Bottlerocket Says
Here's something about me- I love Desus & Mero. And also Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.  So when I saw Josh Gondelman tweet out "I'm thinking about going on tour, where should I go?", I immediately left my professionalism at the door and contacted him through 3 different methods to say "YOU SHOULD COME HERE, TO BOTTLEROCKET!". Thankfully, he agreed with me! So now, he is coming here, to Bottlerocket! And you should also be coming to Bottlerocket, to see the very talented Josh Gondelman!
