0:00.0	Hey, Quero's Cammy here. I wanted to let you know because I'm actually recording this
0:09.8	the day before Thanksgiving, something about what has happened for me in the last year.
0:15.2	You know, when the pandemic started, I was supposed to go on a book tour, then go to
0:20.2	the Edinburgh French Festival, then do an off-broadway run. All of those were live performance
0:25.1	dates, which is how I still make most of my income. When that dried up, I switched to Zoom events
0:30.5	with a donation model. And right now, I'm doing collaborative events with Dynasty typewriter.
0:35.9	In fact, I've got three more home for the holidays, home for the all the days, shows coming up
0:42.9	on December 23rd, one on January 19th, our last night of the Stupid Current Administration,
0:50.0	and one on February 13th. That's like a Christmas and holiday show in December,
0:55.2	an election inauguration, get him the fuck out of here special in January, and a Valentine's
1:01.6	event in February. Now, because of you, I have been able to throughout the pandemic, donate back

1:19.6	run this show. That is what is so cool about my community. For this particular show, we've
1:27.2	got some really awesome patrons like Fiona Ding, Jamie, Danny Elkorn, Jennifer Hunt, Audrey,
1:33.6	Rower, Catherine Michaels, Rachel McIntyre, Hannah Booth, Brittany Carlson, Chloe Vicker,
1:38.7	Courtney Ross, and Kevin Frye. If you'd like to support this show, you can go to patreon.com
1:43.5	slash heyqueeros and get in the know about the special perks that we have, you may think on the
1:50.1	show, but also you can just support something that you love. If it's your preferred method to hang
1:56.8	out and see a live show, then please come to those shows with Dynasty typewriter. All that information
2:01.7	will be on my socials. It's really been amazing to be able to make sure that the community I'm a
2:06.9	part of continues to thrive in the small ways that I have been able to, and it's really all because
