What we’re about
Let’s hang out, mingle and make some new friends!
A couple of rules to adhere to: We exist to have fun…discussions involving politics and religion are strongly discouraged at our events. We exist to socialize and have fun; we encourage members to be respectful to everyone in the group and encourage having a diverse member base.

“Dietrich is far and away one of the most gifted talents performing today.” – Albany Herald
“His style is easy, inviting us to laugh out loud on occasion. Others touch our hearts deeply. His expressive use of vocabulary reminds me of Norman Rockwell, painting instead with a pen.” – Galveston Daily News
