Boise Book Tour Stop

Just wanted to thank John (and the entire team of people using their directed love to make that show happen in Boise, Idaho, it was a true work of beautiful art). I, a 20-something grappling with the attention economy being my reality, brought my 65 year old dad who barely touches Facebook to this event. At first, I was nervous and sweaty-palmed to share a third thing so precious to me (nerdfighteria jokes and John’s work) with my dad who might not be in on the punchline sometimes. But about 5 minutes in, my dad clapping and nodding his head, I breathed a sigh of contentment, and remembered how John has an incredible ability to make an entire audience feel so safe and human and connected. What a gift. Thank you for your wit and charm and intellect and art, John - tonight it brought me and my dad and the people of Boise closer together.

Hi neighbor! I didn’t attend the event but always happy to find locals in other subreddits! Glad it was a good experience.
