In Seattle in the 1990s, the local Pat Cashman KOMO radio show had a bit about ridiculous town slogans.
I still hear it in my nightmares.
"Bring your butt to Kenmore!"
(Kenmore is a shabby suburb of Seattle, sorry if you live in Kenmore.)
FYI, Pat Cashman is the "radio" guy from "Almost Live!", the local Seattle comedy improv show.

1 June 2023: Verbing the Noun | AlmostLive.

Being present with what you are doing.

It’s been a hot half year, and I’m finally dropping new episodes of #AlmostLive.

Check your fav pod catcher or check out the link.

Just checking in before I attempt to do a lot more than I thought I would.

31 May 2023: Restarting again | AlmostLive.

Sometimes the flow of life breaks exactly wrong.

Current podcast plans:

I’m going to re-record every ep of #AlmostLive over a few weeks. Since I’m now in a space that has a ton of QoS improvements, I can record the eps in better quality without needing to use software editing.

I’m also setting a challenge for myself of attempting to release an ep every day for a year, including some kind of vlog version for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Definitely will need to figure those logistics out this week.

Available wherever you pod your pods.

#PatCashman's grandfather had his business burned down by the Klan in Bend, Oregon, on account of his Catholicism. (He regrouped with other targets and eventually ran the Klan out of town.)
