Hello, higher side chatters.

How the hell are you?

Holding in there I hope, despite the dystopian downslide and the control demolition of the American

Empire.

Thank you, Charlie Robinson.

But hey, listen.

You know it's pretty rare that I do some sort of news update or anything like that.

But I still after 10 years just haven't found the best way to communicate stuff to you guys.

I've seen updates on the end of two hour interviews.

But I know the score.

We want to get into the content quickly.

I'm always trying to be good about that.

Nothing more annoying than 8 minutes of sponsorship ads or a long preamble before bringing

in the guest.

But I got a few things to throw out, so a dedicated update seems worth it.

First and foremost is the Austin, Texas, higher side chats, rune soup, crossover event.

We had big plans to do like an on stage thing and a live Q&A and we just hit too many roadblocks.

Venues wanted too much money, but then they also couldn't provide chairs or drinks or

food or something.

We just had a lot of logistical issues.

But then the clouds parted and one of Gordon's people presented him with a great venue that

has food and drink and we decided to screw it.
