Hey Fam—In advance of this week’s live shows, we’ve set up members-only threads for people going to the events in case you want to figure out meet-ups or ride-sharing or whatnot. The thread for LA is here. The thread for Seattle is here.

It gives me so much joy to see you guys finding each other and coming together as a community.

If you’re going to be around either city, you can still grab tickets. Come and be part of the show.
