Hello everyone. The group hit our home hard this past weekend, so I'm not sure how long my voice

will hold out, but let's give it a shot. We have a few items to discuss before we meet our next

non-welsie resident. Firstly, I've gone and changed my mind. Charging a dollar for these out of

the swell stories began to feel so tedious, so I'm not going to do it. I'll just post them here

once a month as promised for free, like library books. Let's jet set, shall we? Though travel was

at the height of tediousness recently, wasn't it? With all the religious intolerance and xenophobia and such.

Head on over to ghostsandthebirbs.com where I've included links to the donation pages at

the American Refugee Committee and the ACLU. Send your dollars there way. Resist.

We need to recognize someone this week. Ms. Gay Foreign was the very first to donate $5

per month through the podcast over at Patreon. Buying the golden once in a lifetime,

no it's not a pyramid scheme, opportunity. Tavern named used an alias for one of my haunted friends.

I'm saying it loud and proud and have repeated it every day since I transcribed this interview.

Thank you Gay. The friend your moniker represents is a complicated one. She's a touch,

conflicted, anxious, and fancy. But aren't we all these days? If you would like to have your name

used to represent one of my haunted friends, head on over to Patreon. The link is at ghostinthebirbs.com.

You got two spots left, so snap them up if you'd like.

All right, we have a trip to make. Though I warn you, it won't be a relaxing one.
