I’m looking forward to this. I’ve previously only been in public societies.

Is this where we lobby for the return of Jean and John too?

Jean doesn't live in NYC at the moment, but I will work with her any time any where I can. She's on this week's JJHO.

Unfortunately I know, she's in that state, near that city neither of which will be named. But thanks for the guest bailiff spots. And I can always hope, those shows were definitely some of the most fun I've ever had in The Bell House. Thanks!

Of course I subscribed! Thanks John for continuing to share bits of yourself and your creations with us all! I am really looking forward to the show in Brooklyn on 11/7! (I don’t usually use so many exclamation points, but they seemed appropriate here.) Sarah Nachmias from the Philly area.

Just last week I was listening to a band that I was introduced to by Secret Society and was fondly reminiscing of all those shows. So, this was an absolute delight to see.

PitchBlak Brass Band. I've gotta sort through my CDs and figure out what else I originally got to hear because the live Society meetings. It was a great mix of folks I knew and people I didn't, genuinely thanks for all those times. Looking forward to this incarnation.

Yeah, the greatest. That band is not active as a group anymore but all the individual members are still killing it.

I believe there is some apocalypse mayonnaise still in my basement someplace. Don't worry, I'll burn it.

Will we also somehow do a sing-a-long at the end? And where might I find the Malort? :)
