Welcome everybody. I am in such a good mood. I had such a great night at the time I'm recording this I just had my very first ever stand-up science show. It was an incredible success. It sold out. The show is

fantastic. People absolutely loved it. Went crazy for it. And as promised, you guys helped to spread the word for the first show

It was a success so I'm rebooking

Madison gonna do it again in three months aiming for January there There might be a little wiggle room there. I don't have

the date exactly locked in, but it will be locked in very soon after this Midwest run is complete complete and then I'm adding another city I have

Asheville North Carolina locked in for February as promised if these first shows

It's kind of a one-man operation.

And so I'm doing a lot of this stuff on my own, including the marketing, so anything you guys can do to help would be appreciated

with spreading the word for Minneapolis, October 17th, Chicago, October 18th, Milwaukee,

October 21st, Des Moines, Iowa, October 25th,

Portland, Oregon, November 1st, Seattle, Washington, November 8th,

Tacoma, Washington, November 15th.

Again, the format of the show is me hosting.

I warm up the crowd with 15, 20 minutes of science-related material

and some my ideas about life that I've been influenced by what I've learned on this podcast and in various
