YMTE at the TRAVERSE CITY WINTER COMEDY ARTS FESTIVAL CANCELLED
February 14, 2014

Due to snow in D.C., YMTE at the Traverse City Winter Comedy Arts Festival has been cancelled. No flights out of D.C. = no show. I'm sorry. This really sucks. Hopefully we can do 2015 and it won't be snowing in the middle of February. If you're in Michigan, go to the festival and say hello to Tia and give her nice things like handshakes and money and stuff.
