There is a SECRET MESSAGE for you at the top of the stairs.
I will keep this short as I am writing to you from an airplane to SAN FRANCISCO and I’m not sure how long the wifi will last.*
SAN FRANCISCO is underlined (I just did it again!) because I am performing there tomorrow, and those are both links to buy tickets.
And I hope you will suggest to your Bay Area friends that they join us at our very special entertainment lagoon.
We have two live disputes between four live humans, and I am really hearing the cases: the outcome is unknown, which is very exciting, though more work for me to be honest.
But I can predict we will have cat videos, a tuba, two old friends, a report from a secret passage, and Jesse is going to sing one of my favorite songs.
So at the risk of being helpful: HERE AGAIN IS THE LINK TO BUY TICKETS. Share it with a friend.
OH AND YES I WILL BE SINGING THAT SONG I TALKED ABOUT, AND IF YOU ATTEND THE SHOW ON SATURDAY, YOU SHOULD SING THE CHORUS WITH ME AS WE DISCUSSED.
I also want to apologize to AUTUMN MOWERY FROM THE BOWLING ALLEY, whom I referred to a couple of times last week as AMANDA, which is her mom’s name.
I’m sorry, Autumn! Please support candlepin if you can HERE.
Also: here is news for those of you who live in New York or know how to get there.
I’ll be a guest on the great Jordan Klepper’s live political talk/game show on Feb 10 at The Bell House, and you can get tickets HERE.
And an item for all of you at sea…
It is true that I am sailing on the Jonathan Coulton Cruise in March. If you haven’t yet booked passage on the greatest floating vibe on the seas, you can go to JOCOCRUISE.COM.
BONA FIDE OFFER: if you use code HODGMAN24 at checkout, I will play Scrabble with you on board. And let me tell you, I’m not as good as I USED TO BE.
Will also do Yahtzee, Parcheesi, or Monopoly Deal. No Boggle. No Uno. No discussion.
IT WILL BE FUN
If you can’t get to any of these places, I miss you. And also you can share this with anyone you think might benefit from these public announcements.
If you ready to receive the secrets, inside the room at the top of the stairs you will find: personal Coulton creep shots, details on two bizarre coincidences, gossip about babies, and me crying over Taylor Swift.
As for the rest of the message,
The rest of this message is SECRET.
*PS The wifi didn’t last. I’m actually finishing this part of the message to you at baggage claim at SFO.
