Decided to go to a comedy club for an open mic night for the first time tonight with a friend. I was worried it was gonna be sketchy but literally my only complaint is that it wrapped up after just one hour instead of two. So we went walking in a local park and saw a splash pad light show.
The real tragedy of this election cycle is that things are way too heated to let fans start rallying for Amy Poehler to go as Leslie Knope to cheer on Joe Biden's finale
