Last but not least, a very good grievance section. It's a good one. Our next event! Today, I’m pleased to announce that we are  coming to Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, on June 13 and 14   for a special VIP dinner and a live taping of our weekly podcast,  Suspension of the Rules .   Tickets are on sale now !   Why Berkeley Springs?  It’s an American gem. Incorporated in 1776, history abounds — George Washington used to visit with his ill brother, who believed the springs could improve his health. Now, it’s known for its greenery, spas, and resorts.  Speaking of history, we’ll be recording live inside the  historic Star Theatre. Berkeley Springs is just a few hours from Washington, D.C.; Pittsburgh; Philly; Maryland; New Jersey; Ohio; and even parts of Virginia and North Carolina. If you’re looking for a summer weekend getaway,  this is it ! Right now, this is the only live event on our schedule. We’re hoping to hold a few more this year — but for now, it’s the only one we can guarantee! Most of the Tangle team will be in attendance, which is unique. Unlike past events where it’s been just me and a few others, this is shaping up to be an opportunity to meet and interact with the full team. We have already sold over half of our VIP tickets, and general admission tickets are going fast. This is a small theater, so to  secure your tickets before a sellout , you should hop on it now!
