Hey, everybody, it's Monday, June 22nd, 2026. I'm Alison Gill. And I'm Dana Goldberg, and this is Beans Talk.

All right, everybody, hello. First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our patrons who came to the gala on Saturday in Chicago.

Our party, it was incredible.

We had 200 seats filled.

We had some amazing food.

We drank cocktails and mocktails.

And we got to watch the incredible and incomparable Dana Goldberg deliver a comedy routine.

And then we got to see Tig Nataro.

Yeah, Tig was awesome. Thank you for bringing her in. And just an incredible night. Our community is pretty damn extraordinary. So if you ever hear, if you're a patron, first of all, wonderful. But if you ever hear Allison say, we're having a gala for our patrons, and I'm going to send out an email get your ticket soon get your

ticket soon I think this one in 48 hours they were gone in two hours in two hours they were gone

pardon me in two hours they were gone they were swept up our next gala is election night you can come

and watch election results live with me in San Diego.

Now, another thing that's going to be happening in Chicago, and if you haven't been to Chicago or you've been meaning to go back,

September 23rd is the day that you want to go back because Dana Goldberg is going to be doing a full hour of comedy.

Where are you at in that fine windy city?

It is the Den, the Den Comedy. So the Den Theater. It's a great 300-person venue. Tickets are already going fast. So if you are watching this, you want to be in Chicago, you're near Chicago. Go to Dana Goldberg.com, hit my tour schedule, and you can get tickets. They're super reasonable. So I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar

faces that went last year and some new people that weren't able to buy tickets because last year

sold out so quickly. So I just can't wait to see you, Chicago. It's one of my favorite cities.

Mine too, top five at least. Had such a wonderful time. And we're going to be sharing photos

here on Bean's Talk over the coming days. But we're

still putting all that together. So we will check back if you want to see it. And send your

photos into us. DailyBeans.com and click on contact and send us some good news and attach your
