Sorry Folx!

I honestly forgot to ask for help, and took on too many responsibilities. So, THREE THINGS:

#1 We’re pushing the INVASION Part 1 performance back to Saturday, Sept 20th - since, we were already coming back to that date for Part 2 REVOLUTION (now on Dec 6th).

#2 Everyone that has bought a ticket for the AUG 16th Show, gets into the SEPT 20th for FREE & receives a free poster as an apology for the postponed performance.

#3 If you missed our AUG 16th show: take this as a sign that you should go to this show! Seriously, get a ticket - and, if you need a comp, let me know. This is a story for US. This is a story for the mo' and folks.

This is a story that'll give you a healing sort of laughter. And, I want to see every single one of you there for this performance. It's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. IYKYK

Love Love Love,
