Greetings to all! And thank you times infinity.

I can’t express how much I appreciate you sweet, sweet newsletter subscribers for your patience as I slowly recover from The Age of Magical Overthinking book launch and Magical Overthinkers podcast premiere. The past few months have been a queasy-making tornado of pressure and attention, and as I’ve been recalibrating to the gravity back on Earth, returned to my little office where I’m most comfortable, I am terrible grateful to those of you who have granted me grace and stuck around. Regular newsletter posts will resume in the coming weeks, including some delightful behind-the-scenes tidbits and a bigger writing workshop project, all of which I’ve been very eager to put together but just haven’t had a spare nanosecond. I’m glad to report that scarcity of time is about to broaden!

Before I officially retire from the hullabaloo of book tour, I am giddy to be doing one last hurrah of events in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Seattle.

July 12: Chicago, IL — The Big Magical Cult Show at Park West (buy tickets here!)

July 13: Minneapolis, MN — The Big Magical Cult Show at Cedar Cultural Center (buy tickets here!)

July 29: Seattle, WA — The Age of Magical Overthinking book event at Elliott Bay Book Company (free!)

The Chicago and Minneapolis events are special ticketed performances of The Big Magical Cult Show, a wacky variety show featuring drag and burlesque performances, custom drinks and merch, a “parasocial Powerpoint,” meet & greet, and more. Here are some stills from my shows in Brooklyn and Philly to give you a taste of the vibe!

Tickets are on sale now, and I’ve decided to give away 5, plus these adorable Sounds Like A Cult stickers (which are not for sale anywhere)! I announced this giveaway on my Instagram yesterday, but I wanted to share that paid subscribers here will be five times as likely to win if you follow the rules for entry below!
