Dear fam:
On Thursday, August 29th, Joshua and I are ENDING RACISM!!
Yes, our yearlong residency at Sacred Fools Theater is coming to an end so we thought that, gosh, what a simple way to go out - let's talk about "RACE!"
Catch the show and, afterwards, we can stop at the taco truck and grab a drink at The Plunge!
Love,
Joe
p.s. My picks for TV these days:
GLOW, Mr. Mercedes & Last Week Tonight. What are yours?
