This was the beautiful tribute that my team snuck into the end of the @rngfest gala. Thankfully I was wearing sunglasses to hide the tears. Felt so good to be surrounded by so much love. Best retirement party ever. So much love for all these folks! I won’t torture you all with the 15 minute cut. by @joelmccarthy

Thank you to the team extended cut. Apparently the videos in the last post all cut off at a minute. No expectation for anyone in their sane mind to actually watch me ramble for this long. But so many good people need to be thanked. by @joelmccarthy

So grateful for the best retirement party ever and the best community. This side quest has resulted in 11 of the best years of my life. I’ll still be around, but I’m stoked to not have all this hard work resting on my shoulders. Excited to just be the fun uncle. (I’ll still be running @sngfest because it’s less work and I can’t totally quit.)

Wanted to share some gratitude with the amazing team taking over. Run N Gun is in such good hands. And if you make it all the way to the last slide, you’ll get to hear my hot takes on throwing a mindful event. So stoked to see what the team does next year! @discoveryphotos @tristan_c_pina @saigedewell @randileeleonard @christina.marie.adams @wormcereal @ashleysugi @aarontrippy @jude.gross @ethanwingrovetv @marielashuley @aalisonchan by @joelmccarthy

The theme was One Last Millennial Rager and I think we nailed it.

@vancouversketchfest was a blast last night. It was a fun full circle moment to see Bowie’s first directed / written by project on the big screen. He was extra stoked to take home the “little spuddy” award. by @joelmccarthy
