ADULT FRIENDS
ADULT FRIENDS
Adam Svec
Adult Friends is a show exploring ways in which people make and keep friends after the safety net of a school structure has gone away. Modern adult life involves prioritizing certain things, such as marriage, children, careers, and jet-setting across the world. These are all important considerations as we hurdle towards the grave; however, in my opinion, adult friendship gets under-valued, and I'd like to hear some stories about it.

Ted Held
This week, we're back to the traditional format of Adult Friends. My good friend Ted and I had a chat about all things under the sun (which explains the run time). Ted is in one of my favorite local bands, Wizards Are Real: https://wizardsarereal.bandcamp.com/.

Adopted Friends 6: Aric McKeown
Long before Aric and I met, I was a fan of his improv troupe, The Mustache Rangers. This Friday (June 7, 2019) at 7:30pm at Strike Theater in Minneapolis, go see the Mustache Rangers perform during the fundraiser for Huge Theater. Aric is also a contributor to another of my favorite improv teams in town, ShowX (Monday nights at Huge Theater).  Aric and Levi had me on as a guest to their podcast, Regret Labs, a couple years back: https://noisepicnic.com/our-lovely-podcasts/regretlabs/pitch-perception-podcast ... but we mostly talk about Aric's experience adopting a daughter.

Adopted Friends 1: Pat Tracy
Pat and I were having a discussion among friends at the CC Club a couple months ago, when it came to our attention that both of us are/were/continue-to-be adopted. I've only hung out with Pat on one other occasion, but we had a lovely chat. http://www.itspattracy.com/
