HOLA

i'm still recovering from the weekend. holy shiitake.

reading your comments in the virtual signing lines is making me cry. you are all so eloquent and soulful and goddam i just love this community so much.

neil and i finally saw each other today for the first time in ages, both having toured the west coast all weekend, and we actually made out in the streets of oakland today like a couple of high-schoolers instead of two tired married people. that's how happy we were to see each other. 

we also got a little sad around the edges because we're spending so little time together lately and it's all starting to feel so lost-y. we are both out there doing our big, important, club-swinging work and our little lives feel swallowes, sometimes. we try not to forget. we took a walk. i have a great photo of neil in front of a pizza parlor called the leaning tower of pizza that i will post to instragram when i'm not so tired. i'm so tired. still. this weekend drained my essence. 

first things first

here's the group photo we took in LA!!!! you guys are bananas.

to the pink-haired woman who told her abortion story to the group: thank you. i'm sorry i didn't get to find you in the film booth at the show. i hope you got to talk to Father Michael about your story anyway....i wound up getting stuck backstage for most of the night.

for any of you that DID wind up in the secret film booth....stay tuned. i don't know exactly what we're gonna do with the footage, but we'll do something great. 

also from the groupd photo....check out this david mack-drawing  tattoo...based off a drawing he did for the occupy comic i wrote (it was about anthony, before he died):

here i am with a handful of the old-school postcard-level patrons after our brunch in LA. we had a great time talking life, patreon, and ideas....

some of these folks have been in this community since 2004. it was beautiful connecting with everybody. jamy ian swiss, who edited/doula'd my TED talk and The Art of Asking...in addition to editing the new There Will Be No Intermission Artbook, showed up with his partner Ann, matthew mercer from Critical Role showed up, and Jack Conte, the CEO of patreon, stopped by to add his soul. it was really nice. i love everybody.

and here's some fun photos from my day o' podcasts yesterday.....

"between the sheets" with brian foster from critical role:

(yes, that's me smoking a rare cigarette. i deserved it after that podcast, which made me cry four times. it's basically a post-coital cigarette).

and here's me with my old friend REGGIE WATTS, who acted as chauffer....

and here's me and rich roll....after the podcast we did in burbank. 

....both conversations were beautiful.

i'm learning so much from so many people.

i'll tell you when they're out.

love and hugs.

i'll be doing the atlanta ticket giveaway tomorrow...STAY TUNED.

back to bed. this mama is still pooped.

i love all y'all.
