@GailSimone Not sure, but I heard the band America was pretty big in Chicago. Almost as big as Asia was in Kansas.

@thegistusa @sincy12 True legend. Congratulations on an amazing international career, @sincy12 👏👏👏

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@AzraHawthorne You absolutely should. You are a joy to work with during games, and commit to your character throughout!

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@AzraHawthorne I have to remind myself that not everything I create has to be amazing. But that nothing I create will be amazing, if I don't create anything. I sometimes hesitate because I'm worried the result won't be what I'd hoped. Let that go, make a first attempt, and build from there.

@MadameDM_DND Hadn't played #DnD in ~30 yrs when a friend invited me to play w/ some of our actor & artist friends, having a blast. Meeting the brilliant @d20Dames led me to playing in @Rage_Kage_Games' one-shot campaign. Creative, caring people, in & away from the game. That can't be beat.

@hyperachel Love this for you, Rachel! Have the best time with this!

In life as on stage or screen, Glenda Jackson was a force of nature. I'll forever treasure this exchange with my son. Farewell, Ms. Jackson.

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@BroadwayWorld In March, my acting student son & I saw Glenda Jackson as King Lear. Having just finished a powerful, 3 1/2-hour performance, she came out filled with energy & gratitude for everyone who was waiting. And she gave Cameron some practical advice for when he starts his career.

@VogelPaula Love that my Tony-viewing evening ends by seeing this from you, as I sit here wearing my t-shirt from your beautiful Indecent.

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@Leigh_Paints Just getting back into painting after almost 40 years. This is both inspiring and instructional. Fantastic work!

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@ZombaeKillz Sending good vibes your way 😀

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@DorklordCanada Knew someone would beat me to that one!

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@HeroForgeMinis Thanks so much. It's feeling good to get back into painting after so many years.

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@KatKruger Hope you’re having a lovely birthday weekend, Kat. You deserve it!

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@CRW_scribbler @mz4250 Or Celium, so when asked, "Who's your friend?" Zuggtmoy could answer "That's my Celium!"

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@PublicTheaterNY Thanks for this interview. Can't wait to learn more about Ying Ying Li's new play. Sounds like it would be a fascinating read.

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@KatKruger @RageKagexRugger @HeroForgeMinis Thanks! He has been so fun to play. And he’s almost 10!🎂

[Mike Nalley @TheAisShort]

@venikunche Along those lines, how many people ask:
"I've played Madden for years. Should people call me Coach?"
"I've sung in my shower forever since I was a kid. I bought a karaoke machine. Should people say I'm a professional singer?"
I mean, yeah, dude, you *do* need help.
