Thank You For An Amazing Live Show!
Added 2021-09-06 16:06:08 +0000 UTC
Hello!
So, I'm sitting in the passenger seat of Micah’s car coming home from our somewhat surreal trip to Western Pennsylvania for Last Stand’s first ever live show. It was a rousing success, to say the least. There’s so much buzzing through my mind right now, but for the time being, I merely wanted to express gratitude.
To the hundreds of people who either/or came to our show on Saturday night or to our meet and greet the next day: Thank you. You were awesome. It was my first live event since 2016 (indeed, it’s the first in Last Stand’s history), and pretty much everyone else’s first live appearance ever. Your enthusiasm and passion was infectious. Your kindness and eagerness didn’t go unnoticed. I’m incredibly pleased that our vision for what a Last Stand live show could be met and surpassed so many of your expectations. I’m even more pleased that we all got to see in the flesh first-hand just how wonderful this community is.
To my staff: Very, very well done. I’ve never worked with a finer set of professionals (in Dustin, Ben, and those they brought into the fold). You orchestrated everything and ensured it went off without a hitch. You likewise rallied your hometown to our cause, and it was an honor to be a part of that experience. We met a lot of great people in Butler -- including your respective parents, who are fantastic -- and I’m grateful to have you as the tinkerers, engineers, and doers of our brand. Bravo.
To the hosts: You showed up and brought the heat. I think I take for granted that I’ve done many live appearances, sometimes in front of a thousand people or more. This was something new for all of you, and you all came prepared, full of energy, and ready to deliver. I was so happy that we could all finally be together, break bread, talk, and of course drink copious alcohol and smoke cigars. I am absolutely beaming with pride for each of you. You should each have your head held high for a job very well done, indeed.
We’re gonna take the next couple of days to decompress. (Don’t worry, though: There won’t be an interruption in content.) In the coming weeks, we’ll have an internal post-mort, and maybe we’ll even do a podcast talking about the experience. We have a lot to say about it, and certainly more people to thank and acknowledge.
But in the meantime, yes: The show will be posted on YouTube in the coming weeks. And yes: There will be more live shows in 2022.
But for now, I wanted to thank everyone for a wonderful weekend. Top to bottom, I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I hope that everyone who participated feels the same.
Talk soon. -Colin

This was a heroic feat Colin. Especially against anxiety. I drove 3 hours on Saturday after working both of my jobs to get a photo with you and see the team in a room. Admittedly my anxiousness wouldn’t let me say hi to you at the meet and greet, but I mustered up a convo with both Chris and Dustin. I won’t beat myself up about it, next time I’ll make sure I say hi and get that photo :)

Awesome. What an amazing team you made here. Congratulations Colin, and thank you for all the wonderful and interesting content. If I knew how Patreon worked better, I would probably enjoy it here, but I usually download podcsst in the free feeds or watch on YouTube.

Yo! There's me in the back right with the Xbox shirt. 😂
Hell of a show, and such a wonderful weekend. The community is so friendly and fun to hang with. Everybody from LSM was so genuine and always willing to talk/hang out with everybody there. Had to be a ton of work. But you guys made it into something special in my opinion.
Butler was a wonderful little town. I'm glad it was smaller and more intimate. Ben and Dustin did a hell of a job. Hopefully you guys can do a show again there in the future. Loved it.
I will remember that for the rest of my life. My old lady and I had a blast! Im glad to be apart of the best community out there! Thanks LSM! :)

I wasn't able to make it, but seeing photos of y'alls authentic joy kept me smiling all weekend. Last Stand is truly something special <3
2021-09-06 19:07:46 +0000 UTC
The event was absolutely so much to be a part of. Thank you Colin, and thanks to the entire team (and the discord boys) for making it an absolutely unforgettable experience. I'll be sending more thorough feedback through DM, but I just wanted to say I had such a wonderful time ❤

Hey! That’s me on the very left behind the dude in blue shorts! It was an amazing show, so incredibly funny. Couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. While hilarious, we still had some meaningful conversation about some of the greatest games of all time. It was nice talking to like minded people who share a love of this company in podcast. ( shoutout to the two dudes who sat in front of me and I talked with while we waited for it to start)

Thank You, Colin & ALL of the LSM staff and Volunteers at the event! It was an Incredible Experience that I don’t think I could’ve ever been a part of if it wasn’t held in a spot that isn’t the “usual” for these events. And for the content, you guys absolutely CRUSHED IT, seriously, thank you so much! And the community was great in person, met some really nice people! Can’t wait for the next one!

2021-09-06 17:13:38 +0000 UTC
I didn't think about the fact that this was the LSM team's 1st live show (barring Colin), and honestly, it didn't even show. As someone who does public speaking it can be very intimidating and you all completely crushed it. In fact, it wasn't until Chris posted it was his 1st live show that I realized this about the team. Y'all are naturals! Kudos to all, and that includes the LSM community. Everyone earned a Plat!
***Just want to clarify. I know it was LSM's 1st live show, just didnt know none of them did a live show outside of LSM.

Congrats on the show. I’m really happy to hear that it was a success. I know you just got done but as they in German: the “after a show” is the “before the next” (confusing I know). I would love for the next one to be in Germany. If you need a contact person for that I’d love to help.
