Hey, it's me, Memorial Day weekend. I know traditionally I exist to celebrate other things,

but I do appreciate that given the name of the holiday, you are celebrating by listening

to something that once was weekly but isn't anymore. It's this podcast. Before we continue

my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements.

Hello, how's it going? Been a little bit. What you are going to listen to today is a live show that we performed in Chicago, Illinois on August 19th, 2021. I was joined by Johnny. We did a bracket to determine what the best magical item is. It was very fun, and I'm very excited for you to listen to it. But let's just do a couple of quick announcements here before we get into that. First, if you are looking for some live shows to attend, whether you want to be there in person or digitally via a live stream, well, boy, oh boy, do I have good news for you. We have a lot of shows on the docket for the rest of 2022. The ones that have already been announced are Indianapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Asbury Park, Jacksonville, and St. Louis. But we've added five new shows. The first new show that we've added

is a live stream show. So if you want to watch the Chicago Sunday brunch show that we are doing on June 19th, you can watch that stream. If you go to potteralespodcast.com slash live, you'll see that there is a link for live stream tickets for the Chicago show. And that live stream you can watch live. It's at 1 p.m. Eastern time, but you also with your ticket, get access to a replay for one full week after the show. So if that time isn't good for your time zone or your schedule or you just want to watch the show at a different time or maybe you want to watch a show multiple times, that is okay. Tickets are just 10 bucks and you get access to that replay for a full week. So go to potterospodcast.com slash live to check that out. But in addition to that live stream show, we have four in-person shows that I'm happy to announce. The tickets are not on sale quite yet, but let me give you the heads up for those dates. First, on August 31st, we will be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The pre-sale for that, it's with City Winery, Philadelphia. So if you are a City Winery VIP member, you can get pre-sale access on June 1st, and the tickets go on public sale on June 3rd. And then we have three shows. All the tickets are going to go live on June 6th. That is for Salt Lake City on September 11th, for Portland, Oregon on September 25th, and for Dallas, Texas on October 9th.

I'm going to post a little update thing to the Potterless feed next week, but once that goes up, you can get tickets. June 6th, those all go live. And again, you can always go to potterlesspodcast.com slash live to see where we are going, where you can get tickets, and what shows are on the horizon. I'd love to see you there, especially I'd love to see your digital face on the live stream. You can access that anywhere at any time as long as you get the

internet and I'm very much. horizon. I'd love to see you there, especially I'd love to see your digital face on the live

stream. You can access that anywhere at any time as long as you get the internet. And I'm very

excited to have a stream show for all the folks who live in cities that I'm not able to perform

in quite yet. And the fun doesn't stop there. I'm also happy to announce that I will be officially

a featured guest as a part of LeakyCon 2022. I will be at both LeakyCon's, the one that's in Orlando, July 29th to the 31st, and the one that's in Denver on October 14th through the 16th. The schedule isn't set yet, so I don't know exactly what I will be doing on each of the days, but I should be doing something all of the days. So if you are getting just a one-day

ticket, there's a pretty good chance that I'll be performing, but it's not confirmed yet. And if you do want to get tickets to those, if you use the promo code potterless at leakycon.com to get tickets, you'll get 10% off. So that's pretty sweet. So that's what I've got in terms of announcements. I'm going to be talking about some more stuff during the midroll break, but let's get into this live show where Johnny and I determined the best magical item live in Chicago, Illinois.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Now, please welcome the stage.
