Howdy, y’all! Sid here from Do210, filling in for Pamela for the next couple of days. It’s finally October, and let me tell you, this is the absolute best time of year. And yes, I’m being 100% biased because, like Pamela, I too am celebrating a birthday this month. What can I say? October birthdays are pretty awesome. Forgive me for rambling. Before we get into today’s plans, let’s give away some tickets! You could see Shane Dawson Live! Exclusive Screening of Cancelled at Cullen Performance Hall on October 29. Enter to win a pair and catch the exclusive screening in person!*
