You may not read all of this but that’s ok.

Back in November of 2025 I decided to make a special. I had offers but I wanted to make it with full artistic integrity and ownership. I knew this would be import and and I didn’t want just anyone owning it.

I hired @dangerworks and my good friend @rockpaperwolf to produce/do production . I asked my friend @maureentaran to produce creative and help make it come to life. Then I was able to hire my friend and creative powerhouse @sellenit to design a set that would blow your mind. My friends came together and made it happen.

Then more friends came to make an incredible special: @danaxe put together Sellen’s dream with the team at @brooklynbloomsnyc . @chasethatpadgett came in last minute as audio engineer and candelabra expert. @pura_chingonerias came in and was a helpful hand in every way. @micaela.joelle made my hair look incredible and I’m still wearing the extensions. @aimeeavilesmakeup who did my makeup for the last special made me look beautiful, @mrseanpatton opened both shows, @shawnatnight took incredible photos, @jonagua was an expert AD and the entire production crew was professional and made this thing look so impressive my face hurts from smiling.

But of course this special doesn’t get made without the over 300 donations made by fans, friends, family and my angel investor @stevecranecomedy (look what you did buddy!!) and to my buds who FLEW OUT @lilithanne @fingeretta @calebczeringue @silentchris love you !

My heart is still SWOLE from ALL THE LOVE. Truly. I cannot thank yall enough for all the work and love you put into this set. I know my sister was there with us. Thank you thank you thank you.

Life is really hard sometimes. You can get in your own head. You can mess up situations that you want to go smoothly. But if you surround yourself with good people they will help you through it. They will put up with your bullshit, even if they bust your balls along the way. Know your people, and make sure they know you too. Life is about the connections we make, so make sure you keep the ones that mean the most to you.
