@PatrickBallest @kerrydixon @SD_Comic_Con The ads on the back had me cackling!

@GeekyHooker I don't have a pic, but definitely some of the best swag I've gotten in years. Biggest surprise was The Awakening where I got a free t-shirt, lanyard, and refreshing mocktail with 0 line!

reject booktok culture. go to the library and get a weird little novel you've never heard of in your life and read it in 2 days just like god intended.

@BethSleven Second critter drop today to have me going up and down stairs. I may not be getting there in time to get the critters, but ya'll are getting me to do cardio this year 😅

@GeekyHooker There are a lot of good cocktail/food places. A new favorite is Books & Records in Bankers Hill, near Balboa Park. The Smoking Goat in North Park also has good Old Fashioneds and French food.

@mistresstailor Your pattern matching is so good!

@GeekyHooker There's a group based in San Diego called So Say We All that does monthly storytelling events in SD and LA. They have an event on July 25th if you feel like adding something to your Con week. ~10 min true stories read by their authors, always a great time.

If you don't have the budget to prioritize safety, then you don't have the budget to make movies. Full stop.

@seananmcguire People complaining about things being confusing when they don't follow the numbered order by starting at the beginning drive me absolutely batty.

people assume that we get boring as we grow older but ideally you should become stranger and more unhinged.

Unions, because it’s VERY unlikely three spirits will appear and scare your boss into doing the right thing.

Congratulations @Target on getting me to change where I buy half of the products I normally buy at Target by putting SO MANY THINGS behind locked doors.

See you there!

Happy Stage Management Day to all Stage Managers! May your book be clean, your actors and house on time, and your show phenomenal. #stagemgrs23

[Josie Gerk @JEGthe2nd]

Having a "so relieved plans were canceled" kind of day. Partly because I'm exhausted and partly because I have things to do.

[Josie Gerk @JEGthe2nd]

Text threads between stage managers and ASMs are hilarious and include absolutely no context because half of the context is something that just happened onstage 🤣

[Josie Gerk @JEGthe2nd]

Sometimes having theater as a second job means going to your day job feeling more well rested than you have all weekend only for someone in the office to say you look tired 🫠

Theater ticket systems NEED to modernize. I just bought tickets for a Broadway show and had to switch to a laptop because the system didn't work on my phone. Come on guys, it's 2023.
