Chris Bower is the PR person for Cafe Neckbeard, a fine dining salad focused 24 hour cash only eatery in THLSN (The Historic Logan Square Neighborhood) Every month, Chris visits The Therapy Sessions hosted by Seth Vanek at the Hungry Brain to talk about the cafe.  Because Chris wants to fit into the show, he tends to prepare material that blends with the theme of the show.  This month's theme was INTROVERSION/EXTROVERSION/ALTERNATE VERSIONS.

Cafe Neckbeard Flag Day/Dan's Birthday

This is the monologue that Tuxedo delivered at Cafe Neckbeard: Dinner in Le Cafe in the Neck of the Whale, January 2018.  He asked to speak at the event, which was celebrating Chef Anton "*" Anis' new menu, Atomic Delights  (featuring ingredients that could survive an atomic holocaust) and this was what he had to say.

This is a recording of the essay I wrote for The Paper Machete about the November 2019 Impeachment Inquiry.  The Paper Machete is a live weekly magazine show at The Green Mill, in Chicago.  The show is every Saturday at 3 PM. It's free. It's awesome.

Before I read the essay, I do talk a little, so skip ahead, if you'd like.
