Idk if this is the right place to post, but this brought back a semi-buried memory of a woman in the QB scene pressuring me at my first event outside of UCF QB practice to cuddle with her since I said I didn't know how (I was 18 she was in her mid 30s I believe.) I believe I did it probably for some...

the hope is to have an in-person event down here in Florida in the late summer glad to see my fellow Floridians taking the pandemic seriously I floated the idea, once or twice, of running something after 8 weeks of dropping case numbers. And only then. And then, to a lot of pushback. You can apprai...

Did I miss anyone? Let me know.

Hello Alan! It'll be at UCF on February 24th. Having written about a quarter of the set, I'm really excited about this! I hate to spoil the surprise, but maybe more than 80% of the tossups are going to stem from the the hit show Torchwood and the band Die Antwood! Jokes aside, it will be at 10 o'cl...

Since a variety of people want to hear it, I will probably read it at ICT if people are available and willing but also on Skype on a quiet Sunday (probably the 16th of April) if that is alright with people.
