I should have done this a few days ago, but quite frankly, I haven’t been in the best headspace. There was an active shooter at the UNLV campus on Wednesday, December 8.

Jimmy Kimmel was taping in Las Vegas this week, and we scored tickets. First we waited in this line to get into the parking garage. It took over an hour to park.
