Last week we lost comedian and friend, Kenny DeForest. We wanted to say some words about our amazing friend, though we could never say enough to do him justice. If you're a comedy fan, we encourage you to check out his comedy, which is available all over the internet. We'll post some links below as well. He'll be dearly missed.

We're taking the rest of 2023 off, and will see you in 2024.
Happy holidays, take care and see ya soon.
