Geoff is performing as a part of @infomainstreetarts A Night of True Stories. It's a #Moth-like evening of stories from folks in SE #Vermont. Tickets can be had by going to https://www.mainstreetarts.org/ or purchasing them at the door, but they cost less in advance. See you there!
Do you need a new best friend or two? These adorable pups were found on the side if the road in #Texas by a friend just before #Christmas. She was on a roadtrip from New England to see friends and family in the #Houston area, and found these two. Now named Jake and Bella, they'd been living on their own for a while. Now they're in the care of a vet in Houston, fully #vetted, #groomed, well fed, and are being treated for #heartworm. Soon they'll need a #rescue, #foster, or a #home as my friend lives in a cat only building. Can you help?
#NewEngland folks, I'm a finalist in this very cool show! Please come see me and the other lucky 13 finalists perform on 1/26/23 at 6:30pm at the @thelatchis in @brattleboro. Doors are at 6:00pm. Tickets are available in advance via the @brattlebororeformer website or at the door, day of, cash only. For advance purchase discount tickets go to reformer.com/tickets and use the code talent.
