0:00.0	Hey all, before we get started, I want to talk about the live lesbian dating show that I'll be hosting for June.
0:06.7	For three years, y'all have been in my DMs telling me how hard it is to find other queer women,
0:12.0	how hard it is to date, so I've decided to put myself in the mix. I want to solve this problem.
0:19.1	We'll all be gathering at City Winery in Boston,
0:22.0	Philly, and New York. I will be hand-selecting all of the daters from the submissions that I'm
0:27.1	receiving now. If you haven't submitted yet, go to the link in all of my social bios,
0:32.2	fill out the Google Forum, and send a video. I want to get to know you, see what your vibe
0:37.3	is so that I can really try to
0:39.1	intentionally pair all together. Each show will have two main daters, and then two contestants
0:46.0	that will date those main daters. We'll be using some questions that I use in the podcast,
0:51.4	like, what are you working on in therapy therapy and you holler, you ghost,
0:55.0	to try to find your true match. If you're coupled up, still come to the show. Be nosy, meet some
1:01.2	friends. It's just a time to be in community. And mostly, I want to see all of y'all. I want to be
1:06.9	with y'all. I feel like it's finally time. So please go to the link in the show notes
1:12.6	to purchase tickets or to become a dater or find the link in all of my bios on all of our
1:19.3	social pages. Okay, I cannot wait to finally be in person with y'all. I love you. Please enjoy
