A white-roped wrestling ring inside Thalia Hall. A referee and ring announcer wait to kick the show off.
This is such a cool venue for wrestling.
Show #5 for the year, fourth venue, third promotion, second state.
There were zombies, gang members, clowns, straight razors, glass, cartwheels. A real medley.
YES. The audience impacts the show both in the immediate and long-term with their reactions.
So wrestling combines the "home team" community aspect of sports, the "local music scene" support and discovery aspect, and the novelty of seeing new-to-you performers interact with your favorites.
Let's add: pro wrestling exists around the world in slightly different presentations but as a relatively universal storytelling language.
In virtually any city in the USA you can find at least one weekly/monthly event with local wrestlers + touring guests.
Beyond that: pro sports and the sports media spends a lot of time analyzing the stories going on: rivalries between players/teams, business/trade/free agent speculation, management and coaching decisions, etc.
Sports fans love that stuff, and pro wrestling does all of it as well.
There's also layers: viewers know that the wrestling is worked and there's no legit sport going on.
But, because the conceit is of a sporting event, wrestlers colluding or otherwise being unsportsmanlike will draw a reaction as if the event were real.
The purpose of fiction is to make you *feel.*
No LEGO?!
A friend's 27 year old daughter, Violet, is missing during a mental health crisis. She has been seen in the Ballard area. Seattle people, PLEASE share this URL and keep an eye out!

Trying to raise money to cover travel expenses to BreakoutCon, please share around!
def a lot of people whose pools really should be filled by the same truck
Just learning about this today? Ahhhhh!
It's been *mumble-mumble* years, and CMD-J being "jump to page" in InDesign and "Open Javascript Debugger" in Acrobat still makes me something-something, where something-something is "frequently closing the goddamned javascript debugger"
Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.
trying out a new feature, lmk if it works
If it had one more key in each row it could replace a QWERTY layout!
This graphic shows the cover of BRONA, which features a castle on a cliff-- Paranor!-- and two figures standing in the foreground. One is a warrior with bow and arrows, and the other is a straight-up wizard with a glowing staff. The colors are turquoise and violet with an orange sky. And OH BOY, you are NOT READY for the feelings. Like, I cry into my shirt every time I edit this book.
COVER REVEAL!!
Working with @terrybrooks.bsky.social and the Del Rey team has been an absolute joy, and I can't wait for you to meet Abronja, son of Galaphile Joss, the first Druid of Shannara! Preorders are open now in hardcover, e-book, and audiobook: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/611529...
BRICKS ON MAIN?!?!
I could have told you not to open the box. @danhausen.bsky.social

"You have money and no taste"? :D
One of my favorite things is when you notice a wrestler smiling in a match when their character shouldn't be.
Some joy just shines thru.
HELLO
With GAMA Expo coming up this week, its a good time to remind that trade shows are professional settings and should be safe places to network, connect and make business happen.
I've been sober for almost 6 years now, which has been such a welcome change.
The wrestling ring at a first wrestling show before the event starts. The ring ropes and turnbuckles are black.
Delayed church post. I don't think I've ever seen the VFW so full or be as loud.
This is because before the country was flooded with imported round tires from the USA, Canada used metric tires which are triangular.
This. Place. Is. Packed!

#Unleashed
There was a time in this country when you could get a PlayStation demo with your large pizza. Sometimes the stoned high schooler would even throw in a free 2-liter. We were kings, once.
This curling coverage that doesn’t show every single throw is the most satanic thing ever.
MINNEAPOLIS! This Saturday, @f1rstwrestling.bsky.social returns to the Uptown VFW for UNLEASHED! We're also teaming with @smittenkittenmn.bsky.social to raise funds for their mutual aid to help impacted neighbors. Come have fun and support our community! 🌾
So gorgeous out today.
Got to take Pacey for a walk + dance party without bundling up. :D
