I was able to connect with a few cast members! This is so great, thank you everyone.

I’m still interested to talk to non-cast workers such as kitchen, retail, and servers if anyone knows folks doing that.

my whole life has really been a long, slow upward grade from the day I pissed myself in the Apple Store at age 11. I wish everyone could experience the joy and clarity of such a clearly defined rock bottom

Elated to see that @mariabamford.bsky.social liked my photo of my tapestry - Maria, I am a big fan and really appreciate how you talk about labor as an artist! I’m excited to see your show in Chattanooga in the spring!

a detail at the top of my tapestry that I’m not sure anyone has noticed so far… “Chattanooga Halleluja” spelled out in the windows as a reference to YGTUT, one of several great rappers to come out of Chattanooga in the last decade.
