WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OR FIRST MEMORY OF WTF?
Sitting here with Julia typing this right now
For Julia, its when we coached her through making her first omelets
And Amy’s birthday
And when we met the bunny that lives on the Nikos backstage
And bar tending at the Cabarets
And breakfast at the Blue Benn
And …
And…
And…
