I'm excited to see a bunch of you tonight! And just as a reminder, we'll be sending out the Zoom link invite to paid subscribers some time around 6:30 for the chat beginning at 8pm EDT. Woooohooooo!

We're like a well oiled machine now, Charlie – ha ha. Well, your side is anyway. Also, when you tell people to mute themselves, because wow, do they ever listen to you – must be the school teacher vibe, make sure they know that they can unmute at any time to say anything ridiculous at all. I want to hear it all. And I love being interrupted!!

Before I had to take down that other post that I sent out wrong, I saw some of you who commented that you'll be there tonight, including Beth The Lovely Lurker (yay!), and I cannot wait. Thank you!

Maybe I'll even introduce Beni to my dogs, Lunch and Sunflower, if they're not being too crazy to join the party. Can't wait to meet your Beni! 🌻 🥪

I missed out! Will there be another one soon-ish?

(And with that, I am done spamming your comments sections Jane…at least for today!) but in all seriousness, AJPT has fast become one of my favorite online spaces. The vibe here is impeccable. *chefs kiss*

We will definitely do another one soon, and you will be there, yay! Also never too much spamming the comments. Also, AJPT has the best online community. I was being interviewed by another editor recently for her publication and she said that her community was the best and I didn't say it at the time, but I so want to go back and say it's pretty good, but AJPT is the most interesting and unique and supportive – plus there are 40 years of history with some of the relationships here. So beat that, other editor!

I didn't understand the free merchandise, how does that work? do you have to live in new york?

Jane Pratt's avatar

We will mail out the merchandise, so you don't have to worry about that part. If you are dying to come with me to clear out my storage space (please!), then you would have to get yourself to the New York area. The storage space is in the Bronx, but we can go there together from whatever part of the city you are in, if you are. Thanks for the questions!

Yay! I'm coming! Alas, I haven't had a chance to get my issues of Sassy, which are temporarily being stored at my mom's house.

No problem, your sassiness will suffice! So glad you're coming!

We will miss you! I was sad to edit you out of this description for tonight, but you will be there in spirit and your reason for not coming is totally valid. Love you, Eliz!

You're perfect. I tried to send you the link myself, but Substack wasn't letting me access your email the way I had hoped. Charlie said he'll get it to you before the call. I'm so excited to meet you! Soon!
