in front of

please consider it. It helps the show exist. And we have all sorts of cool rewards, like

Director's Notes on every episode, Zoom Hangs with the Cast and Crew, add free versions of every

episode, and even having yourself inserted as a character into the show, yes, you could become

an actual citizen of Nightfail. To help us out, go to welcometonightfail.com and click on donate.

Please consider doing that and enjoy the show goodbye.

buzz marketing street teams located them. But that would mean going to a place from which no one

has ever returned. The remote cave lands of the baristas, deep under the earth, where

Eretrian pour over drips gently from stalactites and latte foam rivers froth and bubble in cool,

stone cracks. We're all pretty sure the cave lands are under that grate behind the A's hardware.

But no one goes down there because of the stench of espresso and the chilling sounds of

Carly Simon's greatest hits CD. The underground society of the baristas is an insular one,

and no outsider has met their king. Did you know that baristas have a king? I mean, I did,
