Also worth noting - 10/18 is gonna be FUN. Folks will have awesome signs. The vibes will be fantastic. There'll probably be music! A parade! Thousands of like-minded people! I bet some inflatable frogs will show up!

Bowser just walked into the restaurant where [redacted] and I are eating

Tell him I said howdy!!!!!
