Finally got the right window of time where we could watch the show, our first taste of Varietopia -- worth every sesterces... The band was really great -- do they travel with the show, or are they just LA-based?

Phew! Was that purchase ever a journey! Thought I was losing my mind over not finding a “purchase tickets” button — it was squarely hidden behind the cookie interrogation pop-up I was trying to ignore the whole time!

Dang, Janie -- now I want homemade cookies! It's a quarter to 7 in the morning, too! It'd be more tolerable if it was a quarter to 12 (or a baker's dozen)...

His bit on chronic depression in the matrix is incredible. I also suffer from it and Paul has been a real help. Not mention all the laughs, that super helps. PFT is my comedic spirit animal 🐩

I know, right? We have to gently nudge PFT to release an album of covers he did with Eban back at Largo when they recorded the live show “Paul F. Tompkins Hogs The Covers “. I told him he needs to release that!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

A few years back, my oldest heard “How Strange is Now” playing somewhere and he had never heard the original. He had only heard the cover that Paul shared as a clip on the Pod F. Tompkast when I was listening to it sooo many years ago lol he said it sounded almost identical to his memory.

Very interesting to learn PFT conquers his stage fright by drinking poison before each show.

Watched the live-stream Saturday and I highly recommend others check it out! I've already got my ticket for the 17th.
