just came on here to say that i stumbled into one of your shows a few months ago during a pretty bad depressive episode, and your absurdist humor and sheer enthusiasm for useless facts that night quite literally turned my life around ever since. it was the first time i genuinely laughed in a while, and it really reminded me a lot about the joys that could be found in life if you just take the time to look and appreciate what's out there. i guess laughter really can be the best medicine sometimes.
so when you say your shows 'did not change any lives in a meaningful way' - i can't speak for others but i can definitely say it at least changed my life in a meaningful way, so thank you for that.
oddly enough, i've never before been more grateful for the existence of the autism spectrum, making it so that it was possible for a group called Aspergers Are Us to have formed and helped birth the Depths of Wikipedia Live Show.
whatever happens with the show in the future, whether it continues, evolves further (i personally hope it does!), or simply comes to a halt - i wish you the best of luck :)
(oh and p.s. thanks for autographing my bongcloud shirt, it's my new favorite thing ever!)
Organic growth, of stuff that happens out of nowhere when you least imagine it is absolutely the way to know that you are in the right path.
I am in San Francisco and I will be looking and keeping my eyes for goofy guests for you, ( lots, always happening here)
but in the meantime, I sent my daughter over to your show in San Diego on Sunday because I cannot be there. Have a great show. I’m looking forward to meeting you someday.!

hey Annie
thanks for sharing!
super inspiring to see how quickly things have changed - the gimmick account to traveling slideshow is a wild arc
also just graduated college this year so it’s super motivating to see how much you’ve been able to accomplish since then
