HRR Patreon Newsletter #2: November! (Patreon)

Remember Remember the first of November? Sure why not!

Welcome to another HRR Patreon exclusive newsletter from us hosts! We hope you had the most wonderful Halloween and are bracing yourselves for the sudden whiplash rush towards the rest of the holiday seasons. Here in Chicago we got several inches of snow on Halloween. What a fucking delight that was! 

Adal and Erin recently got back from Grand Rapids where they headlined the Grand Rapids Improv Festival and taught some workshops! It was a fantastic time and we found the most amazing tiki bar: Max's South Seas Hideway. So please check that out and if you're ever in Grand Rapids go check out shows at The Comedy Project. 

Don't forget today is the Netflix release of the new Queer Eye in Japan series! 

SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS!

Adal's November Playlist and message: 

For recommendations this month: 

I'm reading and loving Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull. It's the story behind and philosophy of PIXAR. There's plenty of fascinating anecdotes about their success and failures and the best part is learning about their process and what they do to ensure everyone feels like they're set up for success in a creative environment. 

I'm also a few chapters from being done with John Hodgman's newest, Medallion Status which is a quick and delightful read. 

I'm still battling it out with Fire Emblems: 3 Houses but I also just bought Luigi's Mansion 3 so I might dip my spooky toes in that for a bit to have some dumb fun. If anyone has a Switch game they recommend please let me know!

Jemma and I just started watching Brooklyn 99 from the beginning because we had only seen a few episodes each so that's been a goddamn delight. 

here's my Spotify playlist! it's mostly just songs I love and/or have been rattling around in my head recently: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gqeQSreHGxidml4Ilodpv?si=5hssd6GnSfKiVMtO0FHZBw 

Fries and Brisket are being as adorable as ever. Find their dumb little faces on Instagram at: friesandbrisket (https://www.instagram.com/friesandbrisket/)

You can hear me on one of this weeks new episodes of You're The Man Now Dog podcast which I recorded with Dan Lippert and Ryan Rosenberg while I was in LA to see a friend of mine play the Hollywood Bowl! Which, my oh my that's an incredible venue. Although I still hear the best things about Red Rocks. Gotta go someday. Anyway, PLEASE check out You're The Man Now Dog podcast, it's truly my favorite thing right now and it was even before I guested. Erin is also now obsessed so that's 2 reasons to check it out. We listened to several episodes on our drive back from the Grand Rapids Improv Festival. You can find some free episodes wherever you listen to podcasts (I highly recommend the episode with Lauren Lapkus) or subscribe to their Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/YoureTheManNowDog 

If you're looking for other Patreon content besides podcasts, I highly recommend supporting Emily Kardamis who helped create all of our logos and is just an overall amazing human! You can find her page here: https://www.patreon.com/corruptedgem . She just designed a kick ass Challenge Coin for Hello From the Magic Tavern you can find here: https://topatoco.com/products/hmt-silenteye-coin?_pos=5&_sid=88bfc4bd3&_ss=r 

Lastly, if you're in the Chicagoland area and want to see some musical theater, a friend of mine is in a production of Anything Goes! You can check out info here: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=rstc 

Erin's November Playlist and message: 

Ok hello! Good morning!

First things First! I have a web series that came out and you can find every episode here!

 I’ve  had this playlist requested a couple of times so this is what I’m doing  for November! This is Erin’s Musical Theater mix! So I included my  favorite song from a lot of musicals I love( not every single musical-I  know I left a lot out ) 

The best way to listen to this is  putting it on shuffle and if you hear a song you like-stop listening and  go listen to that entire musical! Have fun! Happy Thanksgiving.

Once we can release all details we'll be letting you Patrons know first. 

We also have new D&D episodes in the work for Patreon release! We're insanely excited to bring back Rush Howell to DM and revisit our characters for more adventure!

Adal, Erin & JPC aka The Clue Crew
